School's Out Forever

I get to play hooky again today, bringing the total to a four-day weekend. It's not like your usual four-day weekend in that it's Really Freaking Cold and no one wants to leave the building let alone their beds, but it will do for my birthday.

Oh, did I not mention?
I have a birthday tomorrow.

I am considering a trip to the hot springs because there is nothing like steaming hot waters outside in -50°F temperatures. Everyone has to try it if they ever get the chance. Only deterrent for the trip is that it is Really Freaking Cold and it's a long drive out there but a longer drive back after everyone gets all warm and happy and sleepy.

Or maybe I will make brownies and french vanilla ice cream from scratch. But that would necessitate a trip to the store, away from my apartment and away from my bed.

Better yet, why doesn't everyone come over and bring me ice cream and gifts and I will provide the warm brownies and games and witty company. And the blankets.
