Fall-ish!

The best time of the year. I LOVE transitional seasons!!! Not too cold, not too hot, just right! My favorite seasons are as follows, Spring, Fall (a VERY close second!), Summer and finally Winter. I've never been cool w/cold weather. The only time I've really enjoyed Winter is when there was too much snow on the ground and school was canceled. Never cared for snowball fights; as much fun as they were, there was always some idiot who thought it was a good idea to sneak you w/a snowball to the face when you weren't even looking. And, who needs the cold??? I mean, seriously, you've gotta put on layer after layer of things to wear! If you need to go to the store, you can't just throw on a pair of pants and a tee shirt and be on your way....no, no, no, no, no! There must be thermal this and thermal that! In the fall, you need a coat and maybe a hat. Spring, nuthin' but clothing. Summer, you're fine! But Winter, no, you're in for something very uncomfortable. Yes, yes I know, Summer is uncomfortable also, which is why it's number three on the list. But, there are public pools. Museums. Plenty of trees to be used as shade. Plenty of water and Gatorade to drink. Bugs? I'll take bug bites over frigid fingers and toes any day of the week! Summer never stopped people from getting to work by freezing the roads. I don't know of anyone who threw their back out while racking leaves or slipped on sidewalks hot enough to fry an egg. I love Fall...but not as much as Spring. And, it actually has nuthin' to do w/the weather and everything to do w/what it represents! Fall means that Winter is right around the corner and who needs that???


Yes, my glass is half empty!

Shoveling. Snow. Saints!

The last eight days have truly been the stuff of legends!  First, the snow on Friday!  As many of you know, I was born and raised in Alexandria, VA.  Aside from the four years that I served in the Army, I've spent roughly 32 years of my life in the familiar surroundings of traffic, traffic and more traffic.  That being said, I have NEVER EVER seen anything like this.  One could make the argument that there was the blizzard of '96...but I was still in Georgia at the time so technically, this is a first for me.  I gotta say, I love snow.  Not the shoveling, but the sound of snow falling; so quiet, so serene.  Truly a thing a beauty...and the fact that I missed several days of work because of it doesn't hurt.  I also didn't miss the fact that we lost approximately 20 hours of power in the first 48 hours of said snow storm.  Honestly, I didn't mind it so much.  We lost power at 10PM which conveniently became bed time!  You'd be amazed at how tired you suddenly feel...
