It Finally Stopped.

This is how I know I am an adult…

Posted on January 20, 2016 by

The word “blizzard” does not fill me with the slightest bit of joy.  As of this morning, the National Weather Service issued a Blizzard Watch for my area for the weekend. I don’t hate snow – when it’s in reasonable amounts. … Continue reading →
