2/4: snow day

With the amount of snow that we have received this winter so far, there seems to be an abundance of spare time. Time to catch up on homework. Time to clean the kitchen. Time to brush up on some over due reading. Time to sleep, and sleep some more. The snow also brings with it the opportunity to be a kid again. To play in the snow, and build snowmen and angels. I was surprised that most of my friends did not send there days doing these things. If anything, the snow was much colder and wetter then once remembered. Minutes outside felt like hours.
Unfortunately I did not have to pleasure to stay and play. The weekend for me means work, rain or snow. This time of year is especially busy for those of us that work in the chocolate business. On Saturday I left my house at 11pm. All of my roommates were watching TV. At 8 I got off, when I got back I discovered that all of my roommates were exactly where I had left them. Not only did they not move, they watched 2 whole seasons back to back of one show. It seemed even more unbelievable that my male roommate stayed and watched it the whole time. It was much more of a girl show.
So what was the reason for this. How is it that they all looked so miserable and still sat and watched the whole thing. Was there something that told them to continue to keep going, like spending all that time would have been for there benefit. And to be quite honest, I was happy. Happy not for the loss of their day, but for the reinforcement for my work. It was inspiration.
