Snow Days 5, 6, 7

(tuesday)

Waited for snow to begin falling. It began falling. Made great use of Netflix streaming movies -- too bad the mail could not get through to bring the disk that would allow me to stream them straight to the TV via the game console. Had to rig up a monitor instead.

(wednesday)

Seriously? Did I sign up for this?



School system announces it will be closed all week. No one is surprised.

(thursday)

Dig out, again. More of the same. Days are melding together. Kids have played way too many video games. They play outside for as long as they can stand it and come inside with rosy cheeks.



My work announces it will open Friday. Huh??? Work? What's that?

Snow Day 1

(friday)

Oh, all right, I'll break my silence about the snow now that it's actually here.

Kids played video games Friday afternoon. In the evening we had lasagna and streamed a movie from Netflix, then they went off to bed excited about playing in the snow in the morning.

Late night on the front porch with a hot cup of coffee, very peaceful and quiet...

My friend gave me a gift subscription to Netflix for Christmas. I've been getting DVDs and streaming movies for two weeks. Just now I found I can stream episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000! I know what I'll be doing tonight.
