Ode to the Pegster*

And another blizzard rages outside today. It's considered a "wintery mix," meaning snow mixed with freezing rain. Awesome. I definitely didn't see this kind of world in Arizona. We never had school cancelled because of snow in the land of 120 degrees. We did, however, get school cancelled once because the air conditioner died. I'm sure these kids here in Maine don't get THAT sort of perk. So, uh, nyah, nyah, nah, nyah, nyah.

It's just before 6 a.m. Not my normal wake-up hour. But I got up to go to the bathroom and couldn't get back to sleep. The brain wouldn't shut the heck up. So here I am, on the computer, wishing I was still snuggled under the down comforter during this "wintery mix." I'm going to get you yet, Brain! (I'm waving my fist in the air. Can you picture it? Or me in my coat and a hat in this room that gets no heat? Laughing yet?)

Above is a pic from the area we visited last weekend, pre-blizzard. We took a road trip into New Hampshire, looking for houses. Pretty, ain't it? No? That's just because you're still picturing me in my coat and beanie typing on a computer before 6 a.m.

*Told you I'd dedicate this to you.
