Oh Snow!

Today was nice... Woke up at 11:30, showered, then went and got delicious cheese steaks. With onions and hot peppers and cheese fries. So yummy! Then came back and went out to play in the snow with the child Sarah.

I was out there in a t shirt, roomie jacket, coat, jeans, and Etnies. Smart snow outfit? Nope. I had gloves that were ten sizes too big, but I got to feel what it's like to have big hands. So Sarah and I went goofing around in the backyard for a bit until we realized there was a huge pile of plowed snow in the culdesac right down the street. Screw the back yard... let's go to the street. So we ran around and found that some kids dug tunnels through the biggest pile. I fell through a few times :|

But we did make a fun snowman. I intended it to be much taller, like, person sized, but my feet were getting really cold and I was tired and so it comes up to about... the lowest ribs on my torso. Nice and short and with girly eyes. It was fun :) I don't think I ever built a snowman before.

Either way, we came home and thawed. The rest of the afternoon... I don't even remember. I think I took a nap somewhere in all of that. We just kind of bummed around the house. Dinner, some homework help, and some Brawl in the evening. Now, I'm sitting here in the cold basement with Little Italy whining about his Munny doll. I repainted my nails in the dotty blob style I did before... but instead of using my regular colors (black, blue, and green), I used black, green, and my new purple. Well, the purple is about as dark as the black and hardly shows up :|

Oh well. So when I took my short nap today, I had an awesome dream that I was at the nature preserve. It was dark out and decently chilly and I was wearing my green jacket. You could see the stars! Really bright and there were tons of them. I was walking around and for some reason, I got bored and went back to my car. On the hood was a daisy. Before I could pick it up, I woke up. :| Balls, I just wanted that daisy. No one ever gets me flowers. I remember once I went on a mission with Scott to do stuff for Jamie and when we got to her house, he left her a sunflower on her doorstep and sent a text to look outside. That's sweet. I never had that.

Ugh, enough remembering. I'll sing "You Would Have Loved This" on Christmas Eve. I swear. I'll sing it as I lay on the hearth with the dying fire behind me, the lights dimmed down, and the faint smell of espresso in the air. The sounds of poker and drunk people coming from the other room. A belly full of chocolate covered pretzels and seafood salad and oysters and pasta and more. A head full of memories.
