Ah, Snow

I LOVE it when it snows. It gives me a viable excuse to stay inside where it is nice and warm, in my comfy clothes and sit in my big chair and read for hours on end with a steamy cup of hot chocolate by my side. Or just sit and write. Or watch movies. Good comedies or musical masterpieces. It is so cold today, it isn't even funny. The first Saturday in a very long time that I would have had an excuse to stay indoors and I have to venture to Koebel Library for a volunteer thing. I get to go help little kids make holiday crafts for an hour. It may sound stupid, but I really secretly enjoy it. I love seeing how proud they are of themselves when their moms pick them up and they show off their goodies, then they point to me and say "And she helped me make it!" It just feels like I am doing something worthwhile. And it is actually beginning to feel like Christmas...and who knows it may be a white one.

Ashley,

First of all, thank you for your most recent comment on my blog; I value your feedback, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the class.

Second, I loved your entry on snow! I think it's great that you find such pleasure in helping out kids at the library. You sound a bit like you have the natural makings of an excellent teacher :)
