Snow at the end of March? Wowzers.

I had agreed to go with a friend to Pitt for a meeting today and didn't know if we would actually make it because I heard weather forecasters saying snow was on the way. I tell ya what, only in Missouri can you wear shorts one day, and then break out the winter coats and gloves the next. Crazy stuff.

So my friend called at 8 this morning, and we agreed to go. There was not any snow on the ground, and nothing was falling from the sky so we agreed to try it. We went to Pitt and had a great time. I think I honestly enjoyed the car ride to and from better than the actual meeting. A teacher friend had backed out, and they needed someone at the last minute to go, so I did. I skipped our conference at church to go. I know, I'm such a slacker! However, it was really cool. And I managed to win a door prize at the end. I won a book for my classroom. AND it was about Gorillas! Go figure! Pitt State Gorillas, and I'm a Gorilla Alum, so that was really, really cool.

In the midst of the meeting we heard sleet hitting the windows. My friend is apparently really nervous in bad weather, and I'm really okay with it so it was okay because we balanced each other out. It was icy/snowy the way back, but not too badly. She invited me to lunch once we got back to town, and we had a great time. She dropped me off about 1-ish and I debated about what to do.

I could go to the church...but the conference was already started and I didn't want to walk in late. Not to mention snow was falling. I looked outside, and decided the couch was a better deal. So, I have not been productive at all today. I have watched two made-for-TV movies, three shows I had recorded from last week, and have surfed the web quite a bit. It has been the first really relaxing day I have given myself since I moved.

And it was great.

I need to crash. I have to be at church early tomorrow.

Later!
