lots and lots and LOTS of snow. i was driving home at about 2:30 this afternoon, and it appeared that the snow plows had better things to do with their time besides PLOWING THE SNOW. 5th street was merely a suggestion of a street, a snowy path that i crept along. this is a big reason why I HATE SNOW.
i was surrounded by huge vehicles, SUVs and big trucks, and they were all passing me and i was just praying i wasn’t going to die.
i didn’t.
they announced school closings, and UIS CLOSED AT 4:00 PM! so, instead of a snow day, i have a snow night. a reprieve. what geat news. not that i would have gone out in the weather anyway, even though i (theoretically) live minutes from school, but it would have taken me hours in this weather.
if you’re going to my show, you need to get your ticket early. they’re $10 in advance, but $15 at the door, so it really pays to get them in advance. you can go to that link over there on the right side of the screen, the one right under the announcement about my show, and you can order them online through the arts council. or you can get them at cub’s, at schnuck’s, at at the Jewel. also more places, but that’s all i can remember right now.
buy your tickets early.
what if it snows A MILLION FEET on new year’s eve, like it’s doing right now? well, i guess it will be a very intimate show. that’s ok.
everything is fine.
just fine.
not going out of the house till morning.
MAYBE A MORNING IN APRIL OR MAY.
no class tonight. there’s a mind-boggling amount of stuff i should be doing, i need to do…but i think right now i’m going to bake some gingerbread.
because there’s FOURTEEN FEET OF SNOW ON THE GROUND. might as well have something delicious to eat.
i cook now.
ok then,
december grace.
p.s. there are almost no more days left to xmas, by the way. i started thinking about this yesterday, and i know i need to focus at least five minute’s worth of attention on what the hell i’m going to get for everybody in my family, except for the one FABULOUS PRESENT i’ve already bought.
