Snow Day has a new meaning...
Happy V-Day everyone! I went out today for the first time in three days, and I am trying not to be annoyed by this:
What in the heezy?!?! Maybe I could make a nice life back down in Georgia...here is a phone conversation between my mother and I this morning:
Mom: Hey! I heard ya'll got all that snow up there.
Me: Yep, about 27 inches.
Mom: Daaannnggg, you better get you some snow boots. I couldn't tell you where to get them, cuz we don't have those down here.
Me: I know, I'm gonna get some.
Mom: Shoo, we almost got hit down here. I woke up this morning, and there was snow on the car. I had to get Rob (my Dad) to brush it off before I could go anywhere this morning. And it's cold.
Me: When I stepped outside, the snow came up to my knees, Ma.
Mom: Oh...well, up in North GA they got a few inches, so really, we got some snow.
Me: ok, Ma...**cut to subject change**
I guess the grass is always greener, huh? I'd give anything to just have enough snow to dust the car windows, and it probably all melted by lunchtime. Freakin' Southerners. ;o)
A Valentine's message to a special someone:
I'll be your wind, and take you wherever you want to go, as long as you remember to throw caution to it. Do something special tonight; you have an excuse (not that you need one).
Funny Thoughts and a New Meme...
I discovered this on
Queue's blog and thought it was hilarious. I also discovered on her blog...a new meme! You guys know how much I LOVE doing these things. If you're tagged, you gotta do it! No grumbling...I can hear you...:o)
10 THOUGHTS TO PONDER in 2006
Number 10 - Life is sexually transmitted.
Number 9 - Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one dies.
Number 8 - Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.
Number 7 - Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.
Number 6 - Some people are like a Slinky.....not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.
Number 5 - Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Number 4 - All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism .
Number 3 - Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?
Number 2 - In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
AND THE NUMBER 1 THOUGHT FOR 2006:We know exactly where one cow with 'mad cow disease' is located among the millions of cows in America but we haven't got a clue as where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located.Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.

An Update
Just in case you didn't know, there are two major hobbies in my life at the moment that are taking up most of my time. They are cooking and knitting/crocheting. They have consumed me so much that I have dedicated a blog to each of them. In case you want to check them out, here are the web addresses:

I Need The Wiz...
...to give me some Courage. I am about to make a bold move. I know this guy...we've been friends for about five years. He has always had my back, even though we live far away from each other. Our friendship has remained in tact. After my last visit, I felt something for him that I never felt before. It was a simple feeling - that we should be together. I pushed it aside for a while, because I live here, he lives there, and I felt like there was no way it could work. Plus, he once had those feelings for me, and they were unrequited on my end. For the last four months, he has been heavy on my mind. I'm gonna visit some friends who live in the same city as him in a few weeks.
And I have decided to tell him how I feel.
I have convinced myself that I am prepared for whatever his response may be. For the first time in a long, long time...I am nervous. I mean damn near scared. The last time I dredged up enough whatever to tell a man how I feel about him, he was mine for a year and some change after that. Do I get two lucky breaks? We're both at points in our lives where we can be flexible about where we live, so...
I've gone over the script in my head a million times. I know where each inflection will go, how I will turn my head just so when I say that part...you know how it goes.
Now...will this read to him as bold, courageous love of my life, or overly-aggressive 'one-of-those' sistahs? I know him well, but brothas never cease to continue surprising me, you know what I'm sayin'?
If he's not the one, he's not the one. I'm sure the embarassment will be minimal. At least I have somewhere to escape to. But my heart says, nothing ventured, nothing gained and you gotta take risks, and every other appropriate cliche' for this situation.
I'm puttin' myself out there, ya'll. And no matter what the end result, I know deep down in my heart that I'm doing the right thing.
This is for Aggressive Sistahs everywhere! Wish me luck...16 days and counting...
