"snowpocalypse" is a fancy word for "blizzard"

quite frankly, i find it to be perfectly amusing when the news gets the best of otherwise rational people. i suppose they aren't as rational as i give them credit for being if they can seriously think that a snow storm predicted to bring 12-20 inches of snow would be reason to go buy up a supply of bottled water, milk and bread for the next month. i mean, it is the 21st century. it's not like that amount of snow is going to have you home bound for a month. and good thing too because people were very upset (and vocal) about their upset that the state capitol canceled legislative sessions during this snowmageddon. call me crazy, but if all the news media is calling for the snow plop of the century, other wise rational human beings are buying up grapefruit like it is their only job and something like two thirds of the country is being effected by the same storm, it's fine with me that they and their staff get a snow day. so there was a storm and there was a snow day and much to the surprise of the flamboyant news reports, we are all still here to tell the tale. maybe next time, meteorologists. in the mean time, i will continue to be amused by the panic.

i'm not going to lie, i prepared myself for the storm. and by "prepare myself" i mean i bought some dessert, diet coke and braced myself for the call that work was going to be canceled. to be fair, i assumed work was canceled before we got the official word but there was simply no way that i was going to be attempting to drive with the other commuters. this gave me the perfect chance to do one of my favorite things: sleep in on a work day with no repercussions. i can't explain why this brings me so much joy but it does. if i was oprah, i'd give it away as one of my favorite things. sleeping in on a work day and sleeping til double digit hours. truly my definition of the best way to spend a morning.

i honestly don't have much else to say that is particularly appropriate for posting online. the work day is winding to an end and i felt compelled to say something about the snowpocalypse before it was no longer fresh on my mind. i'm sure with what is expected to be -10 degree wind chills through the coming days, i'll have plenty to complain about that isn't related to the heap of snow we got the other night.
