Literally, I can smell the chill in the air and I am hopeful that we will get a few snowflakes. I will be honest; I will be more than a little disappointed if we don't. However, I won't be surprised. I am not looking for a whole winter of snow. I am sure that would get old. Just a day, even a couple of hours would be fun and "Christmassy!"
It is freezing here!! But it is also windy as usual. Not breezy, windy! Today, I am afraid the wind is going to just blow all those itty bitty snowflakes away that want to grace this usually dull, deserty town. This makes me a little sad and totally jealous. Jealous that St. George, Las Vegas, AND Ft. Irwin are all getting snow today! FORT IRWIN people, the place that sees about .1 inch of moisture a year. (That is definitely an exaggeration...but not by much)
I sound grumpy but I am not. Just a little sarcastic is all, and definitely tired.
I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night due to quite a few primary things I need to have done by this coming week. Corky says I don't handle stress very well...I say that he is right. I don't think I am a psycho, head-case when I am under pressure, but I am pretty sure I am not very pleasant. With this calling I realize that I am not as laid back as I thought I was. I am trying hard not to micro-manage and I am trying hard to delegate a little more, but I admit that it is hard. I am sure it is annoying to everyone around me.
Anyway, I was up and out of bed at 3:45 this morning working on some computer things. Corky said I should be sleeping. I say it is the perfect time to get things done because I don't have to do it with a child on my lap or being babysat by the television. I then don't feel guilty or be afraid that perhaps my child thinks I would rather be on the computer than playing with her. But I realize that sleep is important too.
Back to the snow...I have been watching the window since I started this "stream of consciousness" post. Still no sign of the white stuff. That's okay. It’s too cold outside to just play so I think my girls and I will make some of these cookies. They looked really good and blackberries were on sale for $1 this morning at Safeway. Also, I don't have to worry about getting them done in time to start dinner because I don't have to cook dinner tonight. I had to cook a casserole for a funeral this morning so Corky suggested I double it and just pop it in the oven for dinner. He's a smart guy. No wonder I said yes when he proposed to me 6 years ago TODAY! I just now realized what the date was.
And if someone talks to the weatherman, let him know that Gracey really, really wants to make tiny snowballs! Send a little snow our way.

I really hope you get your snow so Emily can make her tiny snowballs!
Im jealous of the snow flurries in the beautiful desert too. It is such a pretty sight up against the red rock.
Those cookies are too yummy. have fun making and eating all the them!
I wish for snow too! But living in Mesa I KNOW it's not going to happen! :(
Ive never seen this much snow in SG. It seriously snowed all day long. I agree with you though, I don't want mounds of snow...just enough to make it feel like christmas...and that it did.
PS. I think your dad is my ward. Weird I remember him from 8th gradish soccer...but im pretty sure its him...hmm.
i wish I could send all of our snow your way!! We are covered! Today it started snowing again and I dont evven think I can pull out of my drive way... ugh!!
Awww, I'm sad for you not getting snow. I really hope you do. But it's sunny now this morning here. There's another storm coming in though so don't lose hope.
You can have some of ours! We have plenty to spare! Just tell me where to send it and it's on it's way!
I tried blowing our snow that we did get to you. Did it make it? So sorry if it didn't. Crazy to see snow here in St. George. It never snows here. It for sure makes it feel like Christmas now. If only it were snow that would stay. I guess we will both have to move North if we want more snow.
I heard that about Fort Irwin-- did you hear they closed the gate-- no one on or off...see you don't miss that action do you?
Oh and Primary callings are just like that. IT's why people cry when they are called to primary and cheer at the release-- it's a love hate thing.
I hope you get your snow-- a child's wish is a serious thing. Maybe it will be your Christmas miracle.
Oh and can I tell you, YOU ARE SO DARN POPULAR. You have kazillion replies every time you post-- you go girl!
Looks like the weather man heard you! It's SNOWING!!
