Snowbound (Day 2)

Song Lyric of the Day:
We need more lovin’ / We need more money, they say / Change is gonna come, like the weather / They say forever, they say / So baby, in between / Notice the blue skies / Notice the butterflies / Notice me

Today is the second day Rich, Coraline, and I are snowbound. That big snow predicted for the other day? We got a measly 1 1/2″ at our house. Now, the snow that fell Sunday night into Monday morning? That dumped 4″ on us here at our house and kept us indoors all day. Enough snow fell across Knoxville that work called a snow day for the first time in my almost five years with the company, news which had me as giddy as the kids of Knox County (who don’t have school again today) undoubtedly were, too. Other than taking care of Coraline, you know what I did all day? I napped. That’s it. (And that’s why there wasn’t a Snowbound {Day 1} post.) Took care of Miss Baby and napped under my Slanket. Pretty good day, I have to say.
As of right now, work is scheduled to open at 10:30AM today, but Rich and I can’t safely get out of our neighborhood, so we’ll be working from home. When you can’t see the road in front of your house for all the snow, live at the top of a big hill, and no one in your neighborhood has come or gone since Sunday evening, you’re pretty much stuck. (And neither the Tundra nor the Xterra has four-wheel drive.)

Rich and I get along pretty well when stuck together at home like this. However, if we can’t get out tomorrow, pay attention. If you start seeing posts here that seem to have been written in tongues (or by the pets) or photos that look like stills from Dawn of the Dead or “All work and no play make Pattie go crazy” typed over and over and over, you’ll know we’ve finally snapped and finally developed cabin fever.

*I’m going to try to post some snow pics later today, but for some reason iPhoto is not displaying the latest uploaded photos. Why? Because technology hates me, that bitch.
