It's snowing again. Shhhh...don't tell anyone but...I love it. I don't care that it is almost April. It's not that I don't love Spring. I do. A lot.

I'm sure that's not true. My mom was known to crank some Diana Ross and also The 5th Dimension...hello, [...]

A random list and "You are What you Eat"

I've missed my lists. Here is a random one commemorating March 1.1. I love Winter. Snow. Cold. Layers of warm clothes to cover layers of fat and cellulite *maybe that one is just me*. Fireplace. Snuggle-kitties. But what I love most about Winter is Spring. Very often, at least here in the incredibly beautiful Commonwealth [...]
