I love storms

I've always known I'm a little different from my friends, especially with my weather preferences.  My friends love sun.  They love summer.  They hate snow and rain.

I'm the exact opposite.  While an occasional sunny day is fine, I love storms.  They remind me that I'm not alone.  They remind me that someone is in Heaven watching over me.  Every raindrop and snowflake is like a hug or a kiss from my loving God, or from loved ones who have passed on.  I never feel alone when it's stormy.  

I know the rays of the sun are supposed to make you happy, and that more people are depressed in the winter than in the summer.  I'm the exact opposite.  I'm happiest in the winter, and the summer months depress me.  I don't exactly know why that is.   

Here's to wishing for a good storm this afternoon.

    It's because sweaters are awesome and we don't look that great in shorts. :-)

Best of 2022

 We're only through two months of 2022, but that doesn't mean the good reads have stopped! This year I've read some excellent books. My favorites include: 11/22/63 by Stephen King In an Instant by Suzanne Redfearn You'd Be Home Now by Kathleen Glasgow Some of these might get bumped off the list before December of this year. What books should I add to my to-read stack?

New Most Embarrassing Moment

Tonight Rob was warming up for his hockey game, so I was home alone. I heard a loud knock at the door, and looked through the peephole to see who it was. I didn't recognize the man, so I just stood there silently and realized that my door wasn't locked. He'd know I was home if he heard me lock the door (which obviously would be horrible). So obviously I just left it unlocked. After he rang the doorbell to no answer, he opened my door. I was pretty proud of how quickly I was able to slam the door shut and turn the deadbolt. I started thinking of the things in the room that would double as a weapon, but then I heard him call out, "It's the maintenance guy." Whoops. At least we'll get a working furnace out of the ordeal.

Today I was Responsible

Went to class, didn't text during a single one. Ate leftovers for lunch with the Mister. Went to my work meeting, and told too many jokes (I'll take 1/2 credit). Finished my resume so I can apply for teaching internships.  What has marriage done to me?
