A Lazy Saturday

Today is a lazy Saturday. I have done something very close to nothing, all day. I got up early, took a shower, ate cereal for breakfast, washed and folded some clothes, and looked at Face Book and blogs. The T.V. is on the TBS station and I am on my third movie...Corrina, Corrina, The Cook Out, and now I think I Love My Wife.

It's weird seeing Steve Buscemi in something besides an Adam Sandler movie. I enjoy lazy Saturdays, because for the most part I am always stressed out and feeling 'crazy'. Sometimes I just like to reflect on the good stuff in my life, stuff that makes me happy and makes me smile... and Lazy Saturday is a good time to do that!

• Work has been going great since I became a full time, benefited employee on January 2.
• I have a wonderful circle of girlfriends and family members
• I have a good husband
• I have two wonderful daughters
• I have a decent home and a decent car
• I have a closet full of shoes and clothes
• I have a big screen tv and a laptop computer
• I have two sweet kitty cats
• I have friends and family who help with my Mama and Ed (step-dad)
• Now that I am gainfully employed, I have a few $$ in my checking account (but I'm not loaded)
• I have faith in God
• I have plenty of books and magazines to read

I am being kind of silly and also materialistic, but I can't help it. I am lazy today....and happy!

Wonderful Winter!

Last Friday morning, the weatherman was so excited he nearly peed his pants! We were expecting one to four inches of snow and all of Metro-Atlanta was waiting...almost holding its breath even.

I sat at my desk and worked away...glancing ever so often to the big plate glass windows across the back wall...watching for those first flakes. So distracted by this watching and waiting, I totally forgot to attend a meeting!

At last, after noon and after lunch time, the white stuff was seen blowing down from the skies. It didn't come down softly, but hurriedly and forcefully. All of us drones went to the windows to watch a few minutes before returning to our mountains of paperwork.

After about an hour, there was a good dusting of snow covering the cars in the parking lot and the surrounding grassy areas. But the parking lot and driveways remained clear.

At 3:00 that afternoon, people begin to feel nervous about their drives home, and some decided to use vacation time or comp time and leave early. I was one of those people, opting to hang around until 4:00 and then packing it up and leaving.

The drive home was not so bad. The traffic was thick but thankfully everyone was driving safely and I made it to Loganville without too much delay.

By the time I passed through Grayson, the ground and trees were covered with snow, and slush was forming on the roads. It truly began to look like a Winter Wonderland!

I made a stop in the grocery store to get a few things, and then carried on towards home. It's amazing how snow and ice changes the way things look, almost making you feel like you are on foreign turf. 

Here are some views of the Wonderful Winterscapes on my way home from work...
