Snowy Saturday

The snow looks pretty when the sun's shining and you don't have to go anywhere:

The view from our living room

I was supposed to attend a women's Christmas brunch at Sue's church this morning but yesterday it was postponed to next Saturday, December 14th due to the weather. I think it was a good call. It would be so sad to have everyone's time and money wasted on the food and decorations when it's likely people will skip it because of the weather. Today's high was 19 degrees!!!!

We stayed inside during the day and watched Bedlam, a college football game between the two biggest rivals in the South - University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University. I am not exempt from this rivalry! We watched the game which was intense and frustrating. We were rooting for Jon's alma mater Oklahoma State. OSU were winning during the 3rd and 4th quarters, but in the final 45 seconds (yes, really) OU scored 2 touchdowns giving them a runaway lead and winning them the game. To add insult to injury, it was a home game for OSU.

I kept warm with my zebra feet while watching the game - thanks Mamma

In the evening we decided to brave the roads and head for a date night dinner at Pei Wei. Our apartment complex was terrible, you'd think for a privately rented apartment block they'd use some of rent money to clear and salt the parking lot and sidewalks - no. The whole parking lot was an ice rink, I slipped twice just walking to my dang car. Even the stairs to apartment block were pure snow and ice. 

We drove out of the apartment complex, rethinking our decision to go out, but when we got to the main roads they were completely clear. We drove over to Pei Wei and had a delicious dinner. (Their parking lot was not much better than ours). We made our way back home and watched Elf, followed by a little more football. It was very cozy:
