Best Weekend I've Had In A Long Time

596sparkI drove home Thursday night, and am very glad that I did because I woke up to find my parents' yard covered in about three inches of snow. And in Tennessee, three inches meant that every school and business shut down and the entire town took a day off to play in the snow. I built a snowman with my parents and then had a snowball fight with my best friend, ex-boyfriend, and the kids down the road, followed by several hours of sledding down a giant hill. Friday night, my mom and I took some soup to my aunt, and it was like a little family dinner of homemade soup and grilled-cheese sandwiches.
Saturday the snow was still there, so I took the dog out to frolic in it for a little bit. She attacked the snowman that was built the previous day, and looked adorably puzzled when she lunged at it and it just sort of fell down on her. That night, my mom and I made hot chocolate and watched Jesus Christ Superstar and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Odd selection of movies, now that I think about it.
Today, I got up, packed up, ready to head back to school, and my car wouldn't start. My dad and my uncle puzzled over it for a bit, ultimately deciding that I will need a new car before long (I'm kind of sad - I've had my car since I was sixteen) but, since I couldn't really go buy a new one today, my mom drove me back to school. It was two hours of blaring the Grease soundtrack and singing at the top of our lungs and then lunch at one of the best Italian places in town.
All in all, it was a great weekend. Now I'm back in the library, working on homework and listening to The Little Mermaid. I feel like a little kid.
