On Walkabout

Hello Blog. You are looking well. You look almost the same as when we last met more than three years ago. It's comforting that you have held up so well. 

Yes, it has been a long time. Much has happened. Birthdays, anniversaries, new friends, new jobs, new pastimes, new photos. So many photos... 

I feel a little bad that I've let you languish for so long, abandoned through no fault of your own. It feels good to be here now, writing. I haven't done that in a long time. 

I've missed it, and I haven't. Have you missed me? Nevermind, don't answer. I'd rather not know the truth.

I know I only just arrived, but I need to move along now. I'll come back again. 

Hopefully sooner than this time. 

No promises though.

UPDATED! AGAIN! I Can't Turn My Brain Off


After seeing a comment on a friend's status, I was reminded of an old saying:

"It's colder than a witch's titty outside"
The little thought train in my head pulled out of the station, and is refusing to turn around and go home. I think the conductor may be drunk.

These are some of the stops it made as it circled around and around:

So, why are witches titties so cold?

Do they have a circulation problem?

And if they are really as cold as people would have you believe, do they dispense soft serve instead of milk?

And if they do produce soft serve, how can we be sure that it's because of the temperature of the titties and not magic, I mean they ARE witches after all.

*sigh*

Writing it out makes me feel a little better.

Not really.

UPDATED

A friend commented wondering what flavor the ice cream would be.

Good question. My response: Well, being a witch, I'd imagine she could make it any flavor she wanted. #magic #yo

That's right, I #hashtag on Facebook. Don't judge me. You know you do it to. #butIstartedit And now I'm #hashtagging my blog #likeaBOSS 


Well, that got weird.


UPDATED AGAIN

Ok, I'm just going to link the post on Facebook because it's getting a little crazy over there.

Winter Wonderland


This week we got a crazy snow storm on Wednesday. Early enough that it shouldn't effect Christmas day its self, but it did put a wrinkle in early holiday travel plans for a lot of people.

It also made for some great pictures. I had a hard time choosing just one for Silent Sunday, so I decided to do a post dedicated to all the great pictures that didn't make the cut for Silent Sunday. I hope you enjoy them.


This was two hours into the storm. Barely an inch to show for it.
About 3 am after 11 hours of snowing.

That tree branch was only about three or four feet off the ground. Normally it's eleven feet off the ground.

Thunder snow. The lightning was turning the sky green.  

After about 15 hours of snowing, we had about 9 inches of snow on the ground. The official count at the airport was 12.4 inches.

Snow day!

So pretty, and right before Christmas.

What's more fun than a slide in summer? A slide covered in snow!

The neighbor's magnolia tree lost a few branches because of the heavy, wet snow and high winds.
Yes, even with nearly a foot of snow on the ground and a travel strongly discouraged by the DOT and police, people were still out trying to get around in this mess.
The Neighbors had a power line in their front yard that was barely a foot off the ground. It was still attached to the poles, but all the slack had been pulled out of the line on either side for several houses.
At the height of the storm and the next day, more than 37,000 people were without power. Some of them were in the dark for more than 12 hours with a snow storm raging outside and temps in the teens.

Friday morning (day two after the storm) dawned bright and sunny.

The temperature reached 40 degrees, so it was a little easier to get the three inches of ice under the snow cleared off the driveway. Danger Baby helped shovel some too.


Danger Baby's mittens are a little big for her.

All our neighbors with healthy trees lost huge sections and branches. Our big dead tree? Only lost a few twigs. It is the tree that will not fall.

Snowy branches against a bright blue sky.


The Angry Midget makes a snow angel.





The snow wasn't good snowman snow. It just wouldn't roll up properly, but The Angry Midget did manage to make a snow horse. She's so cute and creative.


Merry Christmas To You And Your's!

With Love From:

Home



Ugh. I should be writing.

I'm not.

This could be a problem.

I'm homesick not just for home, but for a person who used to be close and is now back where I wish I was.

Balls.

Emotions. What are they good for?

Hormones? They can go screw themselves.

Distance? It does make the heart grow fonder.

But...

But distance also makes the heart ill.

*Sigh*

I miss comfortable.

I miss normal.

I miss home.
