Let it snow on the mailbox!!
Let it snow on the front porch!!!
Let it snow, let it snow, LET IT SNOW!!!!
Yes! It snowed at my house! All I know, I was pulling the herbie curbie trash can up to the curb and it just started coming down. . .Could this be real?
We RARELY get snow in the ATL, to the point that it was the hot topic of conversation yesterday here at work.
I told my boss: "Look here, if the Henry County schools are closed, then I ain't coming to work tomorrow!!"
[Note: I live in Fulton County. My boss lives in Henry County, which is some thirty-odd miles away].
She gave me that look, you know, that LOOK... That hard eye squint your mama gives you when you're acting up.
"LadyLee, you only live five minutes away from work. You can walk to work."
"You think I'm crashing my car just to come in here and fool with ya'll? And I sure ain't walking!!"
"I'm not coming in either if it's bad," she said with a sigh.
Her answer threw me for a loop. She usually gets a bit agitated, but she was calm. I left her alone. She's pregnant, and I could tell that she wanted me to leave her alone. And she had that same look in her eye that I had... That look of glee, thinking she was going to get a free day off with pay!!
My sister Kentucky came in the house, all excited, a snowball cupped in her hand.
"Look, Lisa," she screamed. "It's snowing!"
I was in the bed at the time. I wanted to scream "GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!", but I didn't. She said that she hadn't seen snow since 1994, so I let her have her fun.
But, I woke up this morning, and the snow had turned to rain. The snow didn't stick, and there was no ice on the ground. There were no school closings.
Hence, I had to go to work.
I tell you... I had my day PLANNED, you hear me? I was going to write for a few hours, yack on the phone, clean up, wash clothes, look at a little Lifetime, Television for Women, yack on the phone some more. . .
DARN!!
Sigh... back on the chain gang.
The snow is gone...
Hope we get a "blizzard" like that once again:)

Girl, I'm from a transplant from the Northeast and that's a dusting! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for some snow this way.
ReplyDeleteYOU AND ME BOTH!
ReplyDeletei was SOOOOO ready to be off today. when i saw the snow last night i was so sure we'd be off! but NOOOOOO...i'm here in the office after i had made plans to read, write, eat, and sleep.
meanwhile, there are only three of us in the office...out of about twenty folk. my boss ain't even in. looks like i'll be leaving work early :)
Well, it sure looked pretty.
ReplyDeleteSnow? Definitely a dusting. I moved from up north about 15 years ago and I do not miss the "real" blizzards one bit.
ReplyDeleteYeah I almost stayed home...
ReplyDelete@Rosemarie and That Original Oldgirl Chele. . .
ReplyDeleteLOL! Well we don't see much snow around Atlanta, so that "dusting" is a MAJOR snowstorm of astronomical proportions!!
@Atlien Nikki and DJ DIVA...
Man, I had ALL kinds of plans for being out today. I am SOOO disappointed!!!
I'm still trying to figure out what school closings has to do with YOU?!!!!!! Just looking for a way to get over on THE MAN.. LMAO. You could have been baking some of those cookies since you had all this free time..
ReplyDeleteAww..poor thing. LOL It snowed here too and it was beautiful! It was so pretty. I came down rather fast, too. I'd gone out to lunch, and within twenty minutes of eating it was already sticking to the ground and didn't look like it was going to let up. I rained later that evening as well. The next day, the sun came out and melted all that doggone snow! LOL
ReplyDeleteWow. You crazy! I remember snow and the ATL. It really is that funny.
ReplyDeleteAnd round these parts that is called either a dusting, signs of precipitation or light flurries.
I see that around here and say "good, I ain't gotta get the shovel out. the sun will take care of it."
