it starting snowing here in the charlotte area LONG after i went to sleep. snow where i live is a rare occurence and cause for panic attacks at walmarts and grocery stores everywhere!!!.... this was evident when i stopped at food lion with the girls on the way home from work. there was a cashier at each and every line. each register had 8-10 people waiting to check out. THERE WAS NO MILK. THERE WERE NO EGGS. it is laughable how we act in the south when there's even a THREAT of a flurry. this was around 4:30 yesterday afternoon.
so, when we woke up this morning, there now sits about 3/4 of ONE INCH of snow. and the world is pretty much shut down. our school system had only a 2 hour delay, but everything else around us is closed today. it's pouring down rain and the snow is melting. maybe it will freeze; who knows? the girls couldn't believe that there was snow, and then they were so disappointed to learn that they couldn't build a snowman. i told them we'd have to gather up all the snow in monroe to build a snowman and georgia says: "okay. i'll go get a bucket."
as i'm sitting at my desk at work, my boss calls me on my cell phone to tell me it's okay if i stay home this morning, to just come in around lunchtime. THANKS A LOT. i'm lonely in this big building all by my lonesome!
i guess i can cruise around the internet now, searching for something to make for dinner that doesn't involve frozen potatoes of some sort or spaghetti-o's. i'll take any suggestions!!! i fact, i am in need of some easy weeknight supper ideas. send them my way!!! just remember my stance on anything with mushrooms-- keep it to yourself!
happy almost weekend!
