I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

It is supposed to get up to about 75 degrees over the weekend or early next week. The high numbers put a bit of a crimp in my Christmas joy. It is very difficult for me to get in the spirit of the season with the temperature so high. A white Christmas is in my dreams, so bring on the snow in Ohio...next Saturday that is, after we have arrived. A giant snow storm on the 23rd would be stupendous!

I have made adjustments by choosing a very pristine and very white scene as my screensaver on my work PC. It makes me feel all chilly inside when I look at it. And I also can not help but picture the snow covered trees that lined our driveway in Germany. The decorations are also up around the abode, so if I just don't step foot outside all weekend, maybe I can pretend that it is all snowy and blustery outside. I would even start a fire if only we had ever gotten a gas tank so that the fireplace would actually work.

I just wonder how many other friends are out there feeling the heat of the season. I know many who left the very beautiful German countryside to live in places like Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, & California. Quite a change! I really hate to shovel snow and I abhor the mucky slush that is left at the side of the road yet I still can't help but dream of a white Christmas!

YUCKY

I am so sniffly, hacky, and sore throat plagued this week that all I want to do is curl up with Tivo. Yuck!!! I wish I could go to the office in my pajamas. No such luck there though. And...for those of you lucky enough to live with me during my Germany pink eye experience...I may have it AGAIN! At least there is no Ball this weekend!
