weather junkie

hello. my name is "a" and i am a weather addict. i especially enjoy tracking winter storms. it's sick. i know it's sick. the minute i hear of a possible storm i am frantically checking all the weather sites. when will it get here? how much snow will we get? maybe it stems from childhood, when snow days were THE BOMB! maybe it stems from college, back when we had real storms and work closed down several times because of it. there is something dreamy and wonderful about the thought of being tucked away in the house for a day or two, all cozy and insulated from the outside world. watching movies, drinking hot chocolate, cuddling with my sweetie. in reality, we have the four kids this weekend. they will likely be climbing the walls by tomorrow afternoon and we will be pulling our hair out trying not to have nervous breakdowns. there will be fights, there will be whining. any movies playing will be kid friendly flicks, hardly cuddle-worthy fare. but yet i am still checking out the weather sites, trying to track this big pending snow storm. perhaps i am a glutton for punishment. or maybe i am just a kid at heart, excited at the promise of all that snow!
