I went to bed way too late last night.

But that turned out perfectly fine..

My phone rang about 6:30 this morning. I was informed that the school I work in would be closed. No work for me.. YAY!!

Niagara county school and most, if not all in Erie county were closed due the crazy winds and potential disaster if it snowed/rained on top of all that.

Whatever the reason.. I was excited to find out that my weeked started unexpectedly early.

After I hung up the phone I turned on the news. There is something about seeing it on the tv, that is exciting. It reminds me of the occasional "snow day" we would get as a kid.. I just couldn't go back to sleep right away!!! I then called my neice to let her know that her school was closed as well. Then I snuggled back under my covers and drifted off to sleep.

I love my work schedule.. I love that there is the possibilty of snow days (paid) and that I have time off from work every couple of months (paid). I feel spoiled, because I know this wont be the case after I move on from my position..

or will it? Anything is possible if I want it..

I enjoy, seek certain levels of responsibility in life..yet others, I dread. I mean, who really likes paying bills? It wouldnt be dreadful if my income was better, and it will..Casual roomates aren't my thing.. so that isn't an option.Yet, I do alright with what I have. My bills are always paid..yet I live sparingly, overall. I would prefer to not live pay check to pay check. But that too will change. How? when? not sure.. but it will.

And I whatever I do, I want it with lots of time off to do what I please :)

Does this mean I am not ready to 'grow up' ?

I think I have a party to go to shortly.. I doubt it has been cancelled. It starts early and I plan to be there for only a little while..

Anyone up for doing something after 9PM??????

I am open to anything

UPDATE: the party was canecelled. I got the phone call at 6:15. Weird how I had a feeling.. yet who cancels parties???
I am too late to join the peeps heading out to KB for tubing. Unless I left this very minute.

SO I am now very free to do something....

Carey :)

simple entry.. thoughts before bed:

11pm. It is freaky warm outside.

I get out of class and the temp is much warmer than when I went in.

I drive through the light rain.

I go down Lewiston Hill and I watch the lightning. [[So cool.The hill has an amazing view. It overlooks many towns in US and Canada along with the Niagara River,Lake Ontario, Toronto.. There is a house that has all of this as their view from the backyard. I would immensely enjoy (and love) the opportunity to go in their house some evening.. just to look at the view.]]

There is no place to stop on the hill..all I can do is catch a glimpse on my descent.

I pull in the driveway. I decide to check the mail box. I look up at the sky and see clouds framing the bright waning moon.

On the ground.. wet grass. Nothing that resembles winter.

Memories of bonfires.. and thoughts of adventures yet to come.

The air smells good. It is so warm. I want to go for a walk around town, but I only walk back up the driveway and go inside.

Inside, the lingering smell of murphys oil soap, from hardwood floors washed two nights ago.

I hear the wind picking up as I get ready for bed.

Sweet dreams :)

Tubing at KB sounds fun. It is mad cheap Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 5-9pm. Yee haw to sliding very quickly down a hill face first on a plastic tube. neat. Maybe I should be a big ass dork and wear my bike helmet! :) (and yes, i would totally do that!)

Friday is supposed to be wicked windy, cold and snowy. Not like I will see it in Youngstown. I am sure it will be sunny and warm, with a light breeze.

But, I am not sure if it is a go, this Friday. I have a house party on the lake to attend. Atleast, I think I do. Sometimes I can be persuaded otherwise.. However, i want to go for a couple of hours.. ha, this reminds me:

My friend gave me directions to her house. Well, she doesn't live there.. its more of a party-summer house right on the lake; they live in Buffalo. I was there before they built this really cool house. When she showed me the lot a few years ago, I couldn't imagine that it would turn out as cool as it has..it has a gorgeous view! It was just a shack before it was torn down.

Anyhow, she handed out directions to everyone, except for me. People asked in a puzzled tone of voice, "whats this about, 'turn at the motorcycle with the blow up doll on it". Heh... the party is in Wilson. I think on Harwood. Hardwood.. Harding?something that sounds like that. Doll on a motorcylce, sure.. thats sounding kind of normal to me. So, we explained..

There is a little store nearby.. and in the lot there is a motorcyle suspended up high, with a female mannequin sitting on it. There is no reason why.. it just is. The immediate area is quite a lil fishing hot spot. I have been looking at this motorcycle for years.. I pretty much forgot about it. Whoever owns the store property will dress this doll... at halloween it is in costume, but it is primarily dressed in the Wilson football team-er- school colors--cheerleader outfit. I wonder if she is dressed for this cold weather?

So getting back to the tubing, I have never done it. It seems like it would be fun. Although the last few times I went sledding, I flipped, skidded down the remainder of the hill face first.. sometimes doing backwards somersaults (sp)..aching and not laughing as much as I normally would when I wipe out..

but hey, I'll try just about anything once...
