the first s--w
I woke up this morning and had a bit of a late start...i had to be downtown by 9:45 and didn't end up leaving 'til 9:28. miraculously i made it to the work site on time (we were supposed to start at 10) and one of the attorneys didn't even show up 'til 10:20-something. now i feel good about not driving like a crazy maniac! though i didn't have time to wash my face, and i always feel sooo filthy when that part of my routine gets skipped...i guess that's one of the downsides of growing my hair out--->now it takes longer to wash! grrrr not that i'm complaining about getting to spend any extra amount of time under the hot running water in the cold bathroom on a cold wintry day....
so before i got around to jumping in the shower this morning (that's right, i jump...cold tile floors will do that to a person) i decided to snap some shots of the FIRST S--W of the season!
this bird may look fake, but he was really sitting on a branch when i took the picture. as soon as i took it, he flew off. now chris and i each have an unintentional, odd, bird-in-nature photograph: his of a bird flying over the grand canyon, mine of a fat red bird sitting grumpily on a snowy branch. (and i'm sure he was grumpy. he looked grumpy. it was cold. i was grumpy. but then i was a little less grumpy. i got a picture of a grumpy red bird.)
deep down i was also very excited. i couldn't wait to get down to my jeep to measure the condensation accumulation! i WOULD have taken a picture of that, too....
but my husband (pansy that he is ;) scraped all the snow off my back seat and put all my windows on. without asking. when he alerted me to inform me of his kind, thoughtful and compassionate gesture, i seriously was miffed. literally speechless. (you know, the word "miffed" makes me think of mittens.) is it bad that sometimes i just don't want to be taken care of? i am just so not a girl sometimes! or most of the time. whatever. in the end he felt bad and apologized. then i felt bad. then i remembered the grumpy red bird. then i felt better.

to make it up to you as a surprise, on a blowy, snowy day when you least expect it, when the snow is as pristine and beautiful as it can be. i will then remove your windows. and release your jeep from its pansy carport, and allow it to soak in mother nature and her frozen tears.....all because i love you of course. :-)
When I moved here, I lived with Curt's parents...and my mountain bike was all in pieces in its box in their garage...and I was just WAITING waiting waiting for a day when I could escape "family time" and go put that thing together and tune it up and just be ALONE ALONE ALONE...and then Curt came over for dinner one night with a big smile on his face and said "Guess what! I put your bike together for you!!! Yea!!!!"
No Yea. No Yea at all.
oh, do i feel your pain!
