But winter's clearly not over. I woke up this morning thinking what time is it? I couldn't hear traffic like I normally can nor could I hear barking dogs.  It was also darker than it normally is at 5:45am. So I hit snooze.

I finally pulled myself out of bed at about 6am. I headed straight for my kitchen to make coffee. While waiting for the coffee, I had the idea I'll go look in my closet and figure out what I am going to wear to school today. I thought: hey it's cold in here. I should shut my window which I like to sleep with cracked open.

That's when I saw: snow. <!--more-->

Okay, I don't think that it's actually that much snow but it's enough. It's covering the cars, the sidewalks and the street. And it's not like it's really a surprise.

It is February and that makes it solidly winter still. And winter means snow.

So this morning, I'll dig out my favorite LL Bean wool socks, skip wearing a dress today in favor of pants and a cozy sweater and pull on the boots I've been wearing all winter. At school, I'll complain a little bit about the weather, drink a coffee (or three) and I'll dream about my up coming weekend in Velingrad.

Friday after school, I am going to Velingrad with some of the female teachers. We're going for a spa weekend. It seems like the perfect time to relax, to swim, to sit in a steam room and to soak in hot mineral waters. Maybe I'll also sneak in a massage.

While I am not so thrilled about the snow, I am really pumped up about a trip to Velingrad. But what does this mean for you? Well, I think it means that you're facing another weekend of very little happening on my blog. For the record, I've got things I want to write about but no time and yesterday I was like: hey, Carolyn, you should blog.  Then I went to bed.
