snow day.

I'm snowed in one more day (um, maybe more than that!) My neighbors directly west got 6-8 inches more than me, and I got plenty.  So, in other words, perfect Burda Style magazine tracing time.  I started with January 2011's issue and already have the flutter sleeve top traced and started this plus dress:

I'm feeling so positive about tracing I think I'll attempt to get these traced too:

 

Can't forget the fabulous plus pants in that issue (and possibly the slim skirt):

Whew.  That's a lot of tracing!  If my eyes hold out, I'll move on to February.  I really want to try these dresses:

 

And these bottoms:

So we don't starve while I'm preoccupied with the Burda Style's, I stuck this garlic chicken recipe in the crock pot.  Yum.  We'll have buttered (whole wheat) noodles and a veggie (probably broccoli) with ours.  Yesterday I stuck a pot roast in the crock pot, so we have the leftovers today to make barbecue beef sandwiches for lunch.  Yum again.

I hope you're staying warm and toasty during this massive storm!  I'm watching our local news right now and they just got off the phone with a driver who has been stranded in his truck on the interstate in Tulsa since 10 pm LAST NIGHT.  Can you imagine??  There are approximately 100 people stranded in regular cars as accurate as they can count at this point.  Who knows how many are out there without cell service.  Sending them all warm, positive, safe return home thoughts!
