Snow Day!

Ever realize that as you get older fun things no longer seem fun?

Case in point: snow days!

For those of you who paid attention to my Christmas special, you may have picked up on the tiny detail that I live in Washington State. Yup, land of all things green, gray, and wet…and muddy…and foggy…and terrible.

Nah really I love it up here, but what I don’t like is the weather.

Seriously, this state has to be one of the few where the weatherman is paid to constantly get the weather wrong. You can’t trust any app or site to give you an accurate forecast! Just rest assured blue skies AND rain will most likely happen at some point. Can’t have it consistent, oh no that would be asking too much!

But anyways, I got off track here, what was I talking about? Oh yes, snow! So it actually rarely snows in my part of Washington due to the weird fact that we live right next to the ocean or something sciencey like that…not sure why the ocean has to be so restrictive or whatever.

But lo and behold, we got snow this year! And wouldn’t you know it, I hated it! Like, snow days as kids means no school, hot chocolate, movies, snowball fights, snowmen, and a winter wonderland!

As an adult? Well you get the privilege of wondering what to do with your kids since they aren’t confined in their schools anymore, shovel yourself halfway to a heart attack so you can get out of your driveway, worry about your spouse getting to her office in her piece of crap truck that should have died years ago BUT JUST CLINGS TO LIFE WITH ALL THAT IT HAS, and of course, “play” in the snow.

By that I mean you get to shovel the snow into the buckets for the neighborhood kids to build a fort with. Oh yeah, and it’s just about as much fun as the shoveling I mentioned up above. On top of that, after all that hard work of shoveling and making snow blocks into a cool fort, some a**hole kids came and knocked it down when we went back inside for lunch. Like, EXCUSE ME?! I put blood sweat and tears into that thing ya little punks! Catch me outside, I dare you!

Just realized that it’s probably not best to threaten possible minors with violence on a very public blog…

Er, catch me outside and I will politely tell you why you are all doo doo heads!

There, nailed it.

So that part kinda sucked…but overall, I gotta day, it was a swell day.

And wouldn’t you know it, we make a pretty half decent snowman.

Stay classy, stay safe, STAY WARM, and, above all else,

Stay grumpy.
