In case you didn't believe me



Here are some snow pics. One shows how tall the snow piles are compared to us and our mailbox. The other is H playing in the snow fort he and Daddy built. The photos don't truly illustrate what a complete pain in the ass the snow has been. And now that the snow is melting some, it's a nightmare in the parking lots -- ankle-deep puddles by day, skating rink by night.

But these were taken right after the snow stopped and the sun came out, creating a glistening, pristine canvas for our creative play. Before we made sled tracks and snow angels. Before the brown slush splashed up from the road. Before the dogs marked their territory.

About this time tomorrow night, some of us are going to be remembering with fondness the 30-degree day on which this was taken. You know, when it's 6 below with a -30 wind chill, sitting in a tent in the snow, reading with a headlamp, communing with nature and a dozen complete strangers.

I like your house!! And I wish we could get some of that snow here in St. Louis!! Seems like it's been ages since we've had really deep snow like that. Enjoy. Stay in and stay warm! Or go camping... :)

I was going to say - that is going to be a NIGHTMARE when it all melts. I am truly sorry for you. :)

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel

Looking Forward

I just discovered this blog was still around (and miraculously, I remembered the password). I think I might kick the tires and take it out for a spin.  Our world has been in lockdown for a year, suffering a pandemic that has killed nearly 550,000 in the United States and 2.7 million globally. We've worn masks, maintained physical distance of at least 6 feet from others, washed and sanitized our hands, worked and schooled from home, dealt with (of all things) a toilet paper shortage, and given up most of our favorite activities (restaurant dining, movie theaters, live performances, family gatherings, and so on). We've endured people's stupidity, ignorance, racism, xenophobia, selfishness, indifference. We've also celebrated the "essential worker," those who put their lives at risk to make ours safer: grocery store employees, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, educators ... all those whose jobs help ensure continuity of our country's infrastructure
