You might have noticed by now that I love snow. What I don't love, however, is trying to get around in snow. And it makes me sad...because I remember the uninhibited joy of snow days when I was younger and didn't think anything of cajoling my parents to take me to the nearest hill. But now I know the loveliness of trying to drive when your windshield wipers don't quite wipe the entire windshield, when your tires slip on roads that still haven't been cleared three days after the fact, when you spend ten minutes scraping the ice off the windows smelling car exhaust and being consistently 15 minutes short of the time you'd like to be at work. Now, I'll put up with this because I do really adore snow. I love to go sledding, and I'm waiting for another American Beauty snow...

Oh, and happy 23rd birthday to Elijah Wood.
