Morning's Light

So my part of the state is waiting for the snow to fall tonight.  

Grocery stores are quite busy with customers getting last minute provisions before The Storm.
Video stores have extra customers who are stockpiling DVDs to watch while stuck at home.
Cafe employees are wondering how they'll get to work in the early A.M. and if there will be any customers tomorrow.
The roads are emptying as people rush to the warmth of their homes.

I was a video store customer tonight and found a Katie Holmes film "Pieces of April" that I wanted to see again and also the movie "The Ramen Girl" (not with Katie Holmes in it; uh oh. just realized it's sad.  it's the late Brittany Murphy in the film).  Ran into some friends so we had a cozy dinner in an almost-empty restaurant then spent the evening playing games.  I lost at every one but had oh such fun!

There will be snow when I awake. Maybe I will throw open all the blinds and just gaze out at the quiet softness.    A whole day to myself which seems quite selfish.  A day to be productive or not.  To rest or stay as busy as possible.  Not sure what the day will bring.

What would you do with an entire day to yourself at home?

I may…….
