So it Snowed in Chicago....

Let me tell you, readers, miracles do exist - this was the state of my car when I first saw it since Tuesday.  I guess the wind blew in my favor, or a strange good samaritan helped out (unbeknownst to me).

someone lost his shoe (next to my car's shoe)

please note - it's a one way street - if you can get around the snow

someone had the time and patience and inner warmth to have a little bit of fun in this

Snowday?

I have, for long, thought it impossible for me, in my current role/location, to get a 'snowday'.  

It appears as though there might be A CHANCE.

Wishing, and hoping, and thinking, and praying....

Some Days the Real World is Rough

Now, I personally think it's easier to be a grown up than a kid - maybe that's just me.  Anyhow, every once in a while, there'll be something I desperately miss from childhood, such as the magical wonder known as snow days.   It made winter worthwhile.  I have a feeling I'm not alone on my love of snow days - there's a facebook group that describes a snow day as 'a one day extension on life'.

However, in the real world of downtown Chicago jobs and public transportation, large snowfall only means more daily hassles and frozen feet.  Alas.  Although, at one point in my adult life, I was part of an organization (which I am most certainly not part of any more) that had a snow day, but I suppose that made sense because we were all treated like kindergartners there anyway.
