i call it sprinter!
April 07, 2003 - 11:46 pm first things first. have i mentioned how much i HATE winter. and how much i rejoiced when the 20th of march happened along? yeah, so it�s spring. why the hell i�m i standing in two feet of snow?!? well not literally, but if i was to go downstairs and open�you get what i�m trying to say. i am not pleased. feel free to send sympathy cards and bags of salt to melt this most horrid form of H2O. oh, and my rant on �sprinter� (my new name for the second wind season of winter that comes two weeks after spring) isn�t quite finished. so who is in charge of eastgate square? and why was it closed on friday? i mean come on, it wasn�t really that bad(apologies to court who knows that it was) they closed the whole mall b/c of the snow storm. what did the mallrats do all night? or all day cuz i�m sure school was closed too. it�s so sad that up here half the city shuts down when a few flakes hit the ground. and i will also contradict myself , by complaining about it now. but it is rather hard to shovel it when it�s the consistency of granulated sugar. 2kg are easy enough to handle but several hundred kilos? that was friday. today, the snow gods were angry yet again and dumped on a paralysing amount on our streets. it took me six tries to make it up the driveway, but i did. and i haven�t slipped yet(i will tomorrow). i�ll stop whining now. my girl made it here safe on friday, despite the blizzard. and we had some great meals and even greater desserts. saturday was the wedding of Julia & gary. we made it on time, the ceremony wasn�t too long(about an hour) and aaron, Sabrina, mike, the girl & i ducked into some Italian rest. on the hill to kill time before the reception. of course we were the best dressed in the whole place and we had drinks to warm up before cocktails at 5:30. saw some old friends and made a few new ones(at our table) which was always have a laugh at some point or another. the din was amazing. i almost went blind during dessert(it was sooooo good) and after toasts and cake cutting it was time for people to get funky. and some did. the dj sucked large. and considering it was the city�s premier golf & country club. (no i won�t mention the name) the service for getting the gent�s bathroom door stunk too. now if i hadn�t pulled a magyver and opened it myself with a paperclip god only knows what would have happened. hmmp!! it was a long day, a long night and we were pooped after it was time to turn in. we did have a fun evening though. even after Aarons car got stuck in my driveway, being the last ones at the church and having to drive home late.(extra late cuz of the time change) yep. my girl does liven up my weekend when she comes up. my therapy session can be cancelled, the mall can be closed and the store can be out of my favourite ice cream but she makes me forget about all of that. i have made a promise that there will be not one single speck of snow(or temp below 0 ) next time she comes up. or else� it�s the least i can do considering the weekend that wasn�t suppose to be this way. (the return of winter)
