Snow Day Top Ten

Today is a snow day which = no work! The Post has a link today to vote on whether or not you think it's safe to go to work tomorrow. Not surprisingly, the majority of voters are picking "Yes - it is too dangerous to go to work tomorrow," despite the $100 million in lost productivity from federal employees alone. See, the government really would save taxpayer dollars if they were based in the hearty Midwest. Anyway, I am enjoying my day of getting paid for not working.

If you need ideas of what to do today, here's my personal Top 10 list of things to do on a snow day in Washington, DC:

1) Work on my dance moves for the upcoming Jay-Z concert.
2) Go for a run, potentially in Rock Creek Park, to demonstrate my flinty Midwestern toughness. Mr. Prez would be proud.
3) Try on my cocktail dresses so when/if I get an invite to an embassy party, I know what to wear.
4) Hypothesize about what my cover story would be if I were a spy.
5) Make snowmen in the likenesses of American presidents.
6) Scheme about how to score a date to the White House Correspondent's Dinner in spring. Would be another chance to wear aforementioned cocktail dresses.
7) Catch up with friends, relishing the different geographic perspectives they have to offer on the snow. From Florida to Texas to the Midwest, cold is a relative term.
8) Brush up on my foreign language skills in hopes I can become a diplomat's wife.
9) Anticipate whether or not we'll get tomorrow off, too, since we are supposed to get more snow then!
10) And #10... work on the JayGirl blog.

What I really should do is laundry. Sigh.
