snow.

okay, so let me tell you something about me: i'm always cold. ALL THE TIME. like, wearing-three-layers-to-walk-around-my-apartment, constantly-craving-hot-baths cold. and i'm starting to wonder if i've done something to deserve it. am i a bad person? am i too impatient with the kids i teach in sunday school? (i totally am, but i'm working on it, okay?) am i mean to my husband without knowing it? i can change. i can change, i promise. because the weather and the temperature never do what i want. ever.

i live in the northern part of our lovely country and it snows more than any state has any right to snow. i don't dislike snow, as long as i don't have to go outside in it. but that's not usually an option. and the thing is, it's not just continuous snow. if i knew exactly when it was going to be snowing, i might be okay (i might even be able to suffer through the point where the snow on the ground is no longer pretty, but is instead a brown slushy layer). 

pretty snow...

...significantly less pretty snow.

but that's not what happens. the snow will gradually fade out. the weather will be gorgeous for like a week, as it should be in march and april. april showers, right? not april avalanches. i will get super excited that finally the weather is going my way. 

and then, the next day, IT SNOWS. 
it knows. i swear it knows.



i hope you're having the dandiest of mays.
