"Please excuse the tardiness of this post. I&amp;#039;ve been a bit busy today. This was the view out my front door this morning:    You&amp;#039;ll notice I said &amp;quot;the view&amp;#039; and not &amp;quot;This is what I found when I stepped out my front door.&amp;quot; That&amp;#039;s because I couldn&amp;#039;t open my front door. And rumor has it we&amp;#039;re getting another four inches on top of it tonight. Oh, joy. So I&amp;#039;ve been shoveling and salting all stinking day, in between doing a huge project for my day job. I finally cleared the last of the enormous pile away from the front of my mailbox so I can get some mail delivered, and just about then, Anna texted me. She&amp;#039;d been out sledding with her friends all day while I shoveled alone, and she wanted me to drive her and all of her friends to the mall. We live half an hour away from the mall at the very least, my back feels like someone beat it with a sock full of nickels, and I was looking forward to a heating pad and a big glass of wine tonight. So I said &amp;quot;no.&amp;quot;  Of course, I got a flurry of texts telling me I have to do it, I&amp;#039;m mean, they absolutely need to go, and (my personal favorite) &amp;#039;you can sit in the car&amp;#039;, but I stuck to my guns and the answer stayed &amp;#039;no&amp;#039;.  And right now I&amp;#039;m sitting on my heating pad, having a big mug of cocoa with a big splash of Bailey&amp;#039;s and I&amp;#039;m watching a movie I love and it&amp;#039;s going to be a relaxing night. I deserve it. Happy Valentine&amp;#039;s Day to me - I&amp;#039;m finally learning to say &amp;#039;no&amp;#039;. I hope you&amp;#039;re having a wonderful day filled with love and relaxation and anything else you deserve! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
