24 going on 2 (Feb 1, 2008)

Just for fun… the first thing I thought when I woke up this morning was "Yes, Schools cancelled!!!!" I didn't do the traditional dance that came so naturally as a kid. Even though there is no part of me that is still in school, I wanted to experience the PURE JOY I used to on 'snow days'. It's true, I still play pretend… it's more fun than waking up griping about not wanting to go to work… which is exactly what my brother was doing.

Now days I have my "Big Girl Job" that could only be 'cancelled' if there was no power. But that didn't stop me from taking my sweet time cleaning off my car and rolling in the snow with my overjoyed puppy. (Snow is like Cocaine to him, he sniffs the hell out of it and he's totally trippin' on happiness)

I've been in this "survival" mode for the past couple years, living a miserable life ruled by responsibility and necessity. (I only used the word miserable for dramatic effect, I'm too laid back to be truly miserable)

More recently I've decided it's playtime, and I've reverted back to the mental state of a child … (some of you may think I was already there… ohhhhh, but it's even better now) …..the simple life is the only way to go.

I've decided to rediscover the nooks and crannies of the world … I could always use a buddy if anyone wants to come … and I'd love an invite if you're playing already.

So who wants to Build a Snowman with me???????
