blizzard of '10

We are in the middle of a total blizzard right now! Between the snow from last Saturday & the snow we've been getting all day, we're well over 40". I didn't have classes today, and school is closed tomorrow as well. I feel like a little kid again, getting so excited about snow days! Granted, my interests have changed quite a bit... where I used to get excited about sledding all day and making snowmen, I now get excited about staying in my pajamas and reading and drinking hot tea- just relaxing. It's funny to think about how different my life is now.

Unfortunately, college-Beth should be spending her snow days doing work and writing papers and studying... I've flipped the denial switch again. Actually, it's more like avoidance. I know I have a mountain of work to do, I'm just not going near it and hoping it will disappear. Logic tells me it will not. But hey, a girl can dream, right?

I don't know where this inherent need to procrastinate comes from. I wish it was something I could easily overcome (it seems like it should be), but it's not... such is life. I'm going to go have some hot chocolate and read a book! Maybe I'll do a little studying.... haha! Who am I kidding?

If you're looking for something random and fun to do with freshly fallen snow:

Snow Ice Cream

8 cups CLEAN snow

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 t. vanilla extract

Stir, scoop, & enjoy!
