Zesty Nerd: Pretend

Let's pretend it's last Friday... because that's when this picture-happy post was written, and has since sat lonely waiting to be posted.

So the "getting snowed in" part was a little bit of an exaggeration, but we did get 6 inches or so, and I was more than happy to have nowhere to go this morning. Instead I watched the Today show with oatmeal and a coffee. The oatmeal didn't last long though.... gosh how I love breakfast.

After I was all fueled up, it was time to head out in the tundra known as my front yard. Step one, put on a hat and wool socks with your tank and shorts. It's totally appropriate attire for single digit temps.

Step two, cover up your workout gear and 99.9% of your body with a snowsuit. Beanie on top optional.

Step three, start shoveling. Don't be deceived by the areas cleared by the bone-chilling wind, there really was 6 inches everywhere else!

And soon enough, it looked like this...

Then I pulled my poor frozen car into the garage to thaw out. Note to self: next house needs a TWO car garage!

Then it was time to get all prettied up to go apply for jobs. I didn't think finding a little part-time job would be such a lengthy process... thankfully I only want a job and don't necessarily need one.

I passed this cute little Greek place on my way and was so excited to see a "now open" sign out front. I've been hoping for months that the paper-covered windows meant they were opening soon and not recently shut down. I was right- can't wait to try it!
