snow day came with news

i know i said i wouldn't post, but i'm so excited i have to tell everyone this.
i know you sweet, naive californians have heard rumors about faraway lands that get so much snow that they have to close schools and the little children get to stay home and play for one more day of the weekend. they are not myths, they are true; and i get to stay home from work today to sew and read and write while the beautiful snow drifts around outside. so i am drinking tea and doing very many wonderful things while the white world outside lies quietly and snugly, reminding me what a relaxing thing it is to be nestled inside. enjoy your warm sunny weather today as you go to work and school, and remember me as i'm getting paid to stay home and enrich myself.

and i know you're eager to know, mary; i just got a letter in the mail and DU accepted me. i have to call them and tell them by april 1st. i don't know how that's fair. so i guess we'll know what i'll do in the next couple of weeks, eh?
