Sunday night I went to a good friend's superbowl party - what a game! I was pulling for the Ravens, since Joe Flacco grew up about 30ish minutes from where I did. You have to root for the hometown hero right?
What a great game, too! Between the actual football, the halftime show, and that blackout: it's one I'll remember for a long time! Oh, and of course the snacks we enjoyed (roasted marshmallows anyone?) were icing on a fun evening of friends and football.
The rest of the week was typical. But then as many of you know, the storm of the century arrived in Boston! We had a snow day on Friday and I just hung out and watched the snow pile up and up and up. It only just ended Saturday night with a grand total of 26 inches! Lots more snow recaps to come, so stay tuned!
Highlight of the week: nothing can beat a snow day! I haven't had a snow day in 3 years since "snowpocalypse" hit DC when I was in college! Yes, even teachers want them too. The 2 feet of snow was pretty awesome too.
Favorite teaching moment: I graded my class' first big writing assignment this week (we've been writing, but nothing for a score). I returned them on Thursday and one of my kiddos came up to me at pack-up time and thanked me for his grade! I thanked him for a fabulous story to read!
Random-osity: I can read lips, well, which makes football games fun (coaches have filthy mouthes). But, this year at the superbowl either the coaches weren't saying much or I was having too much fun to take notice to pick up any juicy conversations!

The snow moved in around 10ish on Friday and slowly got harder and harder. The governor issued a travel ban and everything shut down! Late Friday afternoon, I ventured out to get some "before" shots. By Friday after dark it was coming down like CRAZY! By the time I went to bed at 10:30, we were 90 minutes away from officially being a blizzard.
Well, we easily earned ourselves a blizzard. Along with insane amounts of snow! Boston eventually wound up with 24.9 inches, Brookline got over 26 inches! It's now the 5th largest snow storm in the region!!
I was floored by the amount of snow. Because of the insane winds, there were areas where the snow measured upwards of 3 feet. Cars had become mini-white mountains and windows were plastered with snow. 
I had a lazy, lazy morning and then went out to find my car. 2 hours later and it was found (take that Nemo) and I felt like I ran a marathon!
Twitter was awesome through this and I was tweeting with my fave weather guy, JR the whole time. He knows how badly I've wanted a big storm and actually sent me a tweet (!) saying, "loving this storm?!?!?! It's YOUR storm!" - I have nothing but praise for the storm team, they spent over 48 hours in the weather center getting us through this! 
It was great to get out and walk around after it stopped snowing. People were emerging and checking out the neighborhood. Lots of snow everywhere. People were skiing places, just strolling around, and taking it all in. I even saw one guy running in shorts and a short sleeve top - only in Boston!
The best might have been the thought I had when I saw that the subway was open: s
We still have much digging out to do. They say long range temps are supposed to be normal so this snow will be around for the next month or more. For now, I'll enjoy the leftovers from storm of the century and the blanket of white in my neck of the woods!
The museum is in the South Boston, it's up and coming and lots of industrial buildings are being converted around the area. I was digging the view from the bridge heading into South Boston.
The ICA is right on the water. The building has this great boardwalk type promenade. I bet in summer it's a great place to hang out. Yesterday, was more of a snap some pics and run inside type of day!
The collection is small, but interesting. I enjoyed the mix of statues, prints, and paintings.
At the front of the museum's collection floor is an amazing outlook space. You can just look out at the water and the barges and ships entering the harbor.
