justalurkrI just remembered that some of you know I live in Atlanta and apparently we've made the national news with our weather.
It hasn't been snow for about a day and a half, actually. It's now snow-shaped ice and hard as a rock, as I found out when I went to make sure my car still starts after sitting out since Sunday afternoon (it does.) Fortunately, my employer saw fit to invoke the business continuity plan and we've all been authorized to work from home.
I figured "yay! conference calls in jammies," but the cabin fever is getting pretty severe. I'm out of milk, out of cottage cheese and down to a single bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. Veronica will NOT surrender my poofy down jacket:
and Rodney has become The Demon in the Closet:
I return to work tomorrow. One hopes the roads stay relatively dry tonight.

I just hope it doesn't live up to the Texas old wives' tale that if snow's on the ground for three days, it's just waiting for more.
