Snow Shmo

At the beginning of last week I got real good at sarcasm. You must understand I am not naturally good at sarcasm, in fact I really don't like it. The weather man (or men/women) kept predicting record amount of snow fall and below normal snow temperature. "snow schmo" I repeated, along with "ohh don't go outside and let's cancel school there is too much snow". In fact school, along with many other places of important operation, were canceled for the majority of the week... did I mention there was only an inch on the ground at that point. Welp lo and behold Thursday rolls around along with some grey clouds and manages to dump a record amount of snow in a matter of 5 days... only a week after the predicted Artic Blast 08 was supposed to roll thru. I might sound a tad frustrated at this... okay I am, but it's amazing how it manages to slow people down, in a good way. In this season when we are all caught up in getting that perfect gift or catching the right sale, some how the snow has managed to force people to worry less about consumerism and more about what's happening in front of them (or around them). Being from Colorado though, it is quite annoying that there is not a snow removal plan for this city. I am done with the snow, ready to go south.
Speaking of south, I am headed south and then east in 2 days. Yes I said it. I am moving to the southeast, and who knows for how long.
I will be an intern at a hospital doing child life therapy. Google it, if you don't know what it is. I will reunite with some of my best friends in whom I will be living with and taking in the southern life. I will keep you posted.
I would like to give Jenni from the block a shout out. Hey Jenni! Can't wait till you start writing again and why are you coming to Oregon when I am not going to be here? What the heck?!!?
Anyway I'll leave you all with my favorite snow moment of the week.



I really wanted to see someone plow through this. I waited and waited but as of right now it still stands. Maybe tomorrow.
