Ice day

Couldn't properly call this a snow day, since there isn't any snow to speak of. Because of freezing rain/ice, the roads are treacherous and school has been canceled! Woo hoo! I am getting paid to stay home!
Today is a gift, though, and I'm mindful not to waste it. I will catch up on my sleep because I slept poorly last night--trying to readjust my body clock has been painful at best. D's family are a bunch of night owls and we were regularly up past midnight during the break. When you can sleep until 10 am, that's not too big a deal. But when you need to readjust to getting up at 5, it's not so much fun.

New Year's Resolutions:
1. I will watch no more than 1 hour of TV on school nights and 2 hours on weekends. This includes movies. I have been watching way too much and it is rotting my brain and eating my time.
2. I will eat a fruit or vegetable with every lunch and dinner. I know it's not quite five-a-day, but it's a step in the right direction.
3. I will spend 15 minutes a day cleaning or picking up the apartment.

The bridesmaids' dresses are ordered! Hurrah! Next up: more invitation construction, buying envelopes, and ring shopping for wedding bands.

Last year we had 2-1/2 days off for snow (back from break on Monday, off Tuesday and Wednesday, and then late start Thursday, regular day Friday) - but we had to make up the full days. We don't have extra days in our calendar for snow since we don't get too much of it here. Kinda nice to get that added break.

I hope your ice is better. We have lots of snow today, and a little ice. My roommate had a two-hour delay for his work. Not me, I was even on-time. :)

Oh, and my shipping address changed for my bridesmaid dress. How should I deal with that?

It's interesting reading the experiences a new teacher has. I retired from teaching in 1999 and have been trying to get my daughter, who is also a teacher, to start a blog sharing her teaching and life experiences, but so far, no luck. Hope you don't mind me stopping by to take a peek at your journal. It brings back memories. Cate
