Waiting for the snow

Why is it, when you have no where to go, nothing to do, and could really use a nice bit of snow to put you in the Christmas mood, snow is no where to be found, regardless of what the weather man says? BUT when you have a fabulous day of shopping planned (that requires you to drive 45 minutes to a nearby town) without kids, husband, and a wallet full of cash it comes in buckets accompanied with icy roads?

Today is the first weekend in a long line of weekends that I have nothing to do but bake Christmas cookies, put up some Christmas decorations and listen to Christmas music. My boys are off at their cousins for the day. My husband has a day planned of working on the paintball course, its just me and little lizzie and not a single snowflake can be found? *sigh*

Well heres to hoping there is a little bit of snow in the rest of the weekends forecast.
