stonepicnicking_okapi1. We got 4 inches last night! School was cancelled for the boys today and tomorrow! They had a lot of fun.
I've nowhere to go and nothing to do so I enjoyed it (and cracked open a jigsaw puzzle because snow is definitely puzzling weather). I REALLY hate ice and it won't get above freezing all week so I will probably be inside. I did a 17 year old aerobics video with Denise Austin for cardio today. She actually said 'jazz hands' unironically.
2. I watched Cape Fear with Robert de Niro for the first time. It was too violent and sexually violent and protracted for me, but my sister lives in that area and belongs to the Cape Fear Orchid Society and I thought it might be a good prompt for a fic. Maybe even a Nero Wolf one?
3. It's been an up and down couple of weeks. I have done Yoga with Adriene every other day so far this month. Yay. I just did a really unnecessary impulse buy of collage materials. Boo. I accidentally shredded my checkbook and didn't realize it until rent was due. Boo. I went into the bank (I haven't been inside a bank in YEARS and got a cashier's check and saved the day before I got penalized). I've already finished one book for the Bingo. Yay. Working on a cross stitch too.
4. My sister cleaned out her shoe closet and sent me a giant box of shoes and I'd say 80% of them fit. I don't have or need a lot of shoes but it will be interesting to see if I use them. She also sent about half a dozen used pairs of very woolly socks (which she bought when she lived in Colorado) and the entire family was wearing them last night.

She bought them for Colorado (which is very cold and snowy in the winter) and now she lives in North Carolina (on the coast where it is much, much warmer) so I suppose she doesn't need this kind anymore. But it's like sticking your foot in a sheep.
