Ode to a blizzard

At first of snow I thought, 'Neat!
A wonderful wintry treat!'
But now I have seen several feet
And as my feet slip on sleet,

I think perhaps I was wrong...

Its supposed to be warm, lovely spring.
But flowers this March 1st won't bring.
No birds and no bees.
No blooms on the trees.

Instead lots of snow
And winds that will blow
my car into a ditch.
Winter, my dear, you're a bitch.

I am very bored.
The kind of bored that pisses you off.
The kind of bored that makes you really lazy.
The kind of bored that makes you not want to do anything that could cure the boredom.
It is 9:30 in the morning and I am already bored bored bored.
Bored and lonely.
Isolated.
Tolerated.
Yuck!

Why today rocked

1. I was thanked by a colleague for my 'fine teaching' and told that all the higher ups were "quite pleased by my teaching efforts".

2. I had a really fantastic recital run-through. At least I know I can do it. Whether I will or not seems less important now.

3. I found my lost glasses. The cat had hidden them neatly INSIDE my printer.

4. I was informed that I am Charleston's top choice for a flute substitute, and should I move there permanently, I could expect to play somewhat frequently.

5. My baby had a day that rocked.

6. I ate Chocolate Cookie Dough Ice Cream.

7. My accompanist is coming.

Me Stuff

I can only faithfully dedicate myself to one television show at a time. Currently that show is Grey's Anatomy.

I love cranberry sauce. I even tried to have some with pasta and tomato sauce this week.

I hate talking on the phone, but getting a call from a friend will make my day.

I worry about other people's predicaments so much I sometimes forget about my own.

When I'm reading an 'Oprah Book Club' book on a plane, I try to hide the O on the cover if I'm sitting next to another guy.

When I go shopping I always take a list, but I have NEVER left with only the things on it.

I am a certified UNhandyman.

I had no idea what love was like until I fell in it.

I don't sing in the shower unless I've had alcohol.

When there's nothing to do, I get horny.

Going overseas changed my life for the better. I think it was worth every penny and I will probably spend a lot of my income on travel.

I know who I am.

I believed in Santa Claus until I was in third grade.

I can not make chinese left-overs last over 24 hours whether I am truly hungry or not.

When I see myself in the future I am always taller and thinner than I am now, with salt and pepper hair, and a deep tan. I am always happy.

I am terrified that I don't know things most people my age should know: tax stuff, house stuff, life stuff.

I detest hunting and hunters.

I love meat.

I constantly worry people will see me as someone I am not.

I need sleep...lots of sleep.

I am never more uncomfortable than when I am doing something I have never done before.

I believe in my talent, but that has only happened recently.

I like to think I can help solve every problem, but I know I can't.

Sometimes at home I don't wash my hands after I pee, but I will run the water and count to five by the towel so people will think I did.

I still get embarrassed sometimes if a guy asks me what I do for a living.

I have no idea what I look like.

I've taken a lot of shit.

I love coffee.

My friends are fantastic.

My life is blessed.
