I'm searching now for the perfect snowy day dinner recipe so I can swing by the market on my way home.
I have seen at least 3 plows come down the street outside my office.
.........And there hasn't been so much as a flake in the sky yet.
But the fact remains:
I LOVE SNOW DAYS
(especially when I don't have to drive too much in it)
(especially since I don't have to shovel)
(especially since we just got our Christmas Tree last night and are decorating it tonight and decorating a tree while it snows outside is so festive I might just scream).

Fabulous. Matt is going to be is an awesome mood tonight (commutes from Cambridge)
Wouldn't you know our flight (supposedly) gets into Boston around 6:00 tonight. Should be REAL pretty (sigh).
Well it sounds like fun to me!
I'm praying the snow doesn't start until late tonight so that I get an entire day off tomorrow. Sometimes I love working for the school district. (o:
Oh - and if you're looking for a good snowy day recipe, here it is. It's a chicken and root vegetable stew. It's a little labor intensive (due to all the chopping), but if you get the day off...ain't no thang! Plus, as an added bonus, it's totally good for you! Here it is:

Oh, Christmas tree!! I'm so jealous!!! But yeah, also looking forward to booking out of here early due to weather.
I'm psyched that I went to the store last night, so the snowy day dinner options are a'plenty.
Snow Days?! I wish L.A. had something like that...it's 52 today. Brrrr!
;)
Wooooooot! I love snowstorms! Unfortunately, I have a big experiment running so I can't leave early, even though work is closed.
I LOVE snow days! Sounds like the perfect night to decorate your tree. Be safe and enjoy your time stuck inside...just pop open a bottle of wine and you're good to go! ;o)
What a cute blog entry. Have fun decorating tonight!!
That storm had you, Adam and wine written all over it!
OMG, can I just tell you? It took me 3 hours to go 9 miles. UGH.
But outside of that, I'm with you. I love snowy days!!!
It took me 4.5 hrs to get home on Thursday (I work in Boston,live in Quincy)When I FINALLY got home my husband was at the door with a glass of wine in hand for me! Lucky you for leaving when you want, I work as a nurse at MGH and I didnt get to leave until 3:00 ( and I was one of the lucky ones!)Well enjoy this storm today, Tatum
