Sounds Delicious!

Apparently we're about to be spanked by a weather system. A "wintry mix" is supposed to be in the area tonight through tomorrow night. It's not supposed to be as bad here as other places but still. It could be icy which is icky.

A wintry mix. That is so deceiving! It sounds delicious. It sounds like a blend of fruits or vegetables like a Californian blend. Can I substitue the rice for the wintry mix? It sounds like a cocktail mix were all you add is brandy and ta da! A delicious totty to enjoy by the fire whilest you burn the yule log.

It does not sound like something that reeks havoc on roadways and causes inconvenience. It's something that when you hear it you think, "Ah crime in Italy!" The name does not illude to what is on the horizon. They should come up with a new name for it. Something like hell mix. "expect a hell-ish mix of precipitation today cause we're gonna get slammed by freezing rain then snow! Oh and expect temperatures to plummet to -15 before the wind chill! Have a great Tuesday and back to you Suzy!"

Weather is not something that needs a positive spin. Sure no one wants to hear about the hurricane swirling off the coast but a hurricane is a hurricane. Do you think people give a rip if they alleviate global warming if their house just got ripped off the foundation? No.

Wintry mix just does not do it justice. That's all I'm saying. There is a better description for it out there. I don't know what it is but it's there.

Anyway, I was googling myself (hehe that sounds so dirty!) cause I realized I haven't printed some articles off and was trying to find them. Anyway. There were a couple hits for some WNBA player and of couse the singer. None for me which was a little sad but I got over it. I decided to listen to the infamous "God Bless America" since if any one over the age of 65 says anything about my name they ask if I can sing that song. It's not clever! And NO! I do not sing! Well, I do just horribly. Is it shameful I wasn't exactly wow-ed by it? Sure it was good but it wasn't like her voice could make a person weep. All that hype for nothing. Kind of a let down.

Old people also sing some song that I've never heard too. My grandpa used to do it all the time. He doesn't any more which is a little sad and part of me wishes he'd whip it out one of these days. I should google that song! Some old dude, or maybe it was a dudette, sang it at the grocery store sometime last year.

Whoa. That is one old ass song! It talks about going to France to fight the Kaiser. Hello World War I!

Alright I got homework to do. Down to the two week mark, holla!
