Round 2...

Well, the blizzard is over here, but the snow days continue! My work announced last night that they won't open til 10:00 this morning, but there is no way I can even get out of the neighborhood, so I'm staying home again!

I spent a lot of time posting pics on here yesterday, so today, I'm going to take a little break from the computer, and relax with my husband. It looks like the whole neighborhood is doing the same. The drifts are amazing! I love snow.

I think I'll go make a cup of tea and read for a while. {I'd like to point out that I wrote my post and then went to find an image on Pinterest, only to come across the above quote.  Perfect!} Mmmm, sounds nice. And, I desperately need to work on my new office!  Wheeee!

What's your favorite thing to do on a day at home?

The Great Blizzard of 2011...(4:00 update)

This will be my last picture post for today.  As you can see, most of my windows are getting so snow covered that the pictures just aren't coming out!  The camera wants to focus on the screen, not the snow.  I hope you're all staying warm and cozy wherever you are!

Jon and I are enjoying our lazy day.  We made pancakes for breakfast, read for a while, I ran 3 miles on the treadmill, made some hot chocolate,and we just got done watching "I Hate Valentines Day".  Cute movie!

Speaking of cute movies, here's a little video of the blizzard for you.

It's coming down like crazy out there! I'm not sure the pictures are doing it justice.

The Great Blizzard of 2011...

Hi, friends!  Happy Tuesday to you!

As many of you probably know, that storm I mentioned yesterday, has now been upgraded to an actual blizzard!  They are calling for 1-2 inches of snow every hour from 8 this morning til 8 tonight.  Oh, and all this is happening on top of a sheet of ice that was laid down yesterday by a thin mist all day.  Eek!  I heard from my mom who heard from her hairdresser who's husband is a firefighter {did you follow me there?} that they have received an official dispatch letting them know that some streets will be impassable.

It is already coming down pretty good out there, so I decided to stay in.  I have no interest in being caught up in that!  Movies and hot chocolate will do just fine.

So, since I know some of you don't have the pleasure/displeasure of experiencing the Great Blizzard of 2011, I thought I'd post some pictures periodically throughout the day.  I hope you'll enjoy that, and not think, oh geez there Jen goes posting more pictures of snow in her yard.  I think it will be fun to see how fast it accumulates.  I took the first pics right at 8:00 am.  Not sure if once an hour is too ambitious, so we'll just say I'll pop in throughout the day.  ;)

This storm is literally affecting a good portion of the US!  

So tell me, blizzard, or no blizzard for you?  And, is anyone else craving Dairy Queen now?

There's a storm brewing....

Hi all!  I hope you had a great weekend, my friends!  I know I did.  I told Jon last night, I really don't feel like I accomplished anything this weekend.  However, it was still great. 

We kept things pretty simple.  Saturday we went grocery shopping and watched our Jayhawks whomp the Wildcats.  Yesterday I got in a 6 mile run {holla!}, went to church, did some laundry and watched Shrek Ever After.  We did have to take a quick break and google Rumplestiltskin cause neither of us could remember who he was.  Oh, and I think we decided our new Sunday tradition {at least for the rest of winter} is soup in the crock pot and pancakes for dessert.  You've heard of breakfast for dinner, why not breakfast for dessert?  ;)

There is a huge storm brewing here in the midwest and they're calling for ice today and 10-13 inches of snow tomorrow!  {holy smokes!}  I'm thinking it might be a great day to take a snow day of my own!  We'll see.

What's going on in your neck of the woods?   Watch any good movies this weekend?  


Ever had breakfast for dessert?   Have any amazing crock pot soup recipes that we should try?

I should have been a teacher...

We got about 6-8 inches of snow yesterday.  It's absolutely gorgeous, a perfect white blanket!  I have to say, some pretty snow sure helps get me through those January blues. 

Unfortunately, I'm about to venture out into that perfect blanket to go to work.  Boo.  I should have been a teacher so I could still enjoy snow days.  Except then I'd have to actually teach on the non-snow days, which I'd be horrible at.

Anyway, the original plan was to have a review for you today, but I guess with all the excitement of the snow, and with being so behind,  I forgot to write it last night, and now I don't have enough time!  So, I'll have to postpone for next week.

Now, I'm gonna go steal some snuggles from the hubs before I head out into the winter wonderland.

Does it snow where you live?  Do you like it?  Love it?  Hate it's very existence?  

I LOVE IT!  ;)

beautiful snow=can't sleep...

i fell asleep on the couch about 11:00pm.  jon woke me up at 3:30am to go to bed.  i have to say i was dreading the snow that was being called for tonight.  i'm ready for spring, and was not looking forward to another batch of the white stuff.  but...i must say, this snow is absolutely beautiful!  i looked out the window on my way upstairs and was blown away!   the flakes are the big fluffy kind, and are coming down in droves.  i couldn't help snapping some shots, and then i got all excited to wake up and see how much we get.  so, then i couldn't go back to sleep.
3:30 am

4:00 am

i can't believe how much snow fell in just 30 minutes!  i will take more pictures in the morning...well, later this morning.
