Although I can work from home, I took a snow day today. We're supposed to get 10-12" of snow in the city, so I decided to just call in (because I don't have my new project yet anyway) and snuggle in. A good day just to get the laundry done, bake and do things like that, dontcha think?
By the way - I'm starting to compile the list from my poll below - it's quite interesting so far.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Snow??? :-) Btw, I sent you an email, so you can look out for it.
Snow? It's a sunny 63* here! :^D
Sounds like fun! It's 85 degrees and sunny here!
Snow?! This late in April? It's HOT here is So Cal. Supposed to be in the 90's tomorrow.
It's chilly and nasty and pouring rain here, it's yucky but we needed it! Hope you enjoy your day and the weekend ahead!
Snow? DAMN! It is in the 60's here in NY & tomorrow should be 70!
Bout friggin time if you ask me, but I think after the weekend it is supposed to be shitty again ... If it snowed here on LI at the end of April I would certainly look up to see if pigs were flying overhead!
Snow...ick! I thought it was only us losers in MI that got snow in April. My condolences...sorry!
Snow in April? Hope you had a great day at home today.
It's so funny the reaction you're getting from everyone over snow in April. I'm sure in CO it's about the same as in UT where we've had snow well into May and in the mountains until July. We've had snow the last three days here too.
It's so hard for my kids to understand why they can't go play outside when the day before was 75 degrees
Snow???
And I was complaining, yes, that's right, grousing about it being too hot already at 74...damned Minnesota without any kind of in-betweens...
I love snow. I'm jealous.
XO

Fuck me!!!! That sucks, Nancy.
It was gorgeous here today, well above 70. Yesterday was the first time it hit 70 since November 4th. I took a 1/2 day today to enjoy this sunshine!
Hi Nancy. This is Kevin, Kariannes dad. So much for the pounding we were supposed to get here in the springs! Karianne called to see if I was snow bopund and I had to tell her we got diddly ! Thank god, I hate to freakin shovel !
Sorry about the spelling. Fat fingers.
Really? Snow? We are finally getting Spring weather on the East Coast.
Thanks for your comments, they really make me happy :)
We hit almost 70 today. You can keep your snow (but can I have some next winter).
Not the latest case of snow I've ever seen though. It snowed in JUNE in MT, 8 yrs ago. It was the year we got married, gorgeous weather for my May wedding, then 4-6" about a month later!
