In addition to Valentine's Day we have a SNOW DAY! I can't figure out which excites me more. I have work to do but its a whole lot more
palatable when I can do it in my
PJ pants here at home. I started the moring off with a conference call staff meeting followed by a quick lesson in the finer points of using the snow blower. I comptemplated going into the office until I turned on the TV and found the weather woman standing on the corner near my house beside ice and snow covered roads and very little traffic. G-man found out early that they would be opening at noon, as he was putting on his shoes to leave they called to say not to bother. We are all tucked safely at home, what a great mid-week treat (we'll see if I feel the same way at the end of the day).
I haven't slept well all week so I spent the time productively--making cards and mastering my Christmas present from G-man, a
Cricut machine. I also made picture frames for my Mom and sister who are coming to visit this weekend and spiffy boxes of conversation hearts for the girls' teachers. Yesterday afternoon we made cupcakes in cool heart shaped foil pans for Abby's V-Day party today (or now I guess tomorrow).
Tonight we will pull out the stops, finally using the
new dining room table. Jimmy the wonder painter has been here this week so it acutally has color on the walls as well! China, real glasses, candles--I am sure the girls will love it! Off to find a great recipe for shrimp and chocolate icing for the cake.

Well here it is near the end of the evening, and we are all still speaking to one another, more-or-less. Too bad we didn't get to eat on the dining room table, but at least going across the street to the neighbors was pleasant. :) Happy V-Day love.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day!
I could have used a day at home but I will settle for my Friday off.
Happy Valentine's Day. Snow days Rule!
Sounds like a fabulous day! What's this g-man said - you did not get to use the dining room table after all? But you partied with neighbors instead?
Love the cards - they are awesome.
What great cards!! And you made them yourself! I was thinking that machine would be great for decorations for gift bags...
oh no you didn't - you got a Cricut...I am sooooo jealous!!!!!!
