Good things.

Last Friday was officially dubbed NOOK MANNING DAY. This means that I got my Nook in the mail! Jeremy bought me this fantastic e-reader for my birthday (and Vday, St. Patty's Day, Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day. He's out of luck once we get around to our anni next year, hee hee). Let me just tell you how much I love my new toy. It gets books from the air. It's the most amazing thing ever. I was a little worried about not having books anymore, but to tell you the truth, I love it so far. Reading off the screen is surprisingly easy to get used to. AND the Nook has a color touch screen, which is a nifty little bonus. Since we started book club (back in May), I've pretty much been buying a book a month, so this little gadget is going to be super handy. AND I can get periodicals. AND I can just put it in my purse and get it out and read when I'm waiting (which I do a lot... in between meetings at work and whatnot).
Listen, I've already talked about how I'm not an iPod/iPhone/iPad person. I do, however, believe I am definitely a Nook person. Officially.

Monday began what is now dubbed BLIZZARD 2010 (er, for LR, I mean). I have not been to work in FIVE DAYS. Count 'em. Five. And I have loved every lazy minute of it. The snow was very unexpected, and apparently Conway got way more than we did here even, so school has been cancelled all week. I just got the dreaded tweet that we'll be back in session tomorrow though. Sadness. Ehhh, who am I to complain? That was stinkin' awesome.
How cute it this picture of Pooty? She's watching her fish friends: Cheetarah, Jose, and Orange Blossom.
Here come the snow pictures...! One guy got stuck sideways on our street. Monday afternoon was spent by me watching people try to get up our hill and sliiiiiiiide all the way down. It would have been funnier, I suppose, if I wasn't a little worried they might hit our house. Eeek. No one did, thankfully. I have a bunch of pics of the dogs running in the snow, but they're all on my phone, and I don't know how to transfer those. Like I said, not an iPhone user. ;) So anyway, wish me luck as I make the voyage back to work tomorrow (cue sad music). I have gotten spoiled, so it shall be rough I'm sure. Ehhh, it's good for me, right?
