ahh mother nature

i always find it amusing when texans, at least central texans (i cant speak for the rest of the state) when faced with some sort of winter weather, whether it be snow, ice, sleet, or all of the above mixed together; they have this persona where they just freak. they drop whatever they're doing and must stay home with only one venture out of the house: HEB (or their friendly neighborhood grocer, in this case being HEB. now i dont know if its the weather men that instill this fear, or if its just the fact that most people can count on one hand how many times they've seen such weather in texas. that may be the case im not sure. but its funny to venture into the grocery store and see the whole place picked over like GAP outlet on tax free weekend...and thats saying something. so anyways....i know we got ice and sleet but im pretty sure we didnt get snow in college station...seeing as how i ventured out sunday evening after i arrived in town, and monday afternoon both to get books for the semester....so today i experienced what my dad referred to as "cabin fever." haha never heard of that one but i guess it is what it is. so today i ventured out about 30 feet to de-ice my car, all half inch thick coating of it....that was actually fun....hope it ices during finals wk in may so i can relieve some stress!! i did however manage to salvage the cast off my side mirror....its in the freezer as we speak (we'll see how long it lasts)....2 days out of school...supposed to start yesterday but we wont start tomorrow so an extra 2 days was ok....if u want 2nd half mizzou trip details, head on over to my fellow blogger's site www.jhellums.blogspot.com ...and for the new Sizzle n JMizzle single head on over to our myspace

until next time...peace and love
