The Oklahoma Blizzard Of '09

Saturday was a snow day! You might have noticed.

That stuff came down fast, too. Morning... nothing. Early afternoon, 7 inches.

I wanted to go and goof around in the snow a bit. But I didn't want to drag out my heavy coat. Instead, I wound up going outside in my jacket and sandals.

I heard that some parts of our town got 9 inches of snow. I'm actually a little jealous.

Yeah, you read that right. Injured. I've been reading the "Otherland" series of books by Tad Williams. The end of the last book was so good that I didn't move for a solid hour. The book is over 900 pages, and I'd been holding it in my left hand the whole time. Not my brightest moment.

My arm was sore for most of the rest of the day. *sigh*

It was totally worth it, though. :)
