Haha, I am gleeful.   It is snowing, D.C. is meant to have 4-7 inches over the night.   My county has already cancelled school for tomorrow.

I am going to sit back, curl up on the couch with the roomie, watch some Psych, and drink a beer at 11:00 at night on a Sunday!  And like it!

  In an effort to stop sulking about STUPID POOPYHEAD BOYS who go on really FUN, EXCITING DATES with you and SEEM ALL INTERESTED and crap and then TURN INTO GIANT FLAKES AND DISAPPEAR, (*ahem*), I have decided to express in list form all good things going on in life instead.  So.  The stop-pouting-about-boys-and-cheering-self-up-list.  TADA ( Read more... )
