Although they got two feet of snow and the "2nd Worst Blizzard in History" as far as Chicago is concerned, our version of the Snowpocalypse was more of an Icegeddon. We ended up with about .75" of ice drizzled with a bit of snow. This doesn't sound too horrible, but it got us out of school for about 24 hours (Which managed to get me out of FOUR whole classes. Perfect timing IU! Many thanks from this lazy senior! I should also mention that IU has only ever canceled classes a total of like five days in its history) and a lot of people are still out of power.
Thankfully we never lost it and our hardships were pretty much limited to being cut short from a trip to the mall and spending half an hour chipping our cars out of ice. Not bad at all.
The wild hair and lack of makeup: the way I looked for about two days this week.
I wish I could have gotten more pictures of the icy trees, but the freak weather melted the ice off and refroze it on the ground before I could make it out the next day!

Ice Bunny?
I've also STILL been working on recovering from this 'sick' that I was starting to worry was bronchitis. Turns out it is the same thing I got this time last year: a HORRIBLE allergy related mess. I guess the floor set at work and cleaning off the shelves a week and a half ago really set it off and it just went down hill from there. Now I'm on a whole slew of Allergy/Symptom relief medications including a Promethazine/Codeine Cough Syrup... you know, the stuff rappers make SIZZURP out of. I don't question the ability of that stuff to mess you up... I took a teaspoon full earlier this morning and was knocked into the best nap ever with some REALLY wild dreams. I'm actually looking forward to see what comes from tonight's dreams.
The first time I wore real clothes and make-up in days...
Outfit
Sweater, Leggings: Old Navy
Scarf: H&M (Kind of obsessed, if you couldn't tell)
Dress: Target
Boots: Charlotte Russe
Tomorrow it's off to Chicago with my friend Betsy to visit my dad and another friend for the weekend. I'm kind of excited to see all the snow, and glad that Chicago is on top of its game and had everything cleared up pretty much the day after the blizzard. Hopefully I'll get a lot of pictures so I actually have something interest to post about next week. (Not that promethazine induced dreams aren't great or anything...)
