SNOW DAY

it is winter in chicago and today it snowed crazy style.  schools were cancelled for the first time this winter and people didn't go to work, including me.  i called to see if they needed me, but to my surprise and delight they did not.  not that i don't love my job, because i do, but i hate driving in the snow.  everyone is home today.  all the roommates.  i love the picture our house is painting right now.  sarah is down reading by the fire, krista is reading in the living room, danielle is cleaning her room, and i am in bed, of course.  krista has actually just come into the room so we will nap soon.  i really love this snow day.  i love this house.  i love the book i'm reading.  it's great here.

christmas is just around the corner.  i have decided to host christmas at my house.  i never cook, but apparently i can create a christmas feast.  it will be so fun.  it is a christmas of firsts.  the first christmas without my grandpa, the first christmas with cathy as a part of our family, the first christmas at a new place (my house), it will be different, but with my family, it will be great.  

what a perfect day for a blizzard.
