Today I woke up to find the world outside covered in a fluffy, shimmering blanket of freshly fallen snow. The streets were quiet and the sky was gray and glowing.
I was dressed and ready for work, squeezing in an hour of studying before I had to get on the road when my boss called and declared a national* snow day!
Saucer Sledding Champion, '09**
*only according to me.
** ditto.
Well, I changed into sweats and a baggy t-shirt and promptly sat back down at the dining table to study (so disciplined, right?)
... and alas, that is where I have remained for the past 8 hours straight....
In case you are new to the exciting world of Hailey, I am preparing to take the tests to get my real estate broker's license. I have already completed 168 hours of class-time (in 6 weeks, while working = insanity) and am scheduled for the 2.5hour test sesh next Tuesday. I am in full-blown cram-mode... and am off to a 4-hour study session with students from my class tonight until 9:30pm.
Heavens to Betsy, I'm in need of some strennnth!
Ah, but since it's Thrifty Thursday, and I am in no position to exercise my unilateral contractual agreement option (them's real estate words) let me tell you about a good friend of mine, Schmaco Schmell...
er... no comment? I plead the fifth.
Well, now I must go swap out my sweats for something more... ehhh, forget it.
I hope you are all enjoying your lovely snow day Thursday!
**Have a favorite recipe that would be perfect for Thrifty Thursdays?? I'd love to host guest-bloggers throughout the next few weeks as the dust glitter settles around here! **

So proud of you honey!! Keep up the good work... and know that I'll use this as an excuse to partake in "Schmaco Scmell" as well (it wasn't too cryptic for me to figure out... remember, I'm a nerd.) I feel a Crunch Wrap Supreme callin' me. :p
I admit after reading your post I didn't know what you were referencing--but I understand now after reading your husband's comment. (Secret: I am a recovering taco Bell addict) ; ]
And I just wanted to say that I am so surprised by all this snow! It is 80+ degrees here! That's insanity for February but I am not complaining : ]
Exciting for you, oh but you studied all day, but at least you were cozy in your sweats at HOME. that is a treat again.
that pic is so cute! Good luck on that test, I've heard it can be tough.
