Snow Day

Our first snow day of the 2010-2011 school year. Boy am I glad I didn't go up to school yesterday to get ready for my sub. I get my stitches out today so I wasn't going to school today anyway. I had a few more things to do for my sub and now I don't have to do anything. I just HATE making up snow days though. Everyone thinks it is so great when teachers get a snow day but it really isn't. You can't go anywhere cause the weather and the roads are bad. And if you do go somewhere, people just give you grief cause you have the day off. I would rather just have the delay and go. Then we don't have to make it up. I still have to go to Dbq to get my stitches out. Jon is going with me cause we are going to give blood later today too. And finish all our Christmas shopping.

Finished the book The Hunger Games. Great weekend for reading cause of the snow and cold. I was right about the book. I had to keep reading to find out what happened. I definitely recommend it. Not sure if I will regift it to Adam or Tory. Now I have to get another book right away while I am in the reading mood and the weather forecast for the next 3 months is winter in Iowa.

Now what to do so I have something to show for a day at home. Couple of Christmas gifts to work on and wrap. Finalize my Christmas list. Then maybe do some cleaning. Basement, fridge and garage definitely need attention. Then if time allows, the shops uptown. Only 2 weeks left for Hickory Hill and Cranberry Hollow. I will miss them. I love just walking through them and finding cool things. And they were always great for last minute gifts. Hope Cascade gets some more shops. Thank God we still have Annie's, my favorite.
