Alright, it didn’t snow on Dec. 3 when I made that Xanga post, but I
can safely say it’s SNOWING now. This makes for a happy Matt. Now,
Happy Matt only exists when he’s somewhere safe and watching the snow.
When Happy Matt gets in his car and drives, he becomes Nervous Matt and
Nervous Matt was out in full force when he drove his girlfriend to her
job. What was normally a 5-7 minute drive turned into a horrendous 25
minute drive complete with spinning tires, huge snowplows, idiot
teenage drivers, frozen windshield wipers, and a lot of praying.
But… tomorrow, it’ll be a beautiful and glorious day with white
everywhere. It’ll be so bright you will have to squint your eyes to
see. Kids will pull out their sleds and go sledding swathed in their
warm winter wardrobe. Puzzled dogs will hop through the 4 inches or so
of snow, panting with snow sticking to their matted fur. Adults who are
young at heart will lie down and make snow angels. At night, the houses
with decorated Christmas lights will glow brightly. Rudolph’s red nose
will be prominent. Fireplaces will be set ablaze with warm, comforting
heat. Everybody will snuggle in their warm beds, pulling their blankets close, dreaming gentle dreams.
Welcome, winter. You’ve been missed.

Do you know what really stinks? All of the Cook County toboggan slides are closed, including Swallow Cliff.

I looked outside to see how grandpa_b was doing. He was shoveling and I was surprised to see the 8 or 9 inches of snow in the swath he was cutting. Our upstairs neighbor told him he was nuts. The plows will come at midnight. “Yes,” he said, “but we have to get out early.” They did come in the middle of the night, snowblowed our sidewalk all the way up to the door and the driveways were plowed too. Grandpa needed the exercise anyway.

Christmas is coming and I just hit you with a snowball!
This is the beginning of Snowball Fight 2005!!
The only rule is no hitting someone who already hit you…and no hitting in the ear…we all know that hurts.
Have fun hitting your friends 🙂
