Me Liking the Snow?!


I've been somewhat enjoying the snow this year. I know, it's definitely not a "me" thing to be liking the snow. I'm not a snow person, I don't like skiing, I don't like being cold, I don't like being cold and wet, I don't like scary roads in the snow, and I don't like winter. Hmm...I think I about covered it. But strangely enough I've been liking the snow this year. I haven't had too many experiences (yet) of driving too far or sliding too much on the icy roads. I got some fabulous snow tires for my car this year (after my blasted flat tire last year I had to buy 2 new ones!), which helps me feel safer. I'm also liking that I don't have far to go to get from home to work and back again.

While I was off track it did some snowing. I liked it! Except for the day I had a ton of errands to do (that's a different story for a different time). Of course I still have my days or moments when I'm cursing the stupid snow, but for the most part I'm sort of a "happy snow" person this year. I've had a few nights/days when I'm just in a snuggly, curled up in a blanket, fireplace on, hot chocolate drinking, lazy mood and it's quite satisfying to see it snowing and know that I don't have to go out or do anything in particular (unless I have school that day however). I hope everyone else has been enjoying or at least surviving the snowstorms. Be safe!

I like snow when I can stay home, warm inside and watch it through the window. Other than that, not for me!
