Its All About the Snow

It's supposed to come a big 'gullywhomper' of a storm today and tonight. Snow, ice, hail, sleet, and then more snow. As well as locusts, the plague, and Jimmy Hoffa. It's been travelling west to east, following I-40 from one coast to the other, which--the great weatherman oracle insists--guarantees us huge gobs of accumulation.

Well, all I can say is: I'll believe it when I see it.

Knoxville's not known for receiving the weather that's actually been predicted. As far back as, oh, ever. They say, "It's gonna rain cats and dogs!" We get nothing. "Fifteen feet of snow's coming!" Nothing. "Nice sunny, warm day today!" Thunderstorm. Or snow. Or perhaps both.

You're getting the picture, I'm assuming. :/

I'll update the comments periodically, just to let y'all know the outcome of this latest wintry- blast prediction. Who knows, maybe this one will actually pan out.

And maybe...maybe there's a Wolverine in my backyard.

To Remind You of How Special You Are

You are no burden
You bring a world of wonderment and joy
To those who see your soul
Battles may be fought, and lost,
But you know how to survive
And come back from chaos
Strong, with the determined spark of
Success in your eye
And hope in your heart
You've learned the hard way that
People can be cruel,
Life can be unfair,
Words can destroy, and
Love can die
You should never have had to learn that lesson
It reflects, sometimes, in your eyes
What I wouldn't give to banish that look
And bring the stars back to life when you smile
You can lose all the anger and fear
If you don't let them take you
It takes courage, and will, and faith--
Which you have more of than you think--
And if you need more, here.
Mine are yours to have...

Because I love you.

Back In Black

Houston, we have Internet.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

Finally, finally, we were able to get the software we needed to get it working again, thank you Dell. We have a lot to add back to the favorites and stuff, but we can talk!

BC, I missed you too, and I'll see you at Seven, hopefully tomorrow. If not me, then L will be there.

Welshie, if you'd like to come to Seven, please do, it's much quieter than the Castle, and we have a good time! And if you feel like it, you can email me. :)

Everybody else, I'll see you at Seven, and in email, and wherever else we can.

It's so GOOD to be back online. :D

**************************

SS, baby, I have missed talking to you so much. Hope everything's well in your world. Let me know how you are, ok? Sending you love, hugs, hot chocolate, a blanket, and the stars.

My heart to yours, always.

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Still no Internet. Will probably get it back next week. Thank Heavens for the library, although ti takes a minor miracle to get to use a computer.

Anyway, I'll talk to y'all again before next week.

Take care, I love you all and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
