We're off to Kansas City to visit Julie's family in a few hours. I'm putting on my big smile for the next four days.
The snow has finally stopped falling. We had a mix of rain and snow yesterday, and the roads are better. There's still snow around our house, but by the time we return to Seattle it should be gone. The temperature is fighting its way into the forties, and will remain there hopefully for the rest of the winter. This winter wonderland has been entertaining, but I'm ready to return to the gray, misty Seattle winters I know and pretend to love.
I decided to break up my two negative Horribles. Here's an optimistic one--unless you see through my fake happiness (known via Ally McBeal as smile therapy).
I came down with a cold a few days ago. I'm mighty congested and sneezing, but otherwise fine. It's a strange cold, one that I hope passes soon.
It's two days of happiness. Beautiful weather is so much more beautiful after months of miserable weather. I can't wait until this is common and I'm looking forward to the rain. Oh, wait. I never do that.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes!
We found a great vegetarian Taiwanese place last night in Kirkland: Happy Cafe. They have vegetarian pork buns that taste like pork buns! We haven't had pork buns in quite a while. Julie bought a whole package to make at home (fun fact: pork buns taste better when microwaved than steamed).
The rain has returned and with it the blues. I love how my life is controlled by storm systems.
