I couldn't bare it anymore and had to deck my halls a week ago. Now I'm just patiently waiting for snow. Only I'm not doing a very good job being patient about it. I WANT SNOW!
My birthday is Wednesday and I've told everyone that the only present I want is snow. But, it looks like it's supposed to be a bright sunny day so no snow for me. Boo!
Oh, Five Guys! We just got one here, and when I stopped for lunch on a whim--WOW! I ended up bursting into the condo with a greasy bag of french fries, yelling "YOU HAVE TO TRY THESE FRIES!!" Scared Ben half to death.
