One Weeked to the Next

This weekend was freakin' gorgeous. We spent some time at the park with the kids and figured we'd take Wheeze to the dog park since she was doin' nothin' but pissin' our other dogs off.... I hated the dog park. People wanna talk to you and pick up your dog. Because she's a puppy, I guess they assume they have the right to do that. Then, you got little kids bendin' over and touchin' your dog without askin' and when you tell 'em they shouldn't because your dog likes to claw and snap at people that get in her face because she's just a puppy and they, nor their stupid ass parents, listen and then they act all surprised when said puppy jumps up and claws the kid's face.....yeah, well....you see where I'm goin'. All I had to say was...."I told you...maybe you shoulda listened". Outside of all the idiots that were at the park, it was really nice. It was good to see the boy actually outside gettin' some exercise....a...

Finally. Snow.

Growin ' up, we always had a "snow day" or two every single year. We'd watch the news until the last minute before our bedtime, prayin ' that our school would be on the list of school closings and the second we saw it was, we headed for bed anxious for the next day to get here already. We'd get up at the ass crack of dawn and start layerin ' the shit out of our clothes. We'd put ziploc baggies over our socks before we put on our shoes and then we'd head for the garage to grab a trash can lid so we could hit the hill in the neighbor's yard. We'd stay out for HOURS. Our fingers would damn near be fallin ' off by the time we got back in. The thawin ' out process was excruciating , but as soon as we had a bowl of ramen in our bellies and had somewhat regained the feelin ' in our fingers, we headed right back out. Man those were the days. Now, whenever snow's mentioned on the news, it's in the EXTREME northern part of the s...

I Got A Bad Case of Spring Fever....

....and as it turns out, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow . SIX MORE FREAKIN' WEEKS OF WINTER. Psht. Winter, schminter. We don't get winter here anymore. If it would actually get cold here and actually SNOW here, I would be all for six more weeks of winter. However, no matter what the stupid weatherman says, winter weather continues to elude us. Winter so far has just been kinda chilly and just dries the hell out of my skin. There's nothin' like layin' in bed and all of a sudden gettin' that pin prick itch feeling of dry skin on your back just outta reach AND the awesomeness of a dry face that just wants to peel and look all nasty. I hate you Georgia winters....you do NOTHING for me. I remember when I was a kid, we had snow days every year. Remember those? We'd put on long johns and two pair of pants, 3 shirts, wrap our feet in ziplock bags and put on 3 pairs of socks and head outside where we'd stay until the snot had frozen to our faces and our gloves...
