First Snow
We have an exchange employee in town for the next few weeks. She's from our counterpart in India! Josephine is a fellow CDM, and the cutest thing ever. She's very very friendly!!! and VERY excited because today she saw snow for the first time in her life!!! It was so exciting :-) Jess and I took her to lunch to Bill Grays (to experience the TRUE AMERICAN CHEESEBURGER!!!) When we were leaving the restuarant, the first few snow flakes started to fall! Josephine was so excited that she sqealed :-) I heard her telling my fellow CDMs about it this evening as everyone was packing up and heading home :-)
Anyway, by the time I left work it hadn't started snowing full force. I went to Michael's to babysit him for the evening. We had a GREAT time. It's been a few years since I've babysat him at his house and played with all his toys! Usually I take him around to do fun stuff or babysit him at my mom's or my apartment. But tonight with the cold weather, we stayed in and watched Aladdin (the original) until dinner and then played a TON of games. We played: "Don't break the Ice" "Ants in my Pants" "Clue Jr." "Ka-plunk" and "Clifford BINGO". It was totally fun :-) I even tried to get a little learning into it for Michael since he's on "vacation". He didn't even notice. He thought I was just being silly...making us say words that started with the letter I called :-) hehehe I'm so sneaky :-)
Anyway, after game time...I realized that time got away from us...and we were late for Bathtime. So we rushed through that, and his mom made it home in time for storytime...BUT!!! Little did I know, it had started snowing a TON while we were playing! So when we looked outside it was ALLLLL white!! Crazy!!! :oP The drive home wasn't fun. I feel like I've lost some of my snow driving confidence since I didn't drive in ANY snow at all last year! I was the poor little sucker on the road going 45 MPH. The one that I always pass...but I decided to take it slow because I didn't feel like dying tonight :-)
I was going to do more work tonight but it's really late, and I'm really tired...so I think I'm going to bed and I'm going to wake up early tomorrow. Try to get to work by 7:00AM so I have some time at work where I won't be interrupted. I can't wait for tomorrow. Last day before the holiday!!! Chrissy is going to sleep over tomorrow night. I guess she and Seymen planned it at dinner tonight...the family dinner that I missed b/c I was babysitting. Ohh well...I"m off to bed. Nighty nIght!!
