snow day

i was looking forward to my day off.

well, actually, i was not looking forward to waking up early {yuck! i just despise waking up early} but definitely looking forward to what was to come after my court appointment {don’t ask, so lame}.

then came news of the snow. everyone was abuzz {yesterday} about the snow that was coming. i was skeptical, as usual {i mean, c’mon…it’s chicago aaandddd it snows every year aaanddd the weatherman always claims “it’s going to be the worst snowfall of the year!” every time!}. so, as predicted, the snow was coming down early this morning. i geared up and went out to abolish this silly court thing. trudging through the snow towards the daley center…it was pretty heavy. i had my trusty sorels on, my earphones in {with some good walking jams on}, and my umbrella {i laugh at those peeps who walk by with the worst looking dandruff on their heads}. i got there early and was quickly called up in front of the judge. my ticket was dismissed {duh!} and i was on my merry way back home.

as i was walking, the snow wouldn’t stop. i was looking forward to having lunch with my dad and then, later, dinner with the sis + bro-in-law and the two cutest nephews alive. but i digressed with the idea of driving out to the ‘burbs. it made me sad. i love my days off and i love making the most of my time and i love seeing my family. damn you snow!

so, i went home. i was cooped up in my place {with no hubby charming // can you see my sad face?} and felt a little stir crazy. it’s so not me to sit around in my apartment, especially by myself! so i stared out the window, i did a little cleaning, i did a little web surfing, and i did a little crafting. time started to fly by {phew!}. finally, i did a little cooking. cooking for one seems more pragmatic and conventional than cooking for two or more, right? i’ll just cook whatever is available or i tend to eat breakfast for dinner! it’s not that important on what i cook, as long as i am fed.
