So. sick. of. snow.

I'm so over winter. If I never heard the words "blizzard" or "bone-chilling" the rest of my life, I would be A-OK. Just last night, we were under a blizzard warning. Several of the interstates and highways were closed, impassable because of snow drifts. School was closed, even up here! I think the last I heard, students already have six snow days to make up. And it's not even February yet! Dear sweet Old Man Winter, gimme a break!


How is the weather in Texas? Warmer than here, I imagine. Enjoy it for me, dear Lone Star State friends.

Annoying word I hear up here in the Corn

I hear many people up here say "acrost" instead of "across" and it bothers me so much! C'mon people, acrost isn't a word. I don't know if it's a regional thing (like "y'all"), but it takes everything in me not to correct those using this made-up word. Instead I hold my tongue.

So if you're guilty of this, please take note -- it's A-C-R-O-S-S!
