* Snow Day *

Yes Virginia, it snows in the Frasier Valley.

This has been a ridiculously lazy day. I spent the entire morning in bed drinking coffee, eating chocolate and reading Douglas Coupland. The Lifeteamers decided that I should be spoiled for some strange reason and made me breakfast in bed. At some point midway through 'Polaroids from the Dead' I had a nap and woke up because the house was too quiet. My housemates had gone out to play in the snow. What joy.

I played in the snow last night with the crew, I crazy carpetted down the driveway (read: the huge hill) and almost got run over by Chris, Josh and Andrew who all piled onto one crazy carpet and hurtled down the hill straight for me. I can think of no better sight to put the fear of God in your heart.

I adore snow days for their sheer nostalgia. There was no placement for anyone today so we were all in the mix. It was seriously like I was an eight year old kid in Ontario waking up to the sound of bus cancellations over AM radio.

Well, I've got a staff retreat tomorrow for placement, which, despite the snow, is blissfully still occurring. Horridly early morning tomorrow. Penance, I'm sure, for my delightful sloth today.

Cheers.
