Pretending I work really hard everyday as a real life teacher, I am going to generate the same enthusiasm an everyday teacher feels when they get the call that school has been cancelled because of a snow day. And today is that day! SNOW DAY! What is unfortunate is that I am not a real teacher so I actually haven't worked all week and I have no real teacher friends that I could hang out with. Well, except my mom and my brother. Maybe I should give them a call. So honestly, this is just another day at home where I give myself the old "its too cold to go outside but I should just get over it because I live in Colorado and I can't be a big willy so now I should feel guilty about not getting things done" thought process. So here I am on another non-working day with little motivation to go out into what you see in that picture. Maybe my motivation will really strike up if I make a list. Lists always perk me up, so here goes.Things to do during a snow day:
1. If you had to work the beginning of the week then you can celebrate the fact that you are not working today
2. Go back to sleep until at least lunch time
3. Make a big, warm breakfast with a nice hot drink
4. Catch up on some terrible daytime TV
5. Clean around your abode
6. Blog a little
7. Check your bank account and realize you probably should stay in because going out would just cause you to spend money you don't have
8. Think about going to the gym
9. Wish your friends would ditch work
10. Try to see who isn't working so you can figure out something
11. Realize there is really no one not working and even if they aren't you would have to go into that wintery not-so wonderland
12. Call your mom
13. Call your grandma
14. Make a dance video from one of today's hottest jams
15. Read through old journals
16. Watch the travel channel for way too long
17. Look at old pictures
18. Think about the good old days
19. Think about what to do this weekend
20. Check the weather
21. Watch the Food Network
22. Call some friends
23. Take a nap
24. Watch some YouTube videos from Lord of the Dance
25. Take a stab at being your very own Lord of the Dance
26. Watch a million Sex and the City episodes you've already seen
27. Paint your nails
28. Do some sit-ups
29. Try your hand at yoga
30. Decide that maybe you yoga isn't really your thing
31. Realize you've really done a good job of wasting time and now the day is over
32. Go to bed.

34. Eat Chipotle

36. Decide that snow days are overrated and take a job with bratty middle schoolers for the last two days of the week.**
