snow day!

Today was exciting. I went to a multicultural marketing conference in St. Paul where everytime we looked outside it was whiteout conditions or not snowing at all, the guy that ran the conference (the M.C.) obviously either smokes a lot of pot or had just smoked pot, or else he thought he was a comedian with the shakes and the presentations went way longer than they were supposed to. The conference was really quite good, and I learned a lot - aside from one presenter who was clearly there to sell his agency.

At any rate, it was a good time and afterwards Sarah and I met Steve at the Liffey for a drink. Because normally, they have a kick ass happy hour. But not today, because there were the State Wrestling Tournaments going on in the Xcel Center. No happiness for them! Walking to and from the Liffey was entertaining at most, since we both had work shoes on and Fisher had no socks on. Silly girl.

After my white knuckle drive home, it was established it is officially a snow day. If you were to open our front door right now, the snow would probably come into our house. Awesome.

The best part? Feeling like a kid again, watching the scrolling school closing announcements on the news. I bet my dad is happy - no school for him tomorrow or most of the metro. But, of course, we are probably the only university in the state/metro area that is not closed yet tomorrow. All of the school districts around me are closed and we shall see what the roads are like when I get up. It may be a snow day after all. I think I feel a snow fever coming on!

Cheers.
