Sippin Bailey's at 3:20am at the height of a snowstorm...

Ah, just delightful! I am just unbelievably relaxed...have been since last night...after running around ALL day yesterday. What a reward this is! It's POURING snow outside...finally...after a frustratingly slow buildup. I'd be AMAZED if we actually got the double-digit totals they'd been breathtakingly predicting the past 24 hours, but at the same time, it's not out of the question. So, so, SO great...the biggest snowstorm of the season arriving on the first of March, perhaps my favorite month roaring in like a lion.

I officially have become a lover of winter; i'd been a bit irritable that we hadn't gotten One Big Snowstorm, so this makes me happy...with the added bonus that it's irritating so many who irritatingly wanna rush into spring. I like March to be an unpredictable beast, thank you. I'm not ready for winter to be over JUST yet. I LIKE hunkering down in a warm house with comforting, hearty meals...reading, tinkering, not feeling guilty if I don't leave the house all day, not being tied to endless warm-weather social obligations. Allow me March and even some of April to slowly work myself up to the joys of summer. Because that's then, and this is now, and I don't wanna rush.

*PS, it's 3:50am and almost blizzard-like outside now. A wind-whipped sea of white! GLORIOUS! Time for more Bailey's....
