The Plan
Jenny Jo is coming to Lubbock!
We are all filled with unmeasurable joy!
Here is the plan though:
Melanie, the Magnificent, will gain employment in the Great Lake of Salt!
Allison, the Awesome, will attend the not so Y, U!
AND, Jenny Jo, the Jovial, will gain a fantastic job outdoors, in the wilderness of Utah (but will remain close to the Magnificent and the Awesome).
These three events....if occurring at one moment in time will result in the most Utopian scenario!
Basically we could live in Bliss together!

Because Lubbock gets SNOW DAYS!
If Jenny Jo were in Lubbock this afternoon, she would be doing one of two things: Sitting on the couch, eating stew, and watching episodes of Chuck; or having a snowball fight outside.
When she walked outside this morning she would have seen slushy roads and rain falling briskly. She would have observed the layer of ice encapsulating most of the upward vegetation, making it brittle and easy to break. She would have realized that, were she able to find her umbrella to shield her from the vigorous rain this morning, it would still have left her cold and wet--with a broken umbrella. When she stepped into her car to warm it up, after the initial shock of seeing ice so thick her scraper wouldn't make a dent, she would roll down her window to clear it off. She would smile at the wall of ice that remained even after the window was rolled down, that is, until the wind blew it all into the car, leaving her with the impression that this must be what it felt like to have broken glass scattered over her person.
Were Jenny Jo on an upper story with a window in mid morning, she would have seen snow flurries so thick that she couldn't see the next building over. After the snow slowed, she would see that with the help of the strong wind, the branches of many trees did indeed break and fall to the ground. She would see students out throwing snow balls at each other, and leaving tracks through the whiteness like the beginnings of a Jackson Pollock painting.
When she left campus at 12:30pm when classes were canceled, Jenny Jo would have been awed by the crispness of the clean snow covering the West Texas flatness, and marveled how sharply it contrasted the gray slush in the streets as she drove carefully home. Which is where she would be if she were in Lubbock: either sitting on the couch with stew and Chuck, or outside making the most of a Lubbock snow day!

PJ Shrimp
Today Allison, Garrett, Chirs (who Jenny Jo does not know), and Charlie made PJ shirmp.
Part of the inspiration for this meal came from the very same Jenny Jo, whose love for shrimp was transfered to Allison.
So Jenny Jo -Lubbock = no PJ Shrimp for Jenny Jo
Alas, MLK day was not the same.

Reasons # 2, 3, & 4
Lubbock has a number of claims to Jenny Jo's affections:
Family members of Jenny Jo = 5
Friends of Jenny Jo > 78
Soil grains = innumerable ≈ ∞
Therefore, Jenny Jo has >83 + infinite draws to Lubbock, TX.

Reason #1: Jenny Jo missed Melanie's Birthday
For the past year Melanie has been an odd numbered age. This year is special because now that number is even. Even numbers are better than odd numbers because they divide equally. Although Jenny Jo has attended many-a-birthday party, this one was special because Melanie was excited about being even aged again and she received several piano related presents. A chocolate cake was made in her honor, with a decadent chocolate-creme cheese frosting. We played a Disney version of Mafia and the townspeople won. Melanie attempted to pass herself off as the Fairy Godmother, but was dragged to the hangman's noose anyway, on the point that a "Godmother" isn't an ideal identity when you're trying to avoid connections to the Mafia. It was later revealed that Melanie wasn't the Fairy Godmother at all, but Cruella De Vil. We also played Liverpool rummy and Hand and Foot. Those in attendance felt Jenny Jo would have enjoyed the festivities and lamented her absence at the end of the evening. Come visit, Jenny Jo! And we will re-live our experiences of tonight! Maybe we can find some more fireworks to light at midnight.
