It's 4 am (or close to it, I'm never sure of the time because my computer is lazy and refuses to keep up with such mundane things) and I am sitting here, typing away on my blog. Ya know, if I spent half as much time working on my real writing, I would be a best-selling author by now. I could be sitting on a sandy beach, sipping a cold drink with an umbrella in it, while tall, muscle-bound, scantily-clad cabana boys fanned me with gigantic palm leaves and fed me peeled grapes.

Alas, I am sitting in my living room, staring at this blog screen, desperately trying to ignore the ever increasing inches of snow that are accumulating outside. Last we checked, (useing the scientific method of letting the dog outside to potty and noting how far she sank before she half doggied paddled half leapt back into the house) there were 22 inches and the snow is still falling like rain.

God, I HATE winter! I see skiers, and I shudder. Snow boarders are insane. Sled riding is just an excuse to get snow down your pants, and snowmen are evil. Seriously. Look at their smiles. They are always crooked, and how can you trust anyone, frozen or otherwise that has that long a nose? Doesn't anyone remember Pinnocchio?

Anyway, we have almost 2 feet of snow on the ground, and there is no end in sight. Well, the end is in sight, it's just 12 hours away. My car is a distant memory. I think it's red and has tires, but it's been so long since I have seen them, I'm working from memory. The thought of digging out from all this makes my head hurt.

But I can worry about that tomorrow. For now, I will just be grateful that I am in a warm place, doing something I love to do. This blogging thing is a pretty neat. I'm sure that as time passes, I will have all kinds of things posted here, good, bad, and ugly. But for now, I will be content to ramble a bit.

And for the record, I have been eating grapes this whole time!
