Winter

Winter is such a nice unique sort of time of year. The only time of year when your hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows will freeze along with your nose and everything in it. The snow drifts are growing larger, like some diabolical monster from one of my video games. It just gets bigger and bigger and the only viable way of killing it involves a healthy dose of flame-thrower. The only upside to all of this right now is that there isn't any ice. Ironically enough, it's too warm. Cold enough to snow every day, just not enough to create the usual layer of ice hiding under the snow. That's nice and all, but now instead of the cars sliding on ice they just get stuck in the snow. It's an interesting trade-off and I don't know which one I'd prefer. But for now I get to deal with treading my way through the snow piling ever higher and measuring how high it is today (about to the knees now). It's more fun to look at it from the comfort of my living room. The couches are nice. :) And I can sit here and think about the fact that I don't have to walk to school in the dark and the snow until Tuesday. Happy Weekend!
