Snow Day and Swimwear Go Hand-in-Hand Like an Oxymoron and Common Sense!

I can remember once when I was going to Sunset Valley Elementary in South Austin, the school district closed for a day because of a quarter-inch of snow. I have no idea how much it snowed today but it was fantastic. Check out my snowball fight with my friend BJ right before I left the Art Institute of Austin campus this afternoon:

The Montanan versus the Ginger.

"This isn't fair! You're used to this stuff! You're from Montana!" -- BJ.
"...I love you?" -- Me, after I sneak attacked him in the face.
Sliding into "reload snowball" mode.

I had so much fun playing in the snow! For my 8 AM class, only 6 of the 16 came to school, so I had an easy class and ventured outside with the fashion girls to frolic about. It's been melted from my yard for about six hours now, but it's still freezing cold, so my South By Southwest crew meeting was canceled due to worries of ice on the road. You win some, you lose some.

Oddly enough, the day it snows in Austin I receive an e-mail from Wish Ut about a swimwear fashion show! The store will be showing its springswimwear collection at The Quarters (2300 Nueces Street) on March 3rd at 8 PM. All ages are welcome, and I'm excited that it's on a day that I can actually go (now I need to switch my hours at work, but I'll live). Haven't been to a Wish fashion show in a while, and maybe this time I'll remember to take my camera!

I'd like to thank those who've commented since Sunday for all the get-well wishes, along with the good thoughts for Mariel Mentink. I'm still sick, but I'm managing it now, whereas before I didn't even want to breathe. If you're in the Austin area or from Chicago, be sure to read my previous blog regarding the Bike For Your Rights event taking place at the Shangri-La on Thursday for Mariel Mentink.
Sure do wish I had a warm coat like this wool Via Spiga toggle coat from Bluefly! Stay warm, lovelies!
