Snow(y) Days

What do you do on snow days? If today had been a school day I would have received an early morning call to stay home, but since it's a holiday I was off anyway. I'll still take it. I like snow days! We don't get too many of them here in Oregon, and my friends in Colorado would scoff at how it totally cripples us. I blame the fact that we aren't prepared with snow plows and studded tires and such things that would keep a town running during snow days. But that's part of why snow days are so fun around here, everything has to slow down, we don't know how to drive in the snow so we have to stay home with our fires blazing (if you're lucky enough to have a fire place, we are not so lucky), blankets pulled and cocoa steaming. Ok, I did none of those things. I did this (see below) on my snow day. Don't laugh. Ok, you can laugh.

Scary mask face!

It's fun to pamper yourself, even if you look like this (see above) for a while. I would be smiling because I was quite happy to have the time to treat myself to a face mask, but I literally couldn't. If you've ever had a mask, you know why :)

BUT, that's not all I did today. I also cleaned the house (don't get carried away, I didn't do everything! Hey, it's snow day I'm not supposed to be doing stuff like that. Remember the cozy blanket and cocoa scene??). I did some laundry, watched some How I Met Your Mother, fixed my painted nails that got ruined during house cleaning and now I'm thinking about catching up on some reading. Before I go, here's a perfect tree out our backyard.

love me some snow trees!
