SNOW DAY!

Today was pretty awesome because not only did it snow (before Thanksgiving too! Looking forward to a white Christmas), but UW also decided to close campus. In fact, we just got word that it'll be closed tomorrow (Wed) as well, so I don't have to worry about my clinic, yay! *does happy dance* I don't care how old I am, snow days will always make me giddy as a school girl. To make things even better, baby C came home after graduating from basic training. To celebrate, dad treated us to rodizo lunch at the Ipanema Grill. Nothing to fight off the cold like warm, lightly charred hunks of meat served freshly sliced tableside, yummm.

During my trek downtown, I also managed to visit some old friends at the market, stock up on bulk spices, and pick up new jars to store said spices, so now my cabinet is occupied by more than just peanut butter, salt, pepper, and vanilla extract (what? I like to bake...).

The only downside really was that CL was sick, and being cooped up together in my little apartment, it was inevitable that I got sick too. Plus, I did dance around in the snow last night, so I suppose I could've gotten sick from that... but actually, due to my dancing in the snow, my upstairs neighbors saw me out their window and invited me up for some warm cookies and a cold beer, it was quite cozy. And speaking of cookies... now that I don't have school, I may just bake a batch of my own. I was thinking of staying up, knitting little snowmen into the wee hours anyway. How lovely would it be to have cookies baking in the oven, sitting on the couch knitting while watching "Pride & Prejudice" on the color-box?
