After so many years in the sunny desert, I've forgotten what it feels like to experience the first snow of the season! This is surely the first time I can remember enjoying a moment like this as I took it for granted growing up in the very snowy upstate area of New York.
I remember always dreading this time of year because all it meant to me was slippery road conditions, scraping the windshield, and shoveling the driveway. But now that I don't have any of those responsibilities and it doesn't really snow much here, I really embraced every giant, fluffy snowflake that landed on my brow as I walked home from work last Friday night. In fact, I was so excited that I ordered a pizza feast (stuffed crust Hawaiian, garden salad, and oven spaghetti), rented two of the best Christmas movies ever: Home Alone 1 AND 2, and headed over to Jee's house for some quality girl time.
Although the air was chilly, I had my MP3 player and a list of Christmas tunes, an Italian feast, and Jee to keep my spirits warm. Who knew I would come to love the snow! I guess I'll have to just wait until our first "out of the blue" snow storm. Then all of those happy feelings may melt along with the slushy snow!
