brrr!

We had another ice storm yesterday. I think that's the fourth time this winter that it has literally rained ice--not hail, not sleet--I suppose it could be called freezing rain, but that somehow doesn't do it justice. Everything gets thickly coated with ice. I love the look of the trees--it looks like they've been dipped in molten glass, then

Yay! That sounds so wonderful! I can't wait to live there! And I think we'll be arriving at the perfect time for me to adjust... Spring! Everything will be starting to grow back (well, maybe muddy, but about to start to grow back) and I'll get to have my first non-Southern California summer and then gradually get into the cold starting with a beautiful Fall! I'll be a live-in Leaf peeper! Then I'll get to deal with the cold and the shoveling and the frost bitten ears and the ice picking of my car door!

But seriously, I can't fucking wait to get there!

Oh, and on a side note: Do you and Aaron refer to Athena and I as "Michael and Athena" as you did in this post, or "Athena and Michael"? I have this theory of how people say couples names and it has nothing to do with whom they've known longer or who's the male/female. Let me know so I can confirm my hypothesis.

Oh, and for the two of you my rule doesn't count because you have the same name. In fact, we never know who we say first unless we type it. Most of the time we just say, "The Erins" but I can't even really type it because it's not "The Erins" any more than it's "The Aarons". I should just start typing "The Æryns."

Dammit, you beat me to it!

Heh, yes, our charming mud season will welcome you. Sorry you'll miss Sugar On Snow, because you will LOVE that, but there's always next year.

Umm... I think I mostly say Michael and Athena; like, 75% of the time. It flows off the tongue (well, off the fingertips, I suppose) better, in my opinion. I think Aaron's more like 50/50 on how he says it. Does that help?

teehee, what does your theory do with our names?

[magicgoof]

Alright, so, my theory on how people say names is based on saying the name that ends with a soft sound (such as the "uh" sound in Athena) is always said more frequently last.

I'm glad you're still excited, baby! I am too!
