Old Man Winter

Apparently we're supposed to get hit with some winter weather on Monday. Most roads in town were pre-treated on Saturday morning; schools in the tri-county area were cancelled for Monday on Sunday around 2 p.m.; my campus announced office closings for Monday on Sunday around 8 p.m. A state agency closed!? What is the world coming to?!

Now, what are the chances that Wilmington will actually see this "weather"? I say 50/50. I don't think that I'll see anything since I live at the beach, but in town there may be some sleet/ice that shows face. Regardless, I don't plan on leaving the house on Monday. Since a Monday off is essentially an extension of the weekend, I plan to continue my weekend tradition of not leaving the house.

But if y'all do hit the roads on Monday and Tuesday, please be careful!

It's a techy Christmas!

Apparently my family thinks that I'm technologically savvy. It's not that I'm not TS, but I'm definitely not in the top percentile for TS performance if you know what I mean.

Most of my Christmas gifts involved technology - a MacBook Pro, Kindle, and Sony Blu-Ray/DVD player. Of course, I immediately became obsessed with all 3 devices.

The monstrous snowstorm that was supposed to hit the NE narrowly escaped my parents house. We only got about 2 inches, compared to the foot they were predicting the night before. THANK GOD!

Since my parents live in the middle of nowhere, I had little time to play with my technologic instruments. I did, however, have time to read 2-600 page books. I am ob-sessed with the trilogy by Stieg Larsson. (He is the author who wrote Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, etc.)

I hope you all had a great holiday with your families!
