I wanna wash my hands, my feet and hair in snow...gah.

Today was a very long day. Didn't get much sleep, got in to work at 8:15 am, left work at 9:40 pm...so i'm pretty tired, as I sit here eating rice with a slice of American Cheese on top. Apparently when you're that tired, you can only think of really weird things to eat! Also because I'm this tired I'm kinda weirdo loopy, so BE PREPARED!
Thanks to my roommate that shares my wall, I apparently am not going to talk about sports. WAH? That's my life, right? Oh yeah, and High School Musical, Twilight and being LOUD! hahahha No, I'm going to talk about something that stresses us midwesterners...us CRAZY PEOPLE every day...and actually those poor people in the east coast and omg ALABAMA as well!

SNOW!

Here I am in February of 2007, awkwardly sitting on a pile of snow at lovely Luther College. I was crazy. I was SMILING. WHA? I had just spent 3.5 weeks on the beaches of Hawaii, tanning and being super lazy and happy in the sun while all the crazy people in the midwest got PUMMELED with snow. I get back and I miss the snow. Oh yeah, and 2 weeks later, I had to go from Demoines Iowa to Decorah in the most horrific snow storm I have ever seen. It took a normal 3 hour drive 8 HOURS...At one point I couldn't see the road very well, so I asked a friend to look out the window. The response: "Uh, you're actually almost in a cornfield." Yeah, snow does not agree with me AT ALL, even though I am crazy and decide to drive through storms!
But that's what we are like, us Midwesterners. We like to put ourselves through pain. We like it when a HUGE storm comes in. Hey, if an inch of snow fell in...let's say Florida, everything would be shut down for a week! Here, we maybe will have school cancelled one day if a foot of snow falls. We are TOUGH. And we have this positive spirit that alot of people just don't have. Hey, I gotta say I like it.
Even though, i would LOVE for the snow to only stick around two weeks before Christmas and maybe a week after, I can live with it. It makes things exciting. Hey, I would much rather have crazy snow storms than a hurricane. We can get through this snow...it will be around for 4 more months at LEAST, but hey we will have fun.
We are CRAZY, but hey we have fun. Now, I'm going to go look out at the cold, miserable, bare and dead looking scenery and just think: HEY, the sun will come back in JUNE, and it will be okay! :)
