The snow is gone.  It's still cold. 

My nights are restless, and my days are long and muffled.  They seem useless.  Nothing ever gets done.  Nothing accomplished.  I feel like I'm treading impossible waters. 

I know everyone feels that way sometimes, and it's not really a bad feeling.  It just isn't a really good one either. 

If I could just get some sleep. 

These really good cups of coffee aren't helping my sleep patterns any, I'm sure.  But did I mention they're really good? 

"What's this life, anyway? 

What's it to you and me? 

What's it to anyone? 

Who are we supposed to be? 

Make me a storybook and write me away from here. 

I need a different now. 

There's four roads to anywhere. 

Four ways to everything. 

We were unbreakable. 

We spoke of destiny. 

Let's take a moment out and go where we never go. 

Let's make a new world now. 

Where we can wear each other for a while. 

And I'll lend you my tears if I can borrow your smile. 

And we'll get through tomorrow some other day. 

Happy after... once upon these days."

The first day of Spring! 

How many posts have you read with me whining and crying about the lack of snow this year?  How I couldn't wait to move back here so that I could have a real winter...  Only once I got back here.... no snow. 

Yeah, so we were supposed to get rain today.  Up in the northern part of the state they were supposed to get a dusting... maybe an inch at most later this evening. 

HELLO?!?! 

Twenty minutes of snow, and the temperature has already dropped enough to give us over an inch! 

Oh... and up north... they're getting rain.

One of the many reasons it's not always easy to blog... others sneaking on my laptop!

I'm still tired.  I don't have to be up right now which leads me to the question, WHY am I up right now?  Weird how my body can train itself for all sorts of things I don't want it to know, but things I want to make a routine, it revolts and refuses to conform. 

It's St. Patrick's Day!  You're required to feel good even if you don't.  Start drinking early, and you'll feel fine!  You'll hate me for that advice tomorrow, but we'll deal with that later. 

First and foremost I'm American.  I'm not always proud of the things my country allows to happen in its name, but I'm very proud of where I'm from and the beautiful heritage that is mine.   My bloodlines are of Irish and Cherokee descent.  I'm proud of my southern roots and everything else that has blended together to make me the person that I am. 

I think we're influenced by what is passed down to us by our ancestors, but we ultimately make our own choices that lead us where we go in life.  I'm not going to fill my page with silly proverbs or anything today.  Why pretend I know more about being Irish than I really do?  Besides, who has time to google'em, anyway?

I have to tell you about my day! 

First, right now there is "Carnosaur".  DNA from a Tyrannosaurus gets shot into a chicken. 

Then there's "Carnosaur 2"... dinosaurs found living in tunnels or sewers or something. 

After there, "Carnosaur 3: Primal Species".  Don't think I've seen it, believe it or not. 

Next, "She Creature" and then, "Earth vs. the Spider". 

How cool is that?  One quick trip out to get food, and I'm good to go for the day...

I love my SciFi.

I don't have the energy of a limp noodle, but I'm not in pain right now.  That's a good thing since I've been down for days and days.  I'm praying that I can keep on the upswing enough this weekend to move around... enjoy doing nothing.... because if you're doing nothing because you can't, it's no fun.  If you're doing nothing because you want to be lazy and do nothing... that's fun, and that's what I want for my weekend. 

We broke down finally.  I've given in... tv is back in the house... satellites are tacky little lawn decorations, but I'm sooo happy that I have one now.  After going more than a year with no cable or anything, I enjoyed breaking the addiction to numb entertainment.  I haven't had a chance to actually be here and watch anything yet.  But if I'm going to be here on my butt now... let's just say, oh my gosh how I've missed my SciFi! 

I have tons of blogs to catch up on.  I do miss reading my friends when I can't so I'm going to do that for a while this morning since sleep is nowhere in sight. 

Maybe I'll feel like doing something post-worthy today.
