December Rain

The weather man predicted rain today with a mix of snow.  So far, we have had a day full of rain but thankfully no snow....yet.  The stores were busy as they always are when they predict snow.  I guess people think they are going to be stranded inside for days and are preparing for such an ocassion.  If they looked at the extended forecast, they would realize that it is only for a day.  I don't mind the rain but I don't particularly like the cold.  Hot cocoa anyone?

Jinxed

So, my last blog was about the rain and snow.  Since then, we have had lots of rain and Saturday it is predicted that we will have a snow mixture.  I guess the lesson should be, watch out what you talk about because it could come true.  The same happened at work.  I told myself it was going to be a busy day.  I ended up having to work a little late in order to get stuff done.  So, once again, I jinxed myself.  Think it will work if I say I am going to be rich?

Rainy Day

This picture is about as far away from today's weather as I can get.  We have definitely had our share of rain this year.  Of course, I am not going to complain as there are other states that have had snow.  Growing up in Utah and living in Denver for 5 years, I feel like I have had enough snow to last a lifetime.  That is one of the reasons I just love Virginia.  We do not get a lot of snow here compared to those other states.  The one thing I have noticed though is that we get ice.  I never thought I would go out to my car and have the side of it completely frozen shut with no way to get into it until it thawed out some.  Those are the days that you pray the office is closed so you can go back in and curl up in front of a fire and read a book.  So I say, c'mon rain; you're better than the snow!!!  And to the summer....we will see you next year!
