I’m done.<\/p>\n
With winter, that is. <\/p>\n
Normally, I’m the last one to whine about the cold, or the snow, or whatever. I like <\/span>snow, and the cold doesn’t bother me much (unless I can’t have a hot shower – then it really freakin’ pisses me off<\/span>). But this has been a long winter, even for New England, and I’m just about ready for some warmer weather. I’d like to be able to walk to work without having to put on 3 layers of clothing, y’know?<\/p>\n This morning was a particularly good example. The temperature outside was 18 degrees, and the wind chill was -11. Farenheight. Yeah. Thankfully, because of some snow, Amanda went into work late, and thus I was able to hitch a ride from her. <\/p>\n Anyway, I’m ready for spring now. So, Mother Nature, if you’re reading this… *wink wink, nudge nudge*<\/p>\n Peace, y’all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m done. With winter, that is.
