I finally dug out!

Today the weather cleared and I finally was able to get out. Cassie sent me a message on facebook and asked if I had any plans on Saturday. Of course, I didn't.

So we went to Charleston with her. One of her cheerleader buddies had a baby in CAMC Women's and Childrens hospital. So we sat in the waiting room while she visited the baby.

Then we went to the Charleston Town Center for a little bit. We had some Chic-fil-a, which was good! Then when we were on the way home...driving on the interstate...Cassie was driving and a truck in front of us slammed his brakes. Cassie barely missed hitting it...then we got plowed in the back by a Buick Skylark!!

Judging by the sound of the crash, I assumed the trunk was smushed in. Really though, there was very minimal damage to Cassie's car. We were just sitting there on the edge of the interstate. It was kinda scary. Everytime a semi drove by the car shook! This is when I snapped these photos.

After that got all straightened out we headed over to Brian & Jessica's house. We played Cassie's Wii & her Wii Fit. It was pretty cool. I liked the Wii Fit. I was pretty good at the yoga stuff, although I was TERRIBLE at the games.

On the way out of their house, I fell down their snow-covered steps. I didn't hurt myself, don't worry. I hate the snow. Its supposed to be really warm tomorrow. I hope it heats up and melts this nasty, dirty snow.

Tomorrow we are going to Jesse's brothers house to watch the Superbowl. I'll probably spend a lot of time playing with the babies :)

day 5 of my home confinement

I dont do driving in the snow. So, here I am....sitting at home. Its a good thing I like it here, huh?

Luckily I did leave the house yesterday. I went to Kroger and I went to Walmart, but that was it. The roads yesterday afternoon weren't bad at all. I still had a huge shell of ice and snow on the top of my car. I giggled like a preschooler when it slid off the top of my car and landed in the intersection. hahahaha. I still think its funny.

I really thought that we'd have school today. Mom called me early in the morning (around 5) to tell me that we were on a 2 hour delay. Ok... a 2 hour delay is ok. But then, she called me again right when I was about to get out of bed to start getting ready for school to say that school was cancelled. blah.

Well I found out yesterday that the teachers are to report now when school is cancelled. They just report 2 hours late. I know that doesn't mean substitutes because they won't pay me if students aren't there. BUT... I thought that it was a good thing since I really need to go get my stuff at the school. So, I thought I'd go over there later when the roads cleared up.

I thought WRONG... because about an hour ago a newsflash crawler came across the TV and said that Southern Putnam Co. was getting ready to get a blast of snow. Well, they weren't kidding because huge snowflakes started flying and after a few minutes we got about an inch or two of snow. Its still coming down too. It slowed a little bit now, but its still pretty steady. So, unless it stops I'll be sitting here at home again today.

I find it so hard to get motivated to do much when I'm off of work. When I work I'm up and I'm moving pretty much all day. But this week has been a sloth-fest. ICK. I'm SO sick of it. Today I'm going to find some stuff to do. I'm going to clean..... and maybe do a little crafty project..or my favorite, ORGANIZE stuff!!

i can't believe it! ANOTHER SNOW DAY??

Yeah, thats right. I was hoping that I would get to go to school today. I was hoping that we'd get a 2 hour delay. But last night... I went downstairs to get a little dessert and I left my phone upstairs. When I made it back upstairs, Jesse says, "Your mom called." I said, "Two hour delay?" and he says, "Lets just say its a good thing I'm making money now." Sheesh... another snow day!

I haven't left the house since monday afternoon and then I only went to the library and the post office! Really I haven't been anywhere since Sunday morning at church and lunch at my parents house.

Today....if the roads thaw a bit I'm going to go to the grocery store. We are out of milk, but really I just wanna get outta here! haha. My car is the only one in our apartment's lot that still has about 4 inches of snow on it.


Last night I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to say goodbye to my students at all. I was also afraid that I wouldn't be able to get my stuff done that I needed to do before their real teacher came back. But luckily, I got a call a few minutes ago from the VP at Poca. He said he needs me there on Monday!! Wahoooo! If we don't have school tomorrow (its supposed to snow MORE!) then at least I'll be there on Monday! YIPPEE!

yet....another snow day

Here I am again. Sitting at home, wasting time.

A couple weeks ago I saw this comforter at JCPenneys. I searched on www.jcp.com and found it. I really want it!! Someday I'll have a house..and maybe even some new bedroom furniture....and then I'll get this comforter set.

I love the colors in this. I would love to decorate a room using these colors. In person the blue is brighter and the orange is too. I love love love it!

Erin's New Bedroom!! (i wish)
