Snoooowwww Dayyyy!!!!

It's been called "the storm of the decade" here in good ol' South Carolina.

Everybody keeps guestimating at the number of inches of snow we've received down here in the dirty South, but one thing's for sure, it's the most I've EVER seen in Greenville. As a kid being interviewed on the news yesterday afternoon said, "I went out thar when I woke up this mornin' and I liked tah froze my butt owff." That, friends, is exactly how snow is treated here below the Mason-Dixon. Our rear ends just aren't acclimated to temperatures below 40.

"Excuse me, Mom, I'd appreciate some privacy while I relieve myself."

I got woken up at about 6:10 yesterday morning by LH doing her mommy duties and telling me I should call work and tell them I'm not coming in because I can't drive on the roads. Why that was necessary at 6 am, I'll never know. Needless to say, I called work at 7 and was told we were closed for the day. Schwwwwiiiinnnngggg!!!!!! I then proceeded to talk to my mom for about 45 minutes (at the crack of dawn), and by that time, going back to sleep was totally out of the picture. I had laundry washed and folded, yoga done, lunch made, shower taken and house cleaned by about 12:30. I felt like a hero.

The boy came and rescued me about 1:30 so I would have some company, which was a good thing, because after lunch I started getting a little panicky thinking that I was going to be stranded all alone for weeks and end up writing eerie poetry about solitude and invisible friends that played in the snow with me.

Hey Caralee, you want us to come get you?

Eh, sure. Me and Valerie were about to change into our ski bibs and build a snowman.

Ummm who?

No one. Nevermind. I probably need keep some actual real-person company for a while. Come save me, please?

Yeah. Okay. We only have room for one other person in the car though, so no made-up friends allowed. 

Fine. Rude.

I'm even making him crazy.

Last night consisted of snuggling by the fire, having snowball fights, watching The Bachelor (omg the girl with vampire fangs, weeeiiirddd!!) and eating. Because for some reason the snow makes me snacky. Probably not the best thing for my "lose 5 pounds before WF's wedding" plan. It's a good thing I did that yoga yesterday.

Our first snowman! I told him it was a milestone...also, don't make fun of the snowman.
We live in SC, we don't practice snowman building often.

AC always looks pretty. Me on the other hand?
Why did anyone allow me to make that face?

I like this picture. 'Twas a great day. :)
