Relief!
Oh, Thank God. Midterms are over and it's FINALLY spring break.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.Of minor interest (or not): After years of snorting in disdain at others who had one, I am almost ashamed to admit that thanks to weaving class and a samples notebook*, I am now the proud owner of a handy dandy hot glue gun and I have no idea how I managed to live without one for so long. It's kind of neat that it has two temperature options (high heat or low) and has a cordless option. OK, I guess I'm a crafting geek now.
Though I don't understand how I could possibly still have an appetite after reading Crazy Aunt Purl's
blog entry today, I seem to be hungry. Therefore, I am now departing the computer area to raid the fridge.
Catch y'all's later.
*If you recall, it was a class round robin with 15 looms threaded with warps for different patterns and each of us wove an 8-inch sample for ourselves (ok, a few of us got all 15 finished; most didn't because they didn't think it would take that long so they didn't come in outside of class). Those samples had to be mounted in a notebook. Hence the need for adhesive substances.

We've Been Upgraded
It's official. We are now at Level Three Snow Emergency. That means drive only if you're hoping to spend the night in jail. In some parts of the region, that might not be a bad idea, considering that 10,000 Toledo Edison customers have lost power and it's c-c-c-cold. (Not me, yet, thank GOD, I'm with a different power company but my old house might be affected.)
The University policy is, if it's Level 3, no school. Except they have not officially announced the cancellation yet. I can't see how, with the snow still coming down, we'd be downgraded quickly enough in the morning to allow for only if really necessary travel. It's supposed to keep snowing until noon. The guys came to plow out my drive. It was a wasted effort (which I'll probably be billed for) because it's all drifted over now.
This is ridiculous. Everybody and their Mother, cousin, sister, and second great-aunt twice removed has cancelled. Even
bridal shops are announcing their closings. What is up with that? Unless it's for the poor brides who
were going to get married on V-day. But the University is holding out. For what? Level 4? There IS no Level 4. Level 4 is the return of the Ice Age.
Welp, that may indeed be exactly what their criteria is, come to think of it.
Must go watch the news (again). Stay warm!
