We're likely to get anywhere from 2 to 22 inches of snow during the next 2 days. Too much. My thoughts?
- I'm prepared to hibernate. I'm reading a few books right now, I need to practice piano, and there's cooking to be done. Turkey meatloaf on Saturday, chili and buffalo chicken dip for Super Bowl Sunday.
- Speaking of Sunday, Go SAINTS. I have money riding on this game.
- Also on the schedule: researching more about our Scotland trip this summer. Plane tickets are purchased and we are in the final stages of booking transport, tours, etc.
- I am NOT studying this weekend. I have been doing that almost every weekend for a year and this weekend I'm taking a break. Oooo rah.
- Much as I love my current job, I would prefer to cook for a living. Just couldn't stand the hours.
- I've discovered (again) listening to books while I'm driving. Right now I'm halfway through "The Boleyn Inheritance," sequel to "The Other Boleyn Girl." It's awesome listening, particularly for a former history scholar.
- Also in progress: Breaking Dawn (the last of the Twilight quad), The Road (didn't see the movie), a few books on India, Scotland, Whiskey, Modoc (an elephant love story), a book on penquins, a book on seahorses, and a couple'a poetry books (including the amazing Paul Guest).
- I never had ADD as a kid but, boy, do I have it now. My attention span is 10 minutes max, and I have to have 25 things going at a time. Except conversations. And TV. Noise. I don't need that very much.
- People around here ask me if I'm REALLY a Saints fan when I'm walking around with my Number 9 jersey on. Ummmm, nah. I just decided to spend $50 on a shirt because it has a fleur-de-lis on it. But here's the real deal: I had an awesome four-day weekend in March of 2005, right before the summer Katrina hit. There were some amazing women involved, and it was a beautiful city that I didn't get to see enough of. I resolved to see more. And then, five months later, it was destroyed by Katrina. That's right about when I threw my devotion and football loyalty behind The Saints. Whatever happens, they are the winners!
Since I have to choose between the 2 teams, I'm rooting for the Saints (my daughter went to Purdue and had Drew Brees in some of her classes). I don't think they can win, but I'll be rooting for them... after all you never know, that's why they play the game and don't just declare it over by looking at stats. ;-)

I certainly hope the Saints win... I don't want to live here for the depression that will set in to EVERYONE AROUND ME if they don't.
