Snow day.

I love snow. Here in Indiana we are experiencing a blizzard of sorts, or at least more of a blizzard than I have ever seen.

It's kind of funny really. You would think that people here in the mid-west would be used to snow in large amounts, but the Kroger shelves would indicate otherwise. They are nearly empty, due to everyone getting ready to hunker down with copious amounts of bread in order to survive the sub-zero temperatures set to hit Indy tomorrow morning.

For Monday: temps up to fifteen below : wind chill in the negative FORTIES!

Me? I prefer to just drink copious amounts of coffee, read books, plan some lessons, and snuggle up to the quiet comfort of the falling snow outside in our winter wonderland.

Oh, and while I remain inside in an effort to keep my slight cold/sore throat combo from becoming a full blown laryngitis situation, my roommate is outside building a tropical snow(wo)man to keep us dreaming of the sun and warmer days.

Friday: Snow + Blogs



Profound realization of the day: snow just makes everything look so cute!

I'm thankful for living in the South, where even a light dusting of snow is cause for a cozy/stay inside/drink coffee/make muffins/read kind of day.

I have recently become a huge fan of Google Reader - one of Google's many ingenious ideas that allows you to compile all of the blogs that you follow into one place. Every time a blogger posts something new, this site lets you know and you can read it right there on your Google Reader homepage! Such a great idea.

Since I have rediscovered what is now my new favorite website, you can be sure that I have done my fair share of blog-reading this week.

Here are my 5 favorite posts of the week - some on the lighter side, some on the more intense side:

+ 113 Books To Read In 2013
+ I was wrong...I DO need Jesus
+ Five Promises for Your Bible Reading and Prayer
+ Raise Your Hand If You Agree
+ Shed a Little Light

Happy reading + snow day!
