She loves her Aunt Sissy and Uncle David! (she really does love Uncle David even tho she's got that funny little expression on her face!).
OK, now on to the important issue of the day:
Why do Weathermen exist?!?!?
Is it solely to cause all Southern grocery stores to run out of bread, milk, and eggs? Is it solely to get children - and adults!- all hyped up about the storm of the century? Is it solely to close all of the local schools and make parents scramble for childcare when the streets are actually DRY?
For two days now, the local weather people have prattled on about the prime conditions for a big storm. Ice and snow and all sorts of nasty stuff. How it's been a couple of years since we've had any real winter precip and this frontal system and the jet stream and yadayada are just right for creating some major complications.
As of 11pm last night, all local school systems were closed. Thankfully, Eileen's school stayed open!
When we woke up this morning, there was barely a dusting on the ground. One local weather person talked about how the system was staying South and East of us. Another local weather person warned of the apocolypse of snow we'd see by mid-morning. How can two stations - just a couple of miles apart, presumably using the same software to "predict" the weather- be so completely opposite in what they have to say?! Bizarre.
Oh - and back to the milk/bread/eggs thing- as my boss said yesterday- what's everyone going to do? Make French Toast?!
Clearly I'm annoyed that we're not at home having a snow day. I didn't actually think my office would shut down- but a delayed opening would have been sooo nice. Oh well. What's done is done. Perhaps the forecast for Monday will be for sunny skies and tropical temps. THEN we might actually see snow.
OK, I'm done. Back to work now. Happy Thursday!
(oh- one good thing: today is the beginning of February sweeps for TV! for those of you not in the TV world - basically it means today starts a whole month of new episodes of all of your favorite shows. Can't WAIT for The Office tonight!)
