Ice, ice, baby!

[Tri Girl]

I'm iced in today. Woo hoo (well, not really). I'd rather be able to go outside and enjoy it, but I never turn down a day off from school. I have a whole stack of papers to grade, but I'm sitting here on the computer. I don't know who procrastinates work more: me or the 5th graders I teach.
I don't like the ice- it made my 30 min. commute 1.5 hours yesterday- but sometimes ANY precipitation is better than none when it's been as dry as its been lately.
I don't know if I'll go for a ride outside, but I'm considering heading out for a very short run with my new Yak Trax. I can't wait to try them out.
Stay safe and warm, everyone.

Seeing as I'm a hop, skip, and a jump away from Claudia, I'm iced in as well. I cancelled classes today not only because I would be slip-slidin' everywhere to get there, but all of our department stayed home today. It took me 20 minutes to drive my normal 5 minutes home last night. Nope, not venturing out.

It's been a fun day - no school work to do! (got it done yesterday before I left!!!) My boys and I have been playing on the Wii most of the day; we have a game called "Outdoor Adventures" that's pretty fun. Nothing quite like hearing two teenagers laughing and having a great time with their mom....just don't tell their friends.

I believe it's time to play again! Everyone please stay warm and safe.

Hi Lorie! I think I'm more of a hop, skip and sliiiiiiiiiiiiide from you today. That I-44 corridor looks pretty bad on radar. Fortunately, we don't have ice on the trees. It's more of an ice ball "bounce" thing and I hope it stays that way. According to weather.com, it's going to continue until tomorrow. yeesh! As long as the rain stays away and we don't lose power like we did a couple of years ago.

I remember when my kids were in school and we completely finished Donkey Kong Country during a couple of snow days. I really enjoyed those times and even took their picture next to the final screen. Wish they were here with a wii today. Instead, I'm doing their taxes.

Enjoy the wii!
