sNOw day

It's February 4th and we were expecting the "blizzard of the century" here in Houston--1-3 inches!  Which may not be a lot in other parts of the country, but enough for us to get excited about here in the land of 108 degree summers.  Many schools were either canceled or let out early to allow people to "hunker down"--we worked through the day yesterday and made it home with no problems.  School and work around the city were canceled today for many.  We eagerly awaited the snow storm that was supposed to blow in last night.  We hyped it up with Katherine and talked about what we would do in the snow.  What-a-disappointment!  No snow--not even a light dusting on the lawn.  Apparently, there was a lot of ice on the road, so it was a good thing that many people stayed home, but that left us with a day indoors with no white stuff.  Katherine and I made snowman pancakes today to assuage the disappointment--for both of us.  It was a great off never the less--I will NEVER complain about an unexpected day off!  I got a bunch of laundry done, watched a few episodes of Matlock, snuggled with my darling hubby and even got a nap in. It was a FANTASTIC way to spend a Friday.
