If you know me, you know my favorite movie of all time is "White Christmas". If you don't know me, then let me tell you: my favorite movie of all time is "White Christmas". It's the 1st movie to be made in color, it features some of the best talent, the cheesy/romantic undertones all centered around my favorite time of year make it irresistible to me. Pathetic, yet true, I can quote EVERY line, I know EVERY lyric by heart and I (at one point) knew every dance move. Don't get me wrong, the dances moves weren't smooth, but I knew them nonetheless.
It'd be really annoying to watch it with me, I'd guess, as I sit and say all the lines with all the characters, sing all the songs (and if you've heard me sing, you KNOW how bad that is), and occasionally I will jump off the couch and do a little jig.
I give all of that useless information as a precursor to this: SNOW. Part of the way into the movie, Bing, Rosemary, Vera, & Danny sing a song about snow. It's a cozy scene of the 4 on the train heading to Vermont. You can feel the attraction between characters as the scene descends from a point of tension. Given that it's in December and it's the Christmas season, it's fun and heart-warming. Given that we are currently half-way through February, it's not. I detest snow UNLESS it's between November 20 and January 1. Before or after, it's really not my thing.
But go figure; I live in Indiana. Where currently, there is almost a foot of snow on the ground. My favorite weatherman told me this morning that we just broke a record for snowfall in February. Well isn't that just fantastic. It takes twice as long to go ANYWHERE, my car turns a funny shade of gray due to the salt, and my lack of coordination proves dangerous when outside.
Interestingly enough, the winter Olympics are currently going on in CANADA where they brought in 150 truckloads of snow. Did I miss something here? 49 of the 50 states got snow last week... we got 3 (literally 3) winter storms in ONE (literally 1) week.
Spring, PLEASE hurry. Hurry before I lose what little sanity I have left. Bring rain; I don't care, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring temperatures above 50, no snow and something green (or at least something that looks alive) to the outside. MUCHAS GRACIAS.
