Snow Day

Scoff all you want, Blondie, but our bit of snow in Abilene yesterday was quite an exciting event. Here's what I saw out my window when I awoke:




I checked my email and saw that campus would wake up at 9:30, so I went back to bed for a while, then got up, dressed, showered, made myself a chocolate mint steamer sprinkled with cinnamon, and wrote. Ahhhh. What a lovely way to start a morning.

Jeremiah walked to my flat so we could go to campus together, and at 9:25 we were on our way when two of my sister's roommates (Megan and Leigh Anne) flagged us down from their front door. "STOP! School is canceled! Everything's closed today!" Could it be true? It was! Rejoicing in our good luck, we bid them goodbye and returned to my flat, where we cooked a lovely big brunch and watched the original Miracle on 34th Street. (I haven't seen the new one, but why would anyone bother remaking such a classic? It's wonderful!)

J slept most of the afternoon and I finished my Dorothy Sayers mystery, then wrote, then wrapped some Christmas presents before we met Happy, Bev and Cole for a long, fun dinner at Rosa's. Good talk time, good stories, and good Tex-Mex food (as always).

Off to Fort Worth to dance the night away with Cole and the rest of the Swing Cats. Cheers!
