Flaking Out

So the weather guy was promising us a blizzard today. Surprisingly, he was kinda right. We actually have been given a huge ice-storm that has given my work an hour delay in the morning and canceled school for two days in a row. Yippee, right? Yeah, kinda. The storm was enough to get us a few snow-days, but the 12 inches of snow we were supposed to get on top was reduced to 1; though we got all the benefits of the blizzard, we didn't actually get the snow.

While this shouldn't have mattered to us in any kind of huge way, it did. In fact, as we watched the cowardly news casters speak of their relief at the receding clouds we plummeted into sadness and even felt a little depressed. I'm serious too, we actually felt sad and pretty down in the dumps. It was kinda crazy how much the little kid inside came out in both us. We were promised snow, and darn it, we wanted it!

Anyway, snow or no, we did end up getting to spend the day wrapped up in blankets inside reading, playing games, and watching TV. It was good day all in all, but I really would have loved some snow.

Don't toy with my emotions, Weatherman, don't toy with my emotions.
