Snowflakes.

It looks like all of the Native American rain dances and sacrifices to the gods that my fellow Maryland residents have been participating in daily have finally paid off because WE HAVE SNOW.

Just when I had given up the hope of seeing snow in Maryland, it came to town. I thought I was going to have to drive through a blizzard in Virgina again to get a taste but here it is. It's almost February but, better late than never.

Yesterday's highlights included:
-Watching Ryan clean snow off of my car and remarking every few seconds about how happy I was that I purchased rainboots a few years back this was one of Ryan's highlights as well, I'm sure.
-Almost dying because I accelerated too aggressively pulling out of my neighborhood and started to lose control of Stu, my station wagon. Luckily, Stu and I survived.
-Walking two inches at a time everywhere I went, to avoid an embarassing ice slip.
-Crawling around in the dirty ice snow in my apartment complex parking lot with my iPhone flashlight app because I drove over a huge chunk of ice that scraped the bottom of Stu and I wanted to make sure that it didn't take a piece of him with it.

It was a regular Winter Wonderland.

Maybe I'm alone on this but, my favorite part about snow is knowing that it's outside and staying inside with hot tea, movies and warm blankies. I enjoy the snow a lot on the first day and occasionally like to spend some time playing in it admiring it's natural beatuy....I'm just really looking forward to a cozy weekend with the windows open and a fire going.

How are you guys doing? What are your plans for the weekend?
