"let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..."

This is my oldest daughter, Aqueelah, age 26 sitting at the computer in our kitchen. she was a "Blizzard '79' baby *grins* (sorry fellas, she's taken already *smile*)

so i spose those of y'all from Chicago wishing for a "white" Christmas, well you got your wish. GRRRRRRRRRR. and i have a T and pdoc appointment tomorrow. great. wonderful. lucky me, i get to walk thru all that shit to the bus stop going and coming. aint gonna happen. i'm stayin' right here in my nice warm house.

there used to be a time when i loved snow--as a child. i remember the first blizzard we had in 1967. the WHOLE CITY was shut down. most schools were closed and for those commuting to and from work, it was a hugantic, ginormous (yeah i stole these words from Bruce Almighty) mess. cars were buried beneath the snow, and i remember asking my mama if i could go out and play in the snow. she said yes, and bundled me up good and out the door i went. i made a pitiful snowman, and made snow angels by lying on my back and waving my arms and legs. thankfully it wasnt biting cold out and i stayed out there until mama called me in to eat dinner.

then we got smacked down with another blizzard in 1979. during that time i was pregnant with my oldest daughter, Aqueelah, (see pic above--isnt she pretty!) who blessed the world with her presence on February 23, 1979, weighing in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces. she along with my youngest (sorry i dont have pics of her yet, but will get some soon) are the joys of my life, and i dont know what i would do without them. /so it's snowing big time now. it's pretty to look at, but hell to get around in-especially when you are an old bag of bones like me LOL. after the T and pdoc appt, unless it's ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for me to go out, i will be keeping my little shawt fat azz right here in the warmth of my apartment.

somehow i get the feeling we just MIGHT have another blizzard....
