unbelievable as it was, today is a snow day! unbelievable because we had one (or two?) last year, and there wasn't that much snow over most of the metro. what better gift can a teacher receive than a magical wednesday surprise day off? answer, there is none. hooray for leapsnowday!
we only got about 4 inches of snow in my area, but it was preceded by an inch of freezing rain thru the night. i got up grumbling as i made the coffee at the thought of the ridiculously long drive ahead of me, then got the "school's closed" text from several people. no better way to build bonds with coworkers at a school than to keep us home for the day. had we been open, my normal commute of 15-20 minutes would have taken 90 minutes, easily...
after the fabulous news, i decided to whip up butternut squash soup - it's simmering in the crock pot as i type. mmmmmm
i take no credit for the nerdy graphic below, completely copied from a favorite blog - but then really, what else is a blog posting if not a pile of other blogs' crap and sprinkle blather. but i will post it anyway, because it is so fascinating to contemplate the perspective on our existence compared to the age of the earth.
one final favorite thing of late - this amazing short film called "Alma". it is not new, but is beautiful and wonderfully creepy. i love where all the shitty little kids end up...
