I use to watch The Weather Channel every morning. It was the first thing I did every morning...turn the channel to 32...but somewhere along the line I quit cold turkey. Ever since, I have no idea what the weather will bring each day. My philosophy is to go off the weather from the day before, but that's not a very reliable strategy now, is it?
So imagine my surprise when I got a text message from the district this morning that school was cancelled due to snow! I had NO clue. It was the perfect Monday morning surprise. Usually you hear people talking and talking days before bad weather hits, but I didn't have a clue. I told Dustin it was like a magical snow fairy came and dusted the town while we were asleep. I say things as if I'm 7 year old like that quite often.

I met another famous young adult author this weekend, Kimberly Willis Holt. She's written a National Book Award winner, When Zachary Beaver Came to Town. That one is my least favorite of hers though, actually. She has also written Keeper of the Night, which I had her autograph for me. She is just an ordinary person, an ordinary mom, living in Texas, who happens to write award winning books! She was so gracious and down-to-earth...and so cute!
