Brrrr!

I discovered, at 5:45 this morning that Kasha doesn't like snow plows. This was only after I discovered that in the middle of the night, out of nowhere, someone blew freezing cold wet stuff all over the place and didn't bother to inform me of. Because I AM that important you know:) No one said anything about snow? Hrm, that'll teach me to fall asleep without consulting the current weather forecast. Which is mostly pointless because it will be 50 degrees next week any way and then snow again the following week and no one will know what the heck is really going on, except for Mother Nature herself. Whom, as we all know is a lot wiser than we are.

Good thing my hall closet is packed and ready to go with jackets and other cover up things ranging from "sunny fall day" to "blizzard conditions, frigid don't breathe the air to deeply and make sure all your digits are covered." I have the cutest little purple pseudo-suede gloves and matching hat with cotton "fur" on the edges that I like to wear, not very functional but oh so warm and cuddly, AND cute! Max doesn't need a coat, he's far to sophisticated and cool to need some wimpy coat to keep himself warm. He may regret that decision today.

Just went to use the little girls room, the sun is out and beaming happily. I cannot see actual sunlight from my cube unless I get up and even then my view is obstructed by other cubes and faces, but I do manage to roam around occasionally and get some actual real light. Sometimes I feel like a gecko. One of those little guys that sits on his warming rock all day trying to warm himself under his own little 'sun' - waiting for something interesting to happen or a fly to buzz by that might be caught with such a gloriously wild tongue. Yes, a gecko in a cage, that's what I feel like in this office some times. Speaking of, I always wondered what it would be like to be able to lick my eyeball. Randomly lick your own eyeball while in the midst of conversation with your peer group or, even better, your supervisor? Heh. I've been watching too much XMen I think.

Note to self: Black olive and jalapeño pizza makes a pretty decent breakfast.....

Back to work, I'm FINALLY in a productive place this morning and must run with it...toodles.

xo,

HA! Cold, windy nights with hot cocoa (w/ Bailey's of course) and your favorite snuggle bunny?

Not such a bad thing IMO!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the snow.

What would Halloween be without the threat of snow to ruin your costume?

What's NOT to like about at least one firm tail-bone, ass cracking sliiiiip down the stairs on the ice?

And finally, who can deny the total joy of donuts in the parking lot at 2 AM?

Or sledding? At 2 AM? Though, if I attempted that now...it would be bad, you'd all be hearing about it for months after.

HOWEVER, when I was 22 and young and slightly drunk, it seemed like a great idea at the time..

The only thing I have a beef with is that frigid, windy, don't breathe it in to deeply air that blasts over us in Jan/Feb. That stuff SUCKS and freezes my hair in the morning and then melts when I get to the office all down the back of my shirt.

Thank goddess for butt warmers!

You know what I love?

Waking up every morning and knowing that my drive to the office isn't going to be frought with ice and snow.

Not having to scrape my car windows at the crack of dawn, therefore avoiding frost forming in my nostrils.

Wearing cute sweaters in the dead of winter - that don't make me look like nanook from the north.

Not having to struggle with a snowsuit or snow boots or snow ANYTHING.

All weather tires on my car, year round. No studs, no chains, no constant swappy game.

Wearing a costume on Halloween and people actually SEEING it (instead of a winter jacket) while trick or treating...

NOT falling and busting my ass is always nice as well.

:p

I'll share a hot toddy with ya'll anytime though!!!
