Working is WAY cooler than a Snow Day ;)

Ha ha ha, just kidding....But here I am waiting for my patients who have braved this storm, as we wait for the next 20 inches to fall :)

First Snow Day!

Well you know it's a blizzard, if a Nurse gets off for the weather :) I can't believe that they closed down my work, but I'll take it! Today was my first official snow day ever (as an adult) and it was fun! When I used to work in the hospital as a floor nurse on the Critical Care Cardiac unit, no matter what you had to be there. There was a storm a few years ago where most of the nurses had to spend the night. Luckily it was my last shift for the week so I got to leave. Believe me, I've been there when you HAD to work no matter what.

At this job that's been the case too until this storm. This was a record breaker here in MD, and I guess that's what it took to close down our surgery center. I go back to work tomorrow, only to hear that we are in another storm warning that is supposed to bring 12-20 inches our way. Yikes.

I was supposed to start back to the gym today since I'm officially off of Prednisone! Yippee!! However I can't get to the gym, so I'll try again tomorrow :) That is, if they're even open.....

Today Scott and I ventured out for a few minutes. Thank goodness for a 4-WD SUV :) Our roads are terrible, and the highway is only open on one lane. I don't mind it though, it's so pretty, and I do love the snow. We even managed to stop and grab some good old "Mickey D's" for lunch. Can you say cabin fever ;)

So here's to a fun, relaxing, lazy, gorgeous snow day!...or shall I call it, the calm before the next storm? :)

The Shovel Surprise

This morning I found myself wide awake at about 7am. I made a pot of coffee, did the morning meds, then decided that I'd go outside and shovel out our driveway to surprise Scott. He started all the shoveling yesterday in the mounds of feet that we have here, and it was a ton of work. However most of the driveway was left undone and we have a L-O-N-G driveway, so I thought it would be nice for him to wake up and have it done :)

It was a surprise for the most part. I took Elektra outside with me, while Hooper stayed in bed with Scott. Well a certain Greyhound started to cry for his momma and sister, so he woke up Scott. While Scott searched around the house for us, kind of worried, he and Hooper finally found us outside witht the driveway finished!

It was a ton of work, but sure was great exercise for me! :) So in about an hour I had it all done, and felt like a million bucks exercise wise. I've officially thrown in the shovel until the next storm...which I hear could be Tuesday!

And we have a record breaker too!....My work is closed tomorrow!! As a Nurse I've never had a snow day in 8 years, woo hoo!!!!!!!!! Scott's off since he works for the state, but I've been jumping around the house like a little kid, I'm so stinking excited!!!!

Blizzard 2010 and Birthday cancelings

It has SNOWED all last night and most of the day today!! Infact it just stopped about an hour ago, is it crazy that I'm sad it stopped? I LOVE SNOW!!!!! The more the merrier, it's so beautiful. I've wanted a snowy winter for a few years now, and I think we're finally getting it, hooray! The only bummer about this blizzard is that we were supposed to go out tonight for myself and my cousins's 30th birthday party. Hmm we're not going anywhere, so we'll try again next week.

Overall I think we got more than 2 feet of snow today. It was so much though that the poor dogs couldn't even go outside until we dug them an area to use. I also cooked a yummy pot of Baked Potato Soup as part of our snow day and it was good. I'm so grateful that we didn't lose power, it's been very windy.

Rumor has it that we're in for another snow storm next week!? :)
