Snow is beautiful, but why can’t it ever happen on a Saturday or Sunday? It was a terrible weekend weather-wise, and I had things to do that I could not postpone. So I was out in it, wet and cold all weekend. Then, the snow came Sunday night, and I had to stress about getting to work yesterday. I got up around five times during the night to “check things out,” and the only thing that was good for was interrupting my sleep, putting more stress on me, and being exhausted on Monday.
Luckily for me, my husband cleaned off my car yesterday morning; however, his work was closed all day so he was at home all comfy and cozy. So, I left home around 7:15 a.m., driving like a little old lady (which I am, but I don’t usually drive like one), and worrying all the way that something could easily happen to my car. I made it, but I slid a couple of times and had some other drivers irritated with me for driving so slowly.
Please let this be the last of the ice and snow for several months, and the next time it does snow, please let it happen on a weekend so that I can ENJOY it.

oh my goodness well i think exactly 60% of the city would vehemently disagree with you(assuming that 60% of the city is, in fact, made up of children... my guess is that number's a bit high)
ReplyDeleteanyways... the JOY of a weekday snow: SNOW DAY. and in college, it's even better. No make-up days! it's being handed the gift of time and freedom, and it brings pure, unadulterated joy. dancing, singing, sleeping in, JOY.
It's even more beautiful because we're in the South, and us Southerners don't know how to handle snow, God bless us, so we're just paralyzed by winter weather... meanin': light the fire in the fire place and kick back, 'cause ain't no one doin' anythin' today, darlin'
oh and, for the record, when it snows on a weekend i pray feverishly that the roads freeze at least until monday and extend the weekend bliss. with the first flake - no, the first prediction of snow - the endless stream begins: "let it last till monday please oh please snowdaysnowdaysnowdaysnowday"
ReplyDeleteI had a concert to go to on Sunday night, so I had to drive from my boyfriend's apartment to campus, to the concert, back to campus, and back to my boyfriend's apartment.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I went over 35mph the entire time.
