snowed in. slept in. romped around in the snow. after taking forever to get ready, telling my mom that, "the thing about snow boots is that i can never tell if they're on the right foot." she said, "chelsea you always did have that problem, let me see." haha i wish i were joking but it's the truth - i am 22 dancing on eternally 12. sledding was unsuccessful. making snow ice cream was better than every other past attempt. i had to eat it super fast because it was melting, what a crime. also made soft pretzels and chocolate chip cookies for a completely delicious carb overload. and of course homework and studying, but who wants to hear about that?
talked on the phone - unusual for me, not a fan of that ... snow fever? my dad told me how grandma was telling him that sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night and wonders where benny is and gets worried. that's my grandpa (officially ephraim benjamin, but i've never heard her call him anything but benny), and he died eight or so years ago. i told my dad that's the saddest thing i've ever heard, but it still makes me happy that they loved each other so much and got to spend their life together. beautiful love.
