snow storm?

I think one of my favorite things about my home town is that if we get even so much as an inch of snow...the whole town shuts down.  Schools close, roads empty, and people flee to the safety of their homes.   It's beautiful really.  I'm sure some think that we're wimps...but I have no complaints with getting school/work off for a day or two or however many days the "danger" lasts!  

   I spent most of yesterday in the house sewing with a single break to take a walk out in the snow to the nearest coffee shop for a much needed latte.  It was nice.   You know how different times of life have different music...well the "soundtrack" for my break so far would hands down be Blitzen Trapper.  The song Furr has been the perfect match for these quiet snow landscaped days.  Lately, I've realized how much I need a break.  

  I've been home 3 days and have yet to read a book...do you realize how sad this is?!  It's because i've had so many thoughts and ideas whirling around in my head.  For the first time in a long while, I have the time to write...(and i don't mean on this blog)..i can sit down and start letting all the stories in my head a chance to make their debut on paper.  For some reason, as long as there's still ideas in my head, I can't seem to focus on a book.   Which is so sad...I've been waiting through finals for a chance to read the books piled up waiting for me.   .  . ready for the list:

• 1984
• the essential Rumi
• Edna St. Vincent Millay poetry
• Invisible Man
• Slam
• The Seven Wonders of Sassafrass Springs
• Purity of Heart...(kierkegaard)...which i have looked everywhere for here but cannot find :(
• For Whom the Bell Tolls

  ...and so many more...i have a serious book addiction.  Okay, 1984 is calling my name..I'm only two chapters in to it and it's reminding me of Fahrenheit 451..which is an amazing book..so i'm super excited to read it....

(yes..i realize i just overly-revealed my high degree of nerdy-ness...i apologize)

hasta pasta!
