Well, today went just as scheduled. All except for the SNOW, that is. That's right, folks, we've got NO snow. None whatsoever. Those dippy weathermen were forecasting 2-6" (Channel 9) or 6-12" (Channel 7.) NONE. Not a single flake. We woke up to a sloppy, soggy, muddy world today. Not that I'm bitter or anything. I will tell you this, though--if we go another two or three days with no accumulation I'm going to bundle all of the kids up in their hats and scarves and mittens and hoof it town there to Tom Tefertiller's weather lab (really, that's his name--Katie is in love with good ole' Tom) and tell him that he promised us snow and we're not leaving until he makes good on it. Jerk.
No matter. We had a good day in spite of our lying meteorologists. I called Tammy first thing and told her to get over here and we'd just pretend it was a grand and glorious snow day. So she came and we did devotions with the kids, then sat down and watched a great chick flick (thanks for sending it, Melissa--I really liked it!), then played games for most of the afternoon. We had chowder for lunch and sipped hot cocoa. The only thing we didn't get to do was the snow angels. And snowball fight. And snowman! And snow cream!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, TOM!!!
Speaking of Tom, I was watching earlier today and he had the nerve to say that we might get a whole 3/4" of snow overnight tonight. 3/4"!!! Can you believe that?! The guy ought to be drug out to the street and shot. If that's the best he can do (which would, I concede, be better than he's done so far) he ought to invest in a snow machine. Jerk. Did I already say that? Strange. I always really liked Tom Tefertiller before today. He always seemed so nice. We even met him at Pets-Mart once several months ago. Katie insisted on talking with him and giving him several hugs. He told us to stop by the station some time to say hello and watch a newcast. We may just do that. Tomorrow. It won't be the friendly visit he was expecting, I assure you. Jerk.
James is actually in there listening to the latest hogwash. I told him I was DONE with the news. At least the weather segment. I don't even want to know what they're saying now. I just know I'm ready to take a vacation. To Siberia. But for now I'm just going to go curl up with a blanket and a book and pretend again that it's wintertime out there. *sigh* I am thankful that at least I have a decent imagination. I don't even want to think of how miserable life would be if I didn't have that much. What with no SNOW or anything.

P.S. -- I just finished sending an e-mail to Mr. Tom Tefertiller at News West 9 warning him of his upcoming visit if he doesn't deliver on his predictions. That'll teach him.
