The forecasters had been saying we might get a mix of rain and snow sometime late Thursday, but that it'd be more rain than snow.
Then ... this morning I woke up a little earlier than my alarm and saw an email from the host parent of the Korean student I'm working with. It said school had been canceled. Curious, I got up and looked out my window ...
It is supposed to keep snowing until midnight tonight, so I suspect school will at the least be delayed or canceled tomorrow.
Yesterday when I was done working with the Korean boy, I stopped across the street and got my oil changed, radiator flushed and brake fluid replaced. My uncle (over Christmas) had told me I should do the radiator fluid soon ... so I finally did it. 
I'm glad I got all that out of the way yesterday.
Tutoring is going well. I think I'm making a pretty good impression on the host parent. The host parent apparently is the sister of the school's registrar. I may have the possibility of another tutoring student or two from the same school. I met the mom of the autistic boy on Monday, but he was sick, so we haven't talked anymore since then.
I may have a very full schedule soon!

Tuesday night I had my first ASL class. I loved it! We're going to have a test each week, and we'll have potlucks with the deaf members, and they'll come in and tell us stories and eventually we'll have to sign a paragraph length story while the rest of us write it down. I've found a couple apps on my iPhone to help me practice. There's a total of 10 people in my class, plus two or three instructors.

I haven't done well at all on the no eating out challenge this month. Somehow telling myself I'm not going to do it has caused me to do more of it than usual. Well, at least I know I won't be doing it today or probably tomorrow!

Almost forgot. I need a business name for my tutoring. When it was just the one or two kids, I didn't really need anything formal. But if I start getting more ...
So ... any ideas? I was thinking of just registering my name as a dba, but am not sure if that's a good idea. Or, maybe I could use the name of my classroom website I used to have (can't put it on here, because part of my last name is in it) ?
When I had a business before, I had LAN enterprises - don't know if I could use that again - plus it doesn't sound very appealing for tutoring.

3in1 - I'm in the DFW area. We don't usually see this much snow here either. Those pictures were taken about 10 a.m. The snow *just* stopped falling (about 7 p.m.). It's pretty crazy to have two snow storms like this in one winter season (a similar storm happened while I was away for the holidays - on Christmas Eve).

In one picture - he had a measuring tape out - over 8" in his yard. While it was very pretty - I imagine it's also very cold.
