Snow Day!

Hey, you.

Thanks for the pics - I love the three vases; what is in them? I can't see the picture close up enough. The metallic boxes I bought at Costco a few years ago -a total of eleven stack inside of each other. They sit on the right hand side of my couch (under the palm tree) and then I have a little stack near the front door too. Super easy decor!

I have only a few minutes this morning - our first snow day! Turns out it's not that bad out there; there really isn't much snow at all and the temps are higher than they've been in days. The weather report says it's supposed to get colder and snow more this afternoon, but we'll see. They haven't been too accurate so far.

I'm having lunch with J's assistant today. I'm going to help her evaluate written tests (for job applicants), which I've done a lot before. We're going to redesign the rubric though, so we thought we'd throw a little Chinese food in there. Then I'm off to pick up my friend's daughter to take her to the orthodontist. Mom and Dad both had to work today so I offered to get her there. This is the sister of JJ's friend, B, of whom I believe I've written before. Their parents went through a divorce last year due to Dad's crack problem; he spent some months in rehab and is now clean. B had a lot of difficulty with anxiety during all of it and wouldn't/couldn't stay anywhere but home, with his mother or sister. Except here, which no one really can figure out why. He loves it here; he loves me, he can even spend the night (or two) without a hitch. Over the past year, he has been with us a lot, as his mom went back to school and now works full time; but both of his parents reciprocate to the point that it's worked out really well for all of us.

Ok, don't know why I wrote all that, but now I have to go. I'll write more later!
