I like it when it snows. It muffles the sounds of the world. Everyone moves a little slower, a little quieter. It feels oddly apocalyptic, but in a good way if that makes sense. People disregard the streets and jaywalk all over because hey, when there's this much snow, anything goes.

So we have/had our first major snowstorm of winter in March. (I like it. It was like that time it randomly snowed in May.) Although I have to admit, it hasn't been snowing like it used to. For you East Coasters, remember the Blizzard of '96? That was magical. There was no school for those few days and all the kids in the neighborhood sledded up a storm. I remember having a very Calvin & Hobbes moment when I flew down the hill and went sailing through the air, faceplanting into a nearby snowdrift.

As I type, the snow is still swirling around outside. I told Mr. Boss that I was taking a snow day today and he was all, "Yeah, I'm not leaving my apartment either." Good to know we're on the same page. So what am I doing today? Sitting by my window wrapped in a blanket with a nice cup of hot chocolate (with marshmallows) and reading a book. I might pop in a DVD later and settle in for a movie.

I like it when it snows too. Have you noticed how the night seems brighter? I guess because of how the light reflects off the snow. I find it quite astonishing!







Hi, my name is Amy. Be well, and say hello!
