I guess I got my wish for a Snow Day from work, really more of an Ice Day but we did have something resembling snow happening briefly this morning before it changed back to sleet or frozen rain. The last time I remember it snowing in Austin was a decade ago. It worked for the best, I needed to do some serious housecleaning of my apartment because I had guests in from Minneapolis; Cindy and her roommatte Kama. Quite a great time even if I’m no longer speaking to Cindy anymore (don’t really want to discuss it).
This time, the Ice Day was spent sleeping, staying warm and chipping off over an inch of ice from the right side of my car, blech! I had to prep my car since there was originally a delayed opening of 10 AM for work until they decided to shut down instead at 850 AM. I needed to put gas in my VW anyway so I did get a little practice on the nasty, slick roads of Pflugerville.
I was more of the torturer though. I made Somara suffer watching this show I’ve discovered on Nickeldeon called The Wonder Pets. Yes, it’s in the same vein as Dora the Explorer, a little kid show with an excessive amount of singing. However, the musical numbers and CG effects on the pictures of real animals were too amusing to ignore.
Let’s see if the weather does or doesn’t follow the forecast; more freezing rain tonight and in the morning. At least I’m not out of DVDs to watch.
BTW George and Allison love The Wonder Pets, and watch it daily.
