2: how many hours I napped this afternoon!
Seriously? They couldn't have figured that out BEFORE you dragged yourself through huge drifts of snow? On the bright side, at least you didn't have to actually spend any time with those slacker students of yours! And a nap does sound heavenly...
ReplyDeleteYeah for the nap but a big fat boo for all that wasted journey!

There's nothing like a nap on a snowy afternoon. Everything is so quiet and you can get all warm and comfy for your nap. Sounds great.
ReplyDeleteWell, its a beautiful picture anyway :) Hope you got to enjoy some nice warm cocoa.
