omg snow: the sequel
Jan. 6th, 2004 04:49 pmJust got back from a glorious walk. Bundled up (though wish had hat) until I felt like the little brother in A Christmas Story and trundled on out. It was simply gorgeous! Yes, I know. It's just snow and you'd think I'd never seen it before in my life, but that's kind of how I feel. I've never lived anywhere it's snowed (except Chicago and that doesn't count because I was a drooling infant).
Made snowballs; threw them randomly. Chatted with this lovely woman and her neighbor's dog, Susie. Susie is skittish about strangers, so the conversation was short lived, but as all Seattle-ites apparently do, we quickly discussed the Winter of 96.
Walked up and around 23rd until I did a classic banana peel slip-and-fall, and because it was like falling into a tub of non-sticky-cold-cotton-candy, I avoided a concussion, guffawed, got up and walked on. It was starting to snow heavier so I eventually decided to come home.
That bus that's been there all day has finally been rescued!
Checked mail and found that Season Six X-files are HERE! I thought I'd screwed up and had them sent to my old address in LA. But not so!! Tonight I will be watching X-files and completely freaking myself out! Yay!
I've ordered a meatball grinder from Soprano's Pizza who are still somehow managing to deliver food. I brought up the extra bottles of water from the car since I'm constantly parched due to the Sudafed (which I didn't really need, and thus didn't take today!). I'm not as congested, hyper as a four year old and didn't kill Hobbes when I accidentally sat on him because he'd burrowed under the duvet!
Wow. Today? Is a good day.
