Snow?? WHERE??
I was so excited to fall asleep las night, I felt like I did when I was younger and I knew the next day was Christmas Eve. I fell asleep thinking about 1996 when we had such a horrible winter Corpus Christi was closed for what felt like forever and I would cry to my mom about how I wanted to go to school already.
We lived on a dead-end street back then and the snow plows had pushed all of the snow onto it. My next door neighbor who was more like a frenemy along with my brother spent hours sledding down the, what felt like huge to us, snow mounds left by the plows. It was so much fun. That was also the year, that I got to go outside on a school night and begin to play in the snow because my mom knew that there wouldn't be school the following day, over a foot of snow had already fallen.
It was a magical winter that year. And I think that as we grow older, we sometimes strive to get that magic back especially when events in the present-day remind us of what it was like back then. So, for me, it was largely disappointing to wake up to no snow followed a few hours later by a little dusting. They're saying we're going to get slammed today and by tomorrow have the 12 inches we were supposed to have today.
Still...so disappointed right now. I was looking forward to snow outside, the fireplace, snuggie and my praxis book on the inside. Whomp whomp.
