I was going to blog about my Wednesday night but that pales in comparion to snowball fights, snow angels and snowmen. Doesn’t it? I mean, really. Especially here in North Texas. We haven’t seen a “blizzard” like this so late in the year for about 30 years. The last one that was like this, that I remember anyway, was when I was a kid.

The sleet and freezing rain wasn’t supposed to be here until Thursday night. But it decided to show up early to the party. The freezing precip started early in the day Thursday and continued until about 6 pm. It snowed! I think we got about four inches. I mean that’s really something! The roads were more slushy than icy but since the temps are freezing overnight, I’d imagine they’ll be a nice solid sheet of ice by rush hour. Hoo.Ray.

Anyway. I left work at 3:15 and headed home. I got my sweetie boy and we were home by just after 4. We played in the snow. Had a snowball fight, made a very bad snowman and he made a snow angels. He was cold and wet by the time I could coax him inside. But we had SO much fun!

The snowflakes were huge–about the size of a silver dollar. While we were outside, it was really coming down. The temp didn’t seem that cold yet, it was still in the upper 30s. By the time the sun went down though, it got COLD.

This is really odd for this time of year. We usually have our freezes in January and February. By March, it’s warming up and we’re in short sleeve t-shirts and light jackets instead of snow boots and heavy coats. Weird.

But that’s Texas for you. Unpredicable weather. I’m willing to bet by the end of the month, we’ll be seeing tornados. That’s what we expect this time of year - severe weather, now snow. hehe

Anyway… here are a few pics I took in the front and back of the house. Enjoy!

I couldn’t stand it another second! I cleaned off my desk and other surfaces that were totally cluttered in my office. It’s a nice start for 2008. I organized. I trashed stuff I didn’t need anymore. Now all I have to do is some filing and TADA - organized office!

We’ve had a busy last few days. Christmas was good! And my Sweetie Boy got everything he wanted - and then some! I bought him a Batman bathrobe and he loves it. He wanted to sleep in it last night. hehe

And as for me - I got the biggest bottle of perfume known to mankind for Christmas from my honey. That along with a very nice gift set from Bath & Body Works (Sweet Pea - the best stuff on the planet!) so’s I can smell good for my man. Think he’s trying to tell me he wants me to smell delightful for him?

My mommy came to visit, too, for a couple of days over the holiday. We had a nice time and mostly stayed home. I took my niece shoe shopping and she LOVED it. She bought three pairs of shoes and a hat and spent all her money. She was so cute in the store (she’s 11) running from pair to pair with the Inward Sucky Noise. I think she got the Shoe Gene from me. hehe

We also played Sorry! and Clue and the Wii. And I set up the Battleground game for the baby boy, too, and he played and played with that for several hours. I like when he entertains himself like that. I can get lots done that I need to (i.e., clean the office!).

And let’s see…I think I’ll be taking down all the Christmas stuff this weekend because now that Christmas is over, I’m ready for my house to be back to normal again.

Hard to believe 2008 is just around the corner. My how time has flown!
