You would think after last year, I’d have snow days all figured out. And, actually we kind of do. The most important part is planning ahead of time so that when you are stuck at home, you have plenty of food (chili is a must) and activities to keep you busy…hence yesterday’s Target trip.
Here is how we kept ourselves busy during yesterday’s snow day…
1. Clean Off Your Car (and head out to a yoga class)
2. Make Chili (and serve it with Frito’s and beer)
3. Do Laundry
4. Nap
5. Bake Brownies
6. Read/Study
7. Stay in Your PJ’s ALL Day
8. Watch Movies (or Law&Order marathons)
9. Nap Again
10. Catch Up on Blogging (I did set January goals…right?!)
And an extra for good luck…
11. Take ridiculous selfies (plural) with your cat!
1. Study, Study Study!
GOAL MET…I think they know me at the library now.
2. Continue to exercise 5 days a week
Due to schedule changes, I’ve only been exercising 3-4xweek and that’s just how it will be until mid March.
3. Sign up and get prepped for a triathlon
ALMOST MET…I’ve got it narrowed down to two and a friend to train with me. I did sign up for the Soldier Field 10 miler. Woo Hoo!
4. Try new recipes/Revisit my cookbooks
Oh man! I’ve been a bit lazy on the cooking front, passing those duties off to the BOY. I’m thinking that this may be the norm until my test.
February Goals
I’m sure these 28 days will fly by and beyond work and studying, I won’t have much time to focus on anything else, so I thought I would keep it SUPER simple!
1. Continue to prioritize studying
2. Drink less soda (an old/new habit that has crept back up with studying…however, it messes with my tummy and sleep so I need to be better about it)
3. Eat clean
How do you spend your snow days? What are snow day food musts?
Love stay in your PJs all day kind of days! And plural selfies with a pet are a must, too 🙂
LOL! I basically live in my PJs and just got a new 9$ fussy blanket at Costco that I can’t seem to crawl out from under : )
[…] Afternoon: Lunch is leftover chili, followed by a luke warm shower (damn you pilot light), and trip number 2 to the grocery […]
pjs, studying, and snacks on hand=a must! I love the idea of having chili on hand, I need to do that for the next storm!
We always do! I’m not sure why but it makes winter seems almost tolerable : ) Stay warm!!!
Luckily I don’t have to worry about snow (except every once in a while)!! But all of those things look like perfect things to do while stuck at home!! I love Fritos on my chili too!!!
Can’t wait to hear what triathlon you are going to do!! Also I really want to come and do the Solider Field race sometime too!!! It always sounds so fun!
It is so much fun and then you can stay for Bike the Drive the next day. They close down 15 miles of Lake Shore for bikes only. It’s super special here in Chicago because traffic is a bear and you never get to see those views otherwise. Keep me posted!!!
YES!! I remember your pictures from the bike ride too!! So much fun!!!
