Winter is here (officially)

First day of winter

December 21.

The first day of winter.

And I am sitting here saying … wait, it’s December 21? Really?

I have so much to do in the next day and change that I don’t even know where I am. Well, I do. But at the same time, I have no clue.

Sheesh.

It has definitely felt like winter. And, at times, it’s looked like it, too. But when the snow comes, it’s followed by rain and warmer weather.

I’m really hoping for a white Christmas, though.

It’s been a couple of years since we had a legit white Christmas. It doesn’t feel right when there isn’t some Christmas snow … ala Frosty the Snowman.

So, we’ll see about that.

We’ve already had more snow this year than all of next year. What that means is … snow. But it’s ok. It had to happen.

It’s how it goes.

It is winter, after all.

And we close in on Christmas. Enjoy the cold!

Foto Friday

OK, I made that headline up.

It’s not a new thing.

It’s just … I got nothing right now. December’s end is coming soon enough and this every day thing can stop. BUT … I do like this idea for today, to share a photo.

With the weather we’re having here … I’d love to be back at this beach!

Make up our minds, Mother Nature!

The Christmas season is upon us, it seems.

Lights are popping up all over the place. People seem to be somewhat festive. The holiday music is all over, especially on two channels on SiriusXM.

Snow is again in the forecast in the coming days. That is not so fun.

I don’t mind a little snow, but I’d rather not be dumped on again. Especially during the week as it makes going to work not so fun. This weekend, there are plans, too, so the weather would be a total downer.

Alas, it’s part of living in the Northeast.

That being said, I do want to see snow on Christmas. The whole green Christmas thing is just not fun.

Last year was mild. This area set records for the lack of snow. I think we ended with like 19 inches – total. We might have that by the end of December!

So we’ll get some snow the next few days. Then it’ll be gone. And who knows what Christmas will bring.

Mother Nature needs to make up her mind, though! Damn her.

How’s the weather near you? Feeling like the holidays yet?

Hot and cold … WTF?

I realize the human body is quite interesting as a whole – how it works, how it survives, how it grows etc.

But damn, the whole hot/cold this is odd.

Why is it we spend the hot months trying to be cold, and the cold months trying to be warm? I just want to be like “Hey … body, WTF?”

For those who know me, you know I like the cooler temps. In the middle of a hot summer, it’s often to the point in my car where you’ll need a sweatshirt because it’s an ice box.

Come the winter time, the ice box is outside. But, I don’t go full extreme and have an oven in the car.

I’m sure all of this has something to do with body temperature. And, to be fair, I did start reading about body temperature, but after a few sentences, it basically became this:

“Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah.”

You get the picture. A scientist I am not, that’s for sure.

These are the types of things that really help make life so interesting. As frosts set in during the mornings, I’ll have to start warming up my car. When I get in it’s all toasty and nice. It makes me smile. But, if it’s 95 degrees out and I get into my car and it’s hot as can be, I’m juicing the air conditioning hoping to make it feel like the South Pole!

The human body and mind work in mysterious ways, that’s for sure. How one thinks or acts, or even reacts, to situations and life conditions is pure amazement.

The seasons changing is no different.

We want cold when it’s warm, and warmth when it’s cold. It’s as simple as that.

Vacationland

By the time this post goes live on my blog, I’ll be in the midst of a vacation down south.

Yeah, probably not the best time of year to do that, right? Supposed to be hot while I am down there, too. Really hot.

But I’m trying to schedule some posts to go up while I’m away, and this is one of them.

This is a baseball trip, though. A lot of games over a week.

I got thinking as this one was being planned, too. Since that time in my life when I was on unemployment for so long, I haven’t had one of those “long vacations.” Sure, I’d take a long weekend and things like that, but it’s rare for me to take a week and actually go somewhere.

This is what this vacation is about.

So I’m off to the south where I’ll watch baseball and see a few other things and probably not eat as well as I should. But I will do my best during that time and see what happens.

I also hope the games we’re planning on hitting don’t get rained out or anything like that.

Until I return, though, some of these posts may be a little more like this as I was trying to schedule things to the point where it was easy to get things done as I didn’t give myself enough time to write some of my more in-depth things.

That’s OK though. I’ll get back to some regularly scheduled programming soon enough!
