If you like snow...you may as well move to Minnesota. No, seriously. The winter in this state is ridiculous. I've pretty much had it up to my eyeballs with snow (or in snow, as the case may be sometimes...). I think we've had three major blizzards...and by blizzard, I mean over a foot of snow over the course of the day (that should seriously be outlawed). It's just plain goofy.
I don't know if my hatred for blizzards stems from the fact that I have to be the goon standing outside on a street corner in -20* temps telling people it's cold outside...or if a foot of snow is just really too much for any one person to handle...but when it really comes down to it...I like all that snow (in smaller doses).
Ok, it's not so much the snow...but the four seasons.
I can't imagine living in a place like California. For starters, my boobs aren't nearly big enough, I could start a fire in a library with my thighs, and bleach blonde hair probably wouldn't look so good on my olive skin...but even if I could fit in there, I'm not sure I'd want to. I like snow, I like trees with colorful leaves (something Montana lacked), I like the smell of sunshine, when the snow starts to melt away and birds start chirping in the trees. I love the resurgence of flowers in the Spring, and the crunch of fallen leaves beneath my feet in the fall. I love making snow angels, and sledding and snow shoeing (though, let me tell you, it's harder than it looks). I love the cool crisp air of fall, and heaping cups of hot apple cider. I love tromping through a pumpkin patch, sleigh rides, sun-kissed shoulders, and brown paper packages tied up with string (ha...I couldn't help myself).
What would life be like with only sunshine? Dull. Uninteresting. Boring. Not for me.
In order to appreciate the ups, you have to have the downs...and trust me, that sundress seems like the Holy Grail in the middle of a Minnesota winter. The concept of not having to look like a marshmallow every where you go, sounds amazing. Ahhhhhh yes, I can appreciate the flip flops, after being forced to wear boots for 8 months of the year. And you can rest assured that the thought of being in a bikini in a week and a half sounds absolutely phenomenal, after looking like an eskimo for so long.
I hate the blizzards - but I love what they mean. I live in a 4-season state...and if I just hunker down for a little while, Spring will be here before I know it ;)
I live in a state that has all four seasons...
And I'm thankful for that ;)
