When you reach a certain age, snow days become a thing of the past. Jobs don’t give a shit if there’s a foot of snow or if it takes you two hours to get to work. Unless you decide to play hooky, you’re not having a snow day. And even then, it’s really not the same thing. You don’t have the satisfaction of knowing that work is actually closed because of the snow, and plus you’re losing a sick day. Anyway, this rant is just to say that I wish I could have stayed home from work today and done all of the following things (in no particular order):
Watch Continuous Episodes Of My So-Called Life in Bed
What better way to spend a snow day morning then cuddled up in bed, covered with piles and piles of blankets, watching My So Called Life? Seriously, I probably have not seen My So Called Life since the 90′s and I think it’s time to start watching it again.
Drink Copious Amounts of Hot Chocolate

OK, honestly, I wouldn’t be doing this because I’m on this whole raw food kick thing right now, but if I could, I would be drinking ridiculous amounts of hot chocolate. Cups with great big marshmallows, cups with tiny little marshmallows that remind me of my childhood, peppermint hot chocolate, spicy chili hot chocolate..Yeah basically any hot chocolate I could get my hands on.
Do Some Online Window Shopping
What better day to browse the internets for random stuff you can’t afford than on a snow day? Seriously, it’s the perfect day to drop out into the magical land of the internet and find brilliantly amazing things that you cannot nor probably ever will be able to actually acquire for yourself. But, if you have a blog, you can fill it with these magical finds and tease others with these beautiful things so that you’re not alone in this. Sorry guys.
Go Outside and Actually Enjoy the Snow

I can’t remember the last time I actually enjoyed the snow. Usually, I’m cursing it as I trudge through the dark sludgy and slushy mess on the way to work, completely soaking my shoes in the process while my hypochondriac self worries that I’m going to catch some new and undiscovered disease. If I could have a snow day, I’d meet some friends and make giant snow men and ladies, have a snow ball fight, create snow angels, go sledding, etc. Do all of the things that made snow beautiful and enjoyable instead of disgusting and intolerable.
Sleep

Ok, perhaps not actually in the snow, but I’d love to get reacquainted with my dear old friend, sleep. You know the kind of sleep that goes on for hours in the morning, the kind of sleep where by the end, you aren’t even sleeping anymore, you’re just lying cozily underneath your great big blankets, surrounded by pillows, with sunlight peeking in through the curtains in the distance. The kind of snow day sleep where you wake up early in anticipation, waiting to see if school is closed and then it is! So you get right back to bed, but then wake up and watch cartoons and eat cereal or Farina (my mom makes the best Farina in the entire world). Ugh, seriously, I think we need to start a petition for snow days for adults.
