How bout that snow?

So how bout that snow storm? Did you notice it too? It seems to be everywhere. The news keeps calling it historic and record breaking, but it doesn't seem all that different from the snow storms we used to get back in the 90's. But it has kept me out of school for three days, and out of the gym that I don't belong to. It's also kept me in the house though, and on the couch. I've just been watching movie after movie and eating straight from the cereal box. I've gone through a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Cinnamon Life in the past three days. It's great. But it's also a bit suffocating. It's driven me to the bottle though I must say. I can barely wait for it to be 5 o'clock before I can have a glass of wine or a beer. Today was the first time I could run errands so I went to Target and to the liquor store. But I don't think there is anything wrong with drinking alone, those who judge obviously have never done it. For some reason a glass of wine on the side seems to make time pass much quicker than without one. Chris was a gem and came home early last night so I was at least able to leave the house for a bit- to go to bar. All the snow had us in the skiing mood so we both dressed in long johns and fleeces to go out to the bar so we could pretend we had been on the mountain all day. Had it not been for the hicks in cowboy boots and K State attire at the bar, it really almost felt like we were in a hole in the wall ski bar in Colorado. It was half price "appeteazers" so we ordered jumbo chicken nachos, sliders, fries, gizards and a basket of fries. But I didn't care, I had been on the mountain all day working off calories so I needed to re energize. It was a bit disheartening when I talked to my dad today on my way home from picking up four bottles of wine and he asked if I'd had much physical activity lately, he even asked if I'd done the P90X video I borrowed from him a while ago. I said I'd watched it. Which is true, I put in the video yesterday and sat on the couch and watched a few of the workouts. I was going to start in on the fourth set but then I got distracted, I think it was about the time when Chris came home and told me the bar had half price appeteazers. Which would you choose? Exactly. I feel like snow days are impromptu holidays, so all the rules of the holidays are intact. So that means no working out, no eating healthy, and drinking is completely acceptable at all times of the day. It would be nice if I could have spent these impromptu holidays with someone rather than just Harlow, his sudden urge to hump my arm all of the time makes him quite unpleasant to watch movies with. I finally just started scooping spoonfuls of peanut butter into an empty yogurt cup to keep him busy for a few minutes, I do the same thing with Chris when he's bugging me.

On account of this being my third snow day at home I purchased a bottle of champagne to celebrate. So now I'm sipping a delightful little glass and watching out the window as Harlow frolicks in the snow. From the moment we got Harlow we've been letting him go outside without a leash so he learns not to run away/ (I'm lazy.) I know what you're thinking, and yes, we're "that neighbor" who lets their dog out to run as it pleases. Don't get your panties in a bunch, we still pick up his business after he does it. It's not like in Overland Park where God forbid the one time I forgot to pick up Izzy's tootsie roll sized poop it ended up back on my porch courtesy of a snatchy neighbor. I figured things are a little different here after I saw a neighbor kiddo popping a squat outside. I guess it's just a different way of life down here in the Peakeasy.
