    Please don’t talk about it. I’m still upset and can see that it is snowing out of my office :(

  2. You can call me, 'Sir' Says:

    I grew up in Ohio and have been kicking my own ass daily for the last month because I’m actually considering going to the University of Indiana for a PhD. See, I know that land from whence cometh my angst and the idea that I might willingly go back fills me with the kind of conflict normally reserved for African countries and the Middle East.

    My feelings exactly! It is the second day of Spring here in Northern Indiana and we have a winter storm warning here? Guess the egg hunt will have to be indoors this year. Arrrrggggghhhhhh!

    I read about the storm online and am now dreading heading home. It’s SPRING here in Portland! Trees budding! Flowers blooming! Not snowing! I don’t want to have to get home and then have to go dig out my car.

    kilax: it’s seriously making me insane. i had to dig out my boots and snow scraper today and i was swearing the entire time.
    sir: what were you thinking?! can’t you get your PhD in phoenix or san diego or somewhere?
    robin: you should hide white eggs outside in the snow – the hunt will last until fall!
    kris: sorry to break it to you, but you’re going to have to find your car under a pile of snow. i don’t think we’re going to get as much as the news at 6 would like us to believe, but it’s still a colossal mess and really, really depressing.

    I don’t know how, but we’re finally missing that Winter storm. It seems like we caught every single other one this year.

    I would mock your pain with tales of our sunshine, but I recall midwestern winters and how they sucker-punch you just when you think the worst is over; and I simply cannot find it in my heart to pour salt in your wounds. Do you need me to send batteries or something? Dehydrated food? Scotch?

    I was in exile in New England for awhile this year, and every minute I spent in the frozen wasteland was a reminder of why I moved to Seattle, where I NEVER EVEN TURNED ON MY HEAT THIS WINTER.
    Feel free to hate at your leisure.

    Sniff…I have waited patiently for “Sometimes Bunny” to make an appearance on her special day, but I guess she forgot about us.
    Maybe next year, huh?
    ;)

    The PNW loves you Jenny. Why don’t you leave that frigid wasteland you call a home and join us in eternal evergreen paradise?

  13. dee-dee Says:

    seriously! 15″ of snow on fri for me … i can’t wait till we move to PNW — though you really do live in the best neighborhood for snow days …
