Weekend Twitterings

Happy Monday friends! And it's going to be a snowy Monday too: the forecast says we're getting 3-6 inches of snow today (insert sad trumpet here). Luckily, you charged your batteries over the weeekend and that should keep you going 'till next weekend is here again. Enjoy Weekend Twitterings!
