Woopeee!

The Office of Personnel Management announced that the Federal Government in the Washington D.C. area will be closing due to inclement weather! We get to go home at 2:00PM! I feel like a kid in school getting a half day! What should I do with my three hours? Eat. Watch TV. Read more Harry Potter. Eat. Surf the net. I don’t know, the world is my oyster! I can do whatever I want! Yay!

*Picked this recipe up from a Giant Food grocery store. Haven’t tried making it yet but it seems relatively easy and sounds tasty. I bet you could even add other ingredients like chopped onions and diced tomatoes.  If you don’t have shrimp, or prefer something else, you could try chicken too.
