Ice Storm, 2007

I KNOW that the news stations are loving the storm/Valentine's Day combination. I can imagine countless news anchors saying things like, "On this icy Valentine's Day, snuggle up and stay warm with the one you love."

We got a snow day---yay! I personally think the work week should consist of a Monday/Tuesday combo, Wednesday off, and Thursday/Friday combo. I detest Wednesdays.

John still had to work today and that's ok. I'm really not into the whole Valentine's Day thing. The past two years we've gone out to eat at Indian restaurants for Valentine's Day...we never make reservations and V-Day is when restaurants are crazy-crowded, so we started this Indian food tradition. There are so many Indian restaurants in the Parsippany area and it doesnt seem like the type of cuisine people are jonesin' for on V-day.

Have done absolutely nothing today, and I guess that's what snow days are all about. I always try to get into this snow day mindset where I will accomplish things---clean the apartment, do laundry, get reading done [whether leisure or school-related]...that never seems to happen. I have been doing dishes in between commercial breaks though--- a semi-accomplishment.

Now I have officially reached a low point in my snow day-- am watching Lifetime Channel. There's this Lifetime movie on called Valentine's Carol. It's a Valentine's version of Christmas Carol. The first hour was actually tolerable; now I simply have it on in the background. Also watched How to Make an American Quilt...either on We channel or Lifetime. I like that movie-- I had forgotten that so many well-known actors were in it.

It's so amazing how a day full of doing nothing can pass by so quickly. If you're watching movies, most are at least 90 minutes long...after a few movies, your day has already passed by you. Might trek out of the apartment later...maybe.

What amazes me is just how slow the typical work week is and how fast vacations go by. I would love to have a vacation feel as long as the work week.
