Snow Days

It's been Michigan weather here lately, cold and even some snowy days. It's interesting how much the snow doesn't bother me as much because I know it won't last for very long. When it snows here, people react much differently then people in Michigan. Anything under 6 inches doesn't hardly even faze us in Michigan, that's just life from November to April. Here, everything shut down! K-mart closed, Bed Bath and Beyond closed - at like 4 in the afternoon! It takes a HUGE storm in Michigan to close down everything early like that. So last week Thursday, in came a blizzard and everyone holed up in their homes. I trekked over to Corb's house where we all huddled together making food, playing games and enjoying the warmth of inside and friendship and some laughs from The Office at night. It was a great snow day and I rather like how everything closes down here and you get an excuse to act like a little kid again.

My days over the past 2 weeks have been filled with learning a new job as I got hired in the fine china department and as a bridal consultant part-time at Bed, Bath and Beyond - further to be called from this point forward BBB. :) I have learned about pillows and gussets and Wedgwood and Cuisinart and humidifers and cashiering on a complicated system and customer service and greeting EVERYONE! So much so that when I walk out to my car on my lunch break, I almost feel compelled to greet people that are getting out of their cars! It's a problem. :) I like it though, it's fun work, it's busy and it's getting out of the house and making some money!

I've also enjoyed watching the moods of the mountains. I'm inspired to capture some pictures as the look changes with snow and the lighting of the day - a blog to come I'm sure! Maybe even a coffee table book someday. Wouldn't that be a great name for a coffee table book?? "The Many Moods of the Mountains". Hmm.... maybe someday.
