family tradition

AFV

every sunday night after church my family and i sit down together and watch AFV...america's funniest videos.  it's hysterical!  we laugh at others' stupidity and pain, and it's great!  have you ever noticed that usually the dumbest and most painful videos are all starring BOYS!  why is that?  

in the bottom right corner of the picture above is our winter weather advisory.  supposedly we have some nasty weather starting tomorrow including freezing rain.  that's what caused the power outages all over tulsa in december 2007.  i definitely don't want a repeat of that!  we were without power for 4-5 days.  the first night, it was fun "roughing it" and hanging out in front of the fireplace playing scrabble in the dark.  it didn't take long for the fun to go away.  the next day, we trekked over to gina's house in jenks where they had power!

we missed a week of school during that storm, and i definitely don't want to miss any days!  yes, the break would be nice, but when you have to make up those days at the end of may, it's just not worth it!  snow days stink when there is no snow!

quote of the day:  "Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories."  ~from the movie An Affair to Remember.
