I Still Do Act Like A Kid

I was kinda bummed this evening because I had to drive in some snowy conditions. I have no experience in it and I just don't like seeing cars using roads as Slip 'n Slides on the news. I just wanted to get home safely and bundle up.

I needed to do a few things around the apartment and soon it was getting late. I was talking to my mom on the phone and just glanced outside. I was actually pretty surprised to see a layer of white snow on everything - I mean, I drove home in some pretty heavy sleet/snow but I guess I didn't expect for it to accumulate on the ground. Cool!

Then I started to feel kinda bad that I didn't want to go play in it...cuz I'm cold and tired. Always, always, always I will go out and play in the snow because we just don't get it that often. But I was thinking about work and getting to bed and all that jazz...

I hopped downstairs for just a moment and decided to open my front door to look out into the winter wonderland. It took seeing just a few big snowflakes for me to whip around, race up the stairs, throw on my gloves and tennis shoes, grab my camera, and go back out to witness the snow.

It really was snowing out there y'all - I'm used to some ice build-up and that's about it. This was big fluffy snowflakes and it put a huge smile on my face. I'm still a kid and I like it that way. ;)
