In case you aren't familiar with my other weather posts go >>HERE<< and >>HERE<<
You will see that the two of us don't have the most wonderful relationship.

When winter 'started' (I say 'started' because the calendar says that winter stars December 21st, but the weather outside dictates otherwise) I was angry. How DARE it be WINTER???
I hate snow. Well...
I hate COLD. If it were possible to have snow without cold, I wouldn't mind snow nearly as much.
I am one of those people who's emotions tend to change a bit with the weather. For example, if it's sunny and warm, I will probably be in a happy, 'sunny' mood. If it's cloudy and cold and grey, then I will probably be either depressed, grumpy, or both.

Sun makes me happy. Seriously. When it's warm and sunny and nice, I can't help smiling.
WINTER MAKES ME DEPRESSED.
And I don't like being depressed. FYI.
(actually, the only thing that makes me un-depressed when it's freezing and snowy, is a cup of Chai tea and a good book)

BUT, today, it was sunny! And WARM! I could go for a walk in just a sweater! So I did. And I went to the only place I ever walk to....the library.
Walking down to the library, listening to Pride and Prejudice music on my iPod, I felt positively joyous! There was sun! And warm! The snow was MELTING! My music was happy! I was wearing my favorite boots and a funky jean jacket! I was UNSTOPPABLE.
(well probably not. I can think of several things that could have stopped me; A moving train, a nuclear explosion, a shot in the foot, a flood, a tornado, a blizzard, an elephant....)

I was in a fabulous mood until I was about a block away from home, and I realized...

"Oh SHOOT. It's January. And it's Alberta. Which means, that this weather is just a blip, or a fluke, and by next week we will be drowning in snow again, because spring NEVER EVER comes in January here."

 We're lucky if the snow is all gone in April. So....That kind of dampened my mood ever so slightly. Because any day now, we're probably going to get a monster blizzard, to make up for lost....frozen-ness. Apparently it's a bad thing if my ears don't freeze when I'm walking to piano class.

I can't decide which is worse; No nice weather until summer (we only have two seasons here...Winter and Summer) or a taste of nice weather...followed by three months of COLD COLD COLD.

Weather, I will GET YOU.

I took some pictures to remember this nice-ness by.
Enjoy, dear readers.













P.S. Okay, that's just creepy. I logged onto Picnik.com to edit the pictures, and it says "Good evening, PrincessGwen!"

HOW DOES IT KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS HERE???

I'm sleeping in fear tonight that some picnik-y person will come and stab me with a loaf of french bread.

YIKES!
