6. Snow days
I know some parts of the Midwest and Northeast have gotten some hella storms over the past couple days.

Goddamn global warming -- here in DC, all we have is fog and drizzle.

9. I consider myself to be a full time homemaker,
rather than unemployed. I could get a job if I wanted one. I might even be able to get a decent paying job. I was working last year full time (my husband was and is still working full time), but I found it way too stressful for both of us to be working so much while we have a little one (he's currently two). We're going to be moving about 2000 miles away in sight of 6 months too. I don't see any point in stressing out trying to get a job that I'm just going to have to quit in a few months. Getting a job for me also means getting a sitter and I would have to make enough money for it to be worth it.

That's why I'm around during the day, anyhow.
