1. We’re on snow day 3 here today. Actually, we got more ice than snow. No school again but that’s fine with me. I think I get just as excited as the kids when they have a day off. I love being snowed in. Love it.

2. My husband was excited too – right up until he flipped the ATV and landed on his head. What did I get for Valentine’s Day? A man in pain.

3. When the kids aren’t out sledding and eating handfuls of hopefully white snow, we’ve been playing scrabble by the fire, organizing closets and snuggling up to watch American Idol. Yesterday I even cleaned out my medicine cabinet. When was the last time you did that?

4. Here is a picture of what it looks like outside my window this morning.

What does it look like where you are? Go ahead and take a picture. I’ll wait for you.

5. My red hot washer & dryer are supposed to be delivered tomorrow but I think I may have to reschedule until next week due to the ice. Damn!

6. I have a few “Best Of” posts in the works. I’m going to need your help with pictures, stories and recipes so be ready to get interactive with me!

7. Now that I finally have more time to blog again, I feel like I have lost a lot touch with many of my readers. That’s totally understandable considering what a slacker I’ve been during the last year but I can’t help noticing. My blogroll feels out of date too. Have you ever just scrapped the whole thing and started over?

8. It’s that time of year again – BOB time. Have you nominated your favorite blog? Have you been nominated? Do tell.

9. As I type this, I’m wondering if my jazzercise class will be cancelled today. I’m supposed to be teaching half of the class. I really need the practice because in just two very short weeks, I’m going to be totally on my own.

10. My friend laughed at me when I told her I was nervous about teaching. She said, “You? Stage fright? Yeah, right.” But it’s true. It scares me to death. Last time my legs shook so bad I looked like I had a palsy.

11. I need to get over it…and fast. My cousin said that I was “made of something stronger than her” to instruct. I told her that at this point it was a personal challenge. I know I suck right now. I’ve accepted that. Now, I’m determined to get better and make up for sucking. Make sense? How do you deal with stage fright?

12. Speaking of my cousin, she started a new blog about life in Okinawa with kids. I think it’s very cool – just like her. It’s called Okimamas & Papas. How cute is that?

13. The lovely Lindsay and I are holding the February Perfect Post Awards on Thursday, March 1st. This edition marks our one year anniversary of spreading the bloggy goodness. Hope you’ll come by to celebrate with us and as always read some of the best stuff written this month. Haven’t heard of The Original Perfect Post Awards? Check us out.
