I was scrambling to get things done at work before Lloyd came to pick me up, and looked up at the clock and it was 6:20. “Hmmmm…. that’s odd. He’s a bit late.” I went to get my phone to call and suddenly realized that it was Discover Lincoln Lutheran night. (Spoiler: it’s on 56th street)
Dang.
I’d have to walk home. It’s not really a problem – I like walking home, and tonight I was crazy-prepared because I had brought my snow pants for recess! Woo-hoo! I bundled up and set out. I even stopped at the store and treated myself to a t.v. dinner. Yes, they’re terrible for you, but I secretly love having bad Thanksgiving dinner within minutes. Minutes, I say!
I was wallowing in house-to-myself-and-NBC-has-all-new-shows happiness so much, I decided to not take off my snowpants. It’s 10:15 p.m. as I write this, and I might just wear them to bed.
Ah….. a good night.

I love having a Treat Night. But my favorite bad-for-you dinner is a box or bag of cookies.
Kristi says
Those look like super-thick snowpants. Is that a Bomgaars, Menards, or Cabela’s purchase?
Lauren says
Orsheln’s, which everybody pronounces wrong. (They say ‘Or-sheh-lens’.)
Peggy says
I had a very similar evening…I had potato wedges for dinner with salt & watched all the new shows too! But I didn’t have on snow pants.
(and I can tell by your sock formation that your feet are not shockingly weird!)
Gretchen says
Love the Turkey TV dinner! As a kid when we got to choose whatever we wanted to eat for dinner (that meant my Dad was working late) I always chose TV dinners. Oh, the memories…
Jane Sommerer says
They look pretty warm, Lauren. They would make me hot in the house. Did you get the snow we got??
Lauren says
We got a fair amount of snow on Thursday afternoon and a half-inch or so today. I like it though, since it makes it feel like it’s actually winter.
