Random Thoughts on a Tuesday

It's cold.

REALLY cold.

Yesterday, I was so cold at one point, I decided to go change into my PJs.  I put on a pair of my Long Jane pajamas from Victoria's Secret and then put sweat pants and a sweatshirt over them.  I had on a regular pair of white socks with warm fuzzy ones on top, and THEN I drank a yummy cup of warm gingerbread flavored tea.

This isn't the pair I was wearing, but I DO have this set.  :)
 

So I'm home from school today.  (Sorry, Sarah...)  Our pipes are frozen, which  means I currently have no water.  Awesome.  Good thing the potato soup I'm planning to make for dinner doesn't need water.  (I'll be sharing the recipe soon!)  On the bright side, I don't have to do the laundry like I planned.

I just watched The Grammys from Sunday night.  You know you're a blogger when you "take notes" during award shows that you want to post about.  Take a wild guess what Monday's Music Monday post will be about...

There's still time left to enter my giveaway for free ad space here on Rebekann's Random Thoughts!

What's going on with YOUR Tuesday??

Happies & Crappies

I'm not sure what happened that I didn't write posts for Wednesday and Thursday.  I knew I wanted to write something for today, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to write about.  Then I remembered that Amber co-hosts "Happies & Crappies" on Fridays.

Perfect.

Happies
~This was supposed to be our first full week back to school after Christmas break, but we had delays and a day off every day but Thursday.  (And since I'm actually writing this on Thursday night, Friday is TBD.  We'll be in a freezing rain advisory from 4 AM - 3 PM.  So it's possible that there will not be school again.  I hope.)

~I had spaghetti for dinner this week.  It is absolutely one of my favorite meals.

~I got to spend my day off on Tuesday at home with Scott since he was off of work.

~We had a game night at our friends' house on Saturday night.  We played Cranium.  It was really a lot of fun, and we plan to do one hopefully every month!

~It's supposed to "warm" up this weekend.  (Also known as temperatures in the 40s.  It's like a heat wave!)

Crappies:

~One of my best friends lost her father this week.  Please say a prayer for her and her family.

~I am SO over winter.  I travel a little over 30 minutes to work every day.  There are areas I drive through that are just awful (with or without a delayed start). 

~My day off on Tuesday wasn't actually for snow, though.  Unless you've been living in a box, you know that much of the country was in a Polar Vortex.  Then again, if you were living in a box, you'd definitely know because you'd be totally frozen.  ;-p  It was negative something or other here with windchills in the negative double digits.  Yuck.  It can totally be spring any day now.

Did you see the pictures of Niagra Falls??  It was so cold falling water was freezing!!

~It's nice to have surprise days off, but we do have to make them up.  I will not be so thrilled when I'm only left with one day off for Easter break.
