Snow Day

So the weather in Dallas has been a little chilly.  We haven't gotten a lot of snow, but the ice is still rather thick on the roads.  Texans tend to freak out a bit with any cold weather precipitation but add a major televised event where most of America will be watching you... oh Lord!  This Super Bowl will be showing our true colors.  Come 'on Dallas, don't screw this up!
I'm surprised Jerry hasn't installed some massive sun lamps, hovering over the city, melting everything.  I can only imagine what it feels like to not be able to control the weather, when you are able to control every single other element in your life.  Money can't buy love or good weather, ha!

Anyways, I digress.  Even with 99% of our city shut down, I was requested to come in the office for "a bit".  Sometimes it's not a positive to live so close to work.  I'm still a little bitter that everyone within a 100 mile radius was snug in their sweat pants watching movies and eating ice cream while I was in the office, working.
BUT the only good thing: Watching the winter weather from a high-rise.  I work in Uptown, just North of Downtown and a heightened view of the white roofs and quiet streets is really beautiful.  You don't quite see the details of the gray sludge or sanded sidewalks.  Just white quiet.

I get no sympathy from the hubs about working on a 'snow day' either.  The poor boy is all over Dallas AND Ft. Worth throwing parties for Adidas and Gatorade and a million other companies celebrating the football fiasco.  The parties must go on. 

I'm quite chatty today huh?
Stay warm everyone!  And watch a movie for me!
