Minus a three-year stint in Atlanta and missing the first two months of winter this year, I have always lived in a winter climate. Last year was the first year I made a public statement that I would not get blue-balled by March. It worked, or maybe I wasn't as upset about how cold it was because I got to use the term "blue-balled" all the time. However, I think the weather gods got pissed that I was trying to stop people from being tricked into thinking that March sun meant it was almost spring, and now they're trying to fuck with all of us. I didn't wear mittens this entire weekend (I happened to lose my mittens on Saturday, but that's beside the point). I had some hope in my heart. I saw visions of summer. I wore shoes as the snow melted away. I saw concrete and my heart swelled with springtime happiness and I almost allowed myself to believe that winter was coming to an end.
Seriously, weather gods, don't fuck with me. I know there are two more months frigid l'hiver misery. I'm buying another pair of mittens tomorrow and I might even get a pair of boots that don't leak.
