Ok, so it's not confirmed, but I'm very nearly certain that I heard several loud and deep rolls of thunder as I was getting ready for work this morning. Regardless, it's been a nasty and strange day for weather. Indiana is supposed to be windy, but I had a dreadfully hard time walking to my car this afternoon. I was super close to walking into other cars- that had people sitting in them. That would've been embarrassing. And for those of you who are saying 'well that's not surprising, she can be a klutz', it was so windy that my car was shaking as I was simply sitting in the parking lot. So there. It was just as though I were driving down a dirt road in Michigan...
In other news...
I wrote my first letter of recommendation last month. This week the student came back to show me her acceptance letter! So incredibly proud! :)
I have more tubs of ice cream than bags of vegetables in my freezer. (I have two bags of mixed veggies.)
My Christmas tree (in my apartment) is still not decorated.
This weekend is the DMS Christmas reunion. Christmas movies, sugar cookies, and the 2nd annual ornament exchange will fill the weekend with wonderful fun and laughter.

First Snow
There were sporadic predictions of snow for the end of last week and this past weekend. Thankfully they delayed their appearance until last night and did not interfere with my Wheaton road trip weekend to see friends and family.
This morning several other teachers and I were discussing the road conditions and the dreadfully slow traffic on the way to work. I began reminiscing about the first snow we'd experience in Michigan- or at least the first true snow. Dad and I would take the Blazer out in the significantly covered subdivision roads. I would have to drive the 25 mph speed limit and then slam on the brakes when Dad instructed me to do so. It was a great time to be reminded how the vehicle handles and regain confidence in the new road conditions. Upon relaying this story to my co-workers one gal leans over and simply said "You have such a great dad. He is just amazing." Thanks dad! :)
