Here’s my #1 child. He turns 17 in just a few weeks. We always called him Treefrog when he was a baby.
Do you know how hard it is to send a pretty pucker to your boyfriend for Valentine’s Day?
But it was blurry and the lighting was weird. Would El Jefe care about all that? No. But I did.
We went to Oaklawn with some friends on Saturday. It was the perfect day to introduce El Jefe to the art of throwing your money away on the pretty ponies. He actually won some, so it wasn’t a total bust. 🙂 We had a great time, and the weather was awesome. OMG soooo awesome.
OMG. I’m so damn ready for some sun! How do people live in areas where they have no sunlight at all for extended periods of time? I’m going out-of-my-mind crazy! I just wanna crawl under the covers and stay there. It’s not right and I don’t like it one bit.
This is my least favorite time of year. I abhor January and most of February. It’s mostly gray and cold and there’s lots of fog and discontent. (Or did I just describe myself?) All I can think about lately is warm weather, trips to the lake or the pool, walking by the river and getting burned by the sun not by the wind, and just being generally content.
This is why I’m a warm weather girl. This is why I belong in a state like Florida. I belong where there is water and warmth almost all the time. I belong on a beach. I am THAT girl and I’m totally good with that.
We’re headed to Atlanta for a baby shower this weekend and I checked the forecast so I could pack properly and what do I discover? Lows in the low 20s, highs only around 40. Dammit. So I’m gonna be doing a lot of mental vacationing while I’m gone…and this is where I’ll be:
did you click the link cuz you thought I was being dirty? Sorry to disappoint. Pure as snow here.
For reals.
The boys and I will be having an epic battle of snowballs today.
Yesterday, we spent a couple of hours pushing folks out of our ditches. People in the south just can’t drive in the snow. Plus, the roads got bad really fast. I-30 is closed and probably will be for a good long while.
Ruby isn’t a big fan. It’s way too deep for her little legs and it freaks her out. I like watching her hop around though… I’m mean, I know.
As much fun as we’re gonna have today, I can already tell you I’m ready for this stuff to go away. I like it in small doses. I like that usually the day after it snows, it’s sunny and 50 degrees. I’m not a fan of being trapped in my house…especially since I have no car. (It’s in the shop) Not that I’d be driving anywhere anyway. BUT if I had my car, the knowledge that I COULD drive somewhere would keep me from feeling so trapped.
I guess it’s a good thing that it snowed while my car was in the shop though. Now I don’t have to bum rides from everyone–including my mother. 🙂
