I'm on day 7 of working 10 days straight. Because then I get a 4 day weekend. And that is awesome. Working 10 days in a row when your husband is sitting at home, taking naps, and telling you about it... not so much.

My husband is hilarious.. Today he was driving past a road driving past a road named 'Abstract'.  He called to tell me it looked pretty 'concrete' to him. Ha!

My sister is going to yoga with me on Thursday.  She can already touch her toes so I will still be the worst in class. Rock on. 

I hate it when I'm super thirsty so I drink lots of water and end up having to use the restroom 4 times at work.  Usually I go zero times.  I may have a slight phobia of public restrooms.

Cale got a letter for free plane tickets today that may or may not have been a scam.  We're not exactly sure.. the first two letters of the code were FU.  It took him three tries to spit it out to the man on the phone because we were laughing too hard.  Then the guy asked him if he was 28  .  Cale said no and got hung up on.  It was hilarious.

Side note: We have no idea what 28 has to do with anything.

I got free Panera for lunch and free Noodles for dinner. My stomach was sick for 2 hours.  It was amazing.  I'd do it tomorrow in a heart beat.

Play the game Wits and Wagers.  No lie.  So much fun.  I also found out that my husband thought the Golden Gate Bridge is 8 miles long (it is not).  I also thought that sheep outnumbered humans in New Zealand 50:1.  They do not.

Once again I need to recommit myself to no Starbucks.  This morning's excuse was I needed to break a 20 because I needed $5 for something at work (this is a true story).   Therefore I got a Starbucks... lost $5 on the drink but got a 5 dollar bill in the process. 

I found a new coffee shop (not Starbucks) to go to with my sister.  This does not break my Lenten commitment.  I promise.

I shoulder checked my office wall at work hard core today.  If you have never shoulder-checked, hip-checked, or knee-checked a inanimate object please pretend that I never said that statement.  If you have.. you completely understand how embarrassing that actually is.

P.S.  I may or may not do this on a regular basis.  I just read the book 'Still Alice".  Early onset Alzheimer's anyone?  

P.P.S. If you have any memory problems at all do not read that book.  It will make you paranoid.  i never thought I had memory problems before reading this book and now I think I should go to a Alzheimer's support group. No lie. 

P.P.S.  Feel bad for my husband.. I won't remember either way.

- Watching 'The Voice".  Whenever no one picks a singer I want to change the channel because I can't stand to see the contestants disappointment.
- I also watch 'The Bachelor'.  But only when running on a treadmill.  Running while watching trashy television justifies it.

Remember when you were little and you used to long for school to get called off because of snow?  And you parents were probably dreading it because they had to put up with crazy excited kids all day long?

I haven't had a snow day since college.  Not because we haven't had snow, but because in science, whatever you're working with is usually demanding... it doesn't stop growing when the weather is bad.  

Science can really be a diva.

So yesterday as the snow reports kept adding additional inches of snow with each passing hour, I prepared myself for the fact that the little Honda Civic may not make it through the snow this time.  Or my nerves might not make it through the little Civic powering its way through snow drifts.  And I no longer work with growing things.

Therefore, when the weather predictions were actually right I decided to take a (unpaid) snow day along with the rest of Colorado (well, except for Cale... poor guy). 

And it was awesome.

Why aren't I a teacher?  Why wasn't I smarter in my career choice?  Dang.

Regardless, I had time to watch the Today show, make some slow cooker soup, skype with my whole family (minus Jenny.. we missed you!), make chicken stir-fry, run, read, make banana nut muffins, make a mess of my kitchen, shovel for my working husband, you get the point.

But now the snow can be done.  Because I have to work tomorrow.  I don't want to take another (unpaid) snow day as much as I actually really do.

Next time the snow can come on Saturday night, or Sunday, or even Monday.  And it would be awesome.  Because watching snow from inside your warm comfy house without having to think about going anywhere is so relaxing.  (Well, I was thinking about going to Starbucks but then I probably should have gone to work, or I would have wrecked my car and had to explain that I just couldn't resist getting Starbucks... even with 2 feet of snow.)
