What a Snow Day

This morning was glorious. It was like one of those light shining from heaven, the angels humming, floating on a cloud kind of moments. Yes, it was a snow day. I understand that it's really weird to be so excited over a snow day, but I had gone to bed at 4 in the morning, so I was quite delighted to be able to sleep in. Why was I up until 4 in the a.m, you ask?? Because I was doing a government essay. The same essay that I said I waited last minute to do. Of course, I wasn't working the whole time. Since I was typing on the computer, I got just a tad bit distracted by the internet. But isn't that why the internet was invented? I seriously think that it's all one big conspiracy. Anywhoo, I had to keep myself awake so I finished off a whole bag of Hershey's. Now I don't have any chocolate to satisfy my cravings. Pity.

I slept in until around 12. Usually when I sleep in that late, I'll be lazy the whole day. But today was actually semi-productive. It started with my sisters making breakfast for the whole fam. Their cooking puts me to shame. I can't cook anything to save my life. They make some weird egg stuff, but I have to admit, I was quite impressed.

Eggs, hummus, and french bread. Classic. Then I tried to work that food off by doing the dishes and the laundry. I don't really think that's considered working out, but at least it made me feel like I was doing something. Oh, and here comes the fun part. I decided to challenge the sisters' cooking by baking a cake. I decided a cake for two reasons: 1) cakes are the only thing besides cereal that I know how to make and 2) a snow day calls for celebration.

And I guess I kinda cheated by having one of them help me. But a child who thinks that the word "apple" starts with the letter "g" shouldn't really count, right? Not that it matters. I succeeded in baking that cake without burning the house down OR giving anybody food poisoning.

And here's the reason why it's green: I wanted to make a super awesome rainbow cake, but when I looked in the pantry, we only had green food coloring. So I decided to make a leprochaun cake. The kind that hides the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. So I guess it was almost the same thing. All I was missing were the unicorns and the lucky charms. What am I saying? Silly leprochaun, lucky charms are haram! Try saying that the same way those kids say "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!" It's quite amusing. As for the unicorns, I know they exist because I got stabbed by one. Their horns are quite sharp. I was bleeding green after that happened. I might turn into a leprochaun soon. Allahu 'alam.

The rest of the day was boring. I got a phone call from school, and my mom and I were freaking out because we thought I was in trouble or something, but I wasn't. I'll tell you that story some other time. But I just found out that we have a 2-hour delay tomorrow. Allahu Akbar!! I just need to make intense du'a for some more snow tomight so that we get another snow day tomorrow. Inshallah. Inshallah. Inshallah. Inshallah. Inshallah. Kheir. I'm off to Houstatlantavegas now. Sleep tight, y'all :)
