Snow in MO

The night before last we got hit by that snow storm that has been all over the news. It had been cold already, but hey, this is winter. And we already had a good amount of snow. But once again, it’s winter, people! And then the snow storm hit. Wow!

It is gorgeous; powdery and drifting. It is also dangerous. This year I have seen so much aggressive driving when the roads are bad. I don’t understand it. My rule of thumb when I’m driving on snowy or icy roads is if I have to brake right now, what will happen?  And I adjust my speed accordingly.

With all the snow hitting us I did not get to the gym yesterday morning as I had planned. So I am behind on She Wears a Red Sox Cap’s elliptical challenge this week. And I have a big family weekend coming up (the last Christmas event) with people in from out of town and there will be houseguests at multiple locations and sharing of cars to make sure everyone can get around. I am going to have to be extra extra dedicated to make sure I get up early enough to get to the gym without slowing down the holiday fun by hogging a car.

I also could not get to my Wednesday night Weight Watchers meeting. It’s the first one I have missed! I’m sure it was cancelled though, since that was the night of the big snow. I need to check the schedule and see if there’s another one I can get into today or tomorrow so I at least go to one.

How lucky am I that I have one more Christmas left? I love Christmas.
