2010 - The year we freeze to death...

Somewhere under all the white stuff there is another world. A world with sidewalks, streets, grass and no need for layers. The sun shines. The birds chirp. And I can go walking without going numb from the waist down. I assume all this, of course. It's been so long since I've seen this world that I'm starting to doubt it's existence.

Ok, I need happy thoughts... *deep breath* .... snuggling, sledding, White Christmas', ice skating, skiing, snow days, hot chocolate... We'll be okay.
