A Snowy Start to the New Year

SNOW DAY!! Well, it is for Brad anyway. I'm so glad that he could stay home with me today. Monday is my usual day off, so it's just another Monday to me. Except for all of the beautiful white snow out there, of course! We have gotten about 3 inches so far, and we are supposed to get another inch sometime tonight or in the morning. It's so pretty to look at, but Brad and I have kind of wimped out on this snow day. We got up, made some nice warm beverages...coffee for Brad and hot chocolate for me, Brad built a fire in the fireplace, and we enjoyed the snow from the inside of our nice warm house. I am usually all about playing in the snow like an 8 year old, but I just wasn't feeling it today.

We did venture out on the roads a little. And they actually weren't bad at all, a little slushy, but not bad. I'm sure that all of the slush will all freeze over again tonight and make for a slippery drive to work tomorrow, but I'm really hoping that it won't! Anyhow, we had to get out and pick up a few things at Target and PetCo....yes, PetCo. You may be wondering why we had to go to PetCo since we lost both of our sweet animals last year?? Well, the quiet house that we have had for the past few months won't be quiet for much longer!! We are going to pick up our new puppy on Wednesday...weather permitting!! So, we had to stock up on some puppy treats and a couple of new toys for our sweet new girl. We are both SO excited!! I am going to wait until Wednesday to post pics of her or reveal what kind of puppy we are getting. I will say that she is going to be much bigger than our Dixie girl that we were used to...  Yay! We can't wait!!

As for the rest of this snow day, I'm already back in my pjs, snuggled up in a blanket and ready for another hot chocolate. I've got a good book to read, and we have a few movies to pick from. So, our lazy snow day continues...gotta love it!!
