Didn't see one, so forgive me if there is!
I have ANOTHER snow day tomorrow. This is the 4th one in a row. I am so freaking happy! Six day weekend for the win. H is being a total hater about it, too, which is hilarious. He's just jealous that hospitals can't close down when it snows. I haven't even told him yet that I am off again tomorrow.
I fed my dog cereal this morning for breakfast, because I ran out of dog food last night and the store where I buy her food was closed. This is not the first time this has happened.
I figured out what caused my allergic reaction. I thought it was the honey but Cheerios but it was actually the Welchs fruit snacks I ate. I have hives on my hands and legs and they itch like crazy. Cortisone cream and Benadryl have been my only saving graces.
I just wrapped my white elephant gift for the holiday party tomorrow at work.
I didn't pick a unisex gift. It's a The Art of Shaving kit that I got for $10 during Sephora's BF sales. I figure I work with a lot of guys, so the likelihood of one of them picking it is high, RIGHT?
Next week is the last class of my public speaking class. I loathe public speaking, but this was the first professor that I have had that I ever really liked and also connected with really well. She and I have a lot in common and I think it helps that I am closer to her age than the other students in the class. She said to keep in touch after class is over. I don't know what she means by this. :S Randomly email her?

I'm half hoping that we get the high amounts of the 2-4 inches of snow that's called for tonight so that I get a snow day tomorrow. I took the last two days off as sick days (dog injured himself and I came down with a stomach bug) and I would love a day off when I'm feeling normal and can enjoy the day.
I completely forgot to warn my mother that some of the presents I sent were food gifts, so she put all of them under the tree. Her dogs ate one of step-dad's presents. Oops.

DD had dance class today. Usually all of the dance parents are quiet and stick to their own chairs with their phones or some other entertainment. Today there was a different parent there. She asked the group if they could imagine marrying someone you had never met. Then a whole conversation about arranged marriages began where it was like BRAND NEW INFORMATION. Then they started talking about some other stuff and I was in my head all I JUST CAN'T WITH YOU BASIC BITCHES.
I was thinking in gifs and trying to read my kindle while also throwing out a few smiles and nods so as not to be anti social. I'm destined to never have mom friends.
I'm exhausted. The baby is on some kind of napping strike and only took one nap today, and it was only 1 hour. He was absolutely miserable all day. Then I discovered that there is a leak under the kitchen sink, so that was fun to clean up. I spent like 5 hours decorating cookies and they didn't even turn out at all like I had in mind. I've been up sice 4 am and I'm just done.

Also killercupcake when I was browsing earlier today DD jumped on my lap and I scrolled to a post of yours and she gasped and said "A mad cupcake!!" Then when I started laughing hysterically she ran and hid her face.

We got our new fridge today and I love it. It's so clean and shinny LOL I can't wait to go grocery shopping tomorrow and have real food in the house again.

When my kids see my looking at this board they always ask me whose dogs/cats/kids those are.

I am finally starting Downton Abbey and in the second episode I can't get passed the new Mrs. Crawley being the mom from Shaun of the Dead. DH keeps putting on her accent and saying, "Philip..."

I'm not really an angry cupcake. Not usually, anyway.
I was also just thinking I wish you were closer because I feel like you could come hang out at my house with your daughter and she would be okay entertaining herself while we drank and watched trashy tv. I wouldn't have to worry about her sticking her finger in an electrical outlet or falling into a corner.
Yes, she is totally self sufficient like that. No joke. We would have a blast.

Yeah, you could email her, say hi on campus (don't duck behind trashcans to avoid her, lol) if you're not going to have her for another class you could even friend her on fb.

I have a student who is being snotty with me via email. He says he needs more explicit directions. Guys, all he has to do is turn an outline into a paper. What the fuck else can I say than- write this paper that you planned out already. As a fucking paper. Not an outline. I can't even. And then he's being dickish to me?! What. The. Fuck. You guys.
I'm watching House Hunters (what else? lol), and these two dudes just bought a house together. They were friends who had been renting together for awhile and decided to "quit throwing away money on rent." Suddenly, as soon as they buy the house, one of the guys proposes to his girlfriend, and she moves in. She is clearly not thrilled with the situation. So weird.
Yes, weird. And the new fiancee wears way too much eye makeup.
We froze the turkey carcass from Thanksgiving and I am making stock with it right now. My house house smells so amazing! I want Thanksgiving dinner again.

we had turkey dinner tonight. It was so good, dh wouldn't let me make stock with the carcass (ass!)
My random is that I fell four times today. I miss Vail. It is.much harder here. At least I had a nice view.
Yummm! Jealous! And tell your H he's being a dummy. Homemade turkey stock is delicious.
Are you skiing Aspen Mountain? You should go to Snowmass. I love Snowmass.
My DD is a chocolate addict. When I for home from work she pulled me to the counter and said chocolate. For a 23 month old, she sure is demanding!
I had a great day at work. I love working with the doc I'm with right now. He's brilliant. I love just listening to him talk to patients or about medical stuff.

Hell no. I am skiing snowmass and it is hard. I almost walked.down on my last run. I was defeated. The temperatures aren't helping my mental state. I am used to beaver creek and Vail, this new stuff is tough for me. I will never ski Ajax, it looks impossible.
Yeah, I'm a pretty fair weather skiier, and temperature factors into that for me. I think we may go up to Copper this weekend. I hope it's nice.
I've never skiied Vail or Beaver Creek. DH wants me to get up to those at some point.

This was community college, so I won't even be going there next semester, I am going back to a State University. It will be very impossible to have her for another class because she can't teach at the university level yet --- no PhD.
