No, I am not referring to the Ezra Jack Keats children's book...but that to which I awoke this morning.
I was snowing gently, and had only begun to stick a short time before I peeked out my blinds. I am ecstatic to say the least! It has been so very dry (as my chapped hands and nose will attest), and we had those wacky 70 degree days...and while I do feel badly for those dreaming of Spring, and wishing for warm days and sunshine, let me remind you gently IT IS JANUARY PEOPLE!!!!!! It is the MIDDLE of FREAKING WINTER! Get over it, save your pennies and plan a trip to someplace tropical...or else jack up your thermostat, install a tanning bed, and walk around in your swimsuit, drinking Mai Tais in your living room...
I am already thinking ahead to my garden, anxiously awaiting the time I can get out there and clean out the beds, apply a layer of mulch, and begin planning what veggies I'll be planting where...I'm sick that way I suppose, but that's too bad...get over it.
BB spent the better part of the morning in his shop rearranging it, and moving things again. Finished a project to the painting stage, and took measurements for 2 additional projects.
I should be stripping that darned wallpaper in my utility room, but alas, the snow has mesmerized me (it's been drifting lazily down on and off all day), the children are napping, it is warm and cozy, I have a cup of yummy coffee, and am about ready to watch something we TiVo'd as there is no football this week...what I shall do with my Sunday afternoons 3 weeks from now is beyond me...I might actually have to do something productive...
On another note, I'm going back to school.
Well, sort of...I've decided that I don't have nearly enough on my plate what with being a full-time wife, mother, chef, laundress, maid, chauffeur, nurse (today anyway), and running a Mary Kay business. So, I'm going to be doing a from-home course. I'm not telling you what it is, because I am so excited about it, I don't want any negative feedback.
I'm not saying that any of you would be negative to me, but I know that this is huge step for me, and requires more than my brain, and is, in fact, a large physical commitment as well, and will require quite a large investment of time not just during the course-work, but to market myself after the fact...
SO, please be praying that I'll not only do this course FAST, but accurately, and that I'll do a bang-up job in this new area for me...it is a passion of mine, and I believe in it strongly...I'm excited...and can hardly wait for my materials!!!
I hope this Sunday finds you well, happy, healthy, and surrounded by good friends and family!

You sound much happier and very positive today! Good on you! S
Hey babe,
Not trying to be negative..But hope it is not ashworth college or Penn Foster College..
I was stupid and went through both of those schools and thought I was being so smart..The degree wasn't worth the paper it was printed on..No one around here will accept them..And then after finding complaints all over the internet about them I felt really stupid..
Make sure it is a good acreditted college and that that certificate or degree would be accepted by any other college..
Again, I love you and don't want this to be negative sounding..Just want you to be aware, forewarned, and guard.
Whooo, new secret plans. I know, you're taking Dr.K's intro to Bible by correspondence aren't you? We really should have paid better attention the first time around instead of writing snarky notes back & forth (one of which I found in a stack of papers about 3 years ago...funny!!).
Too bad it's a computer class or I'd take you to the caf. and "buy" you a bowl of Captain Crunch with Crunch Berries and a hot chocolate to drink in class! Can we watch Fresh Prince after dinner?
OK, I'm done.
