Day 1179: Appointment at Noon



Welcome to Wisconsin, where it can officially be Spring and Easter can be in a couple of days, but there's a blizzard outside your window...again. 

To be fair, it wasn't that much of a blizzard, at least not by me. I've spent the majority of my "spring break" holed up in my apartment at college, mostly because the internet is better and it's drastically quieter than everywhere else. After spending a couple of days in the apartment alone, both my roommates popped in and we ended up riding out the storm together...if it can even really be called a storm by Wisconsin standards. It doesn't mean that those of us here aren't incredibly jealous of our friends off in Florida, but still. 

The nice thing about a snowstorm though? You don't have to go anywhere. You literally pretty much have to stay inside, or you can at least use it as an excuse to stay inside, which means you have plenty of time to work on everything that you've been procrastinating on for days...and time to make Mickey waffles. It occurred to me today that I post more pictures of sushi and Mickey Waffles than any other food though, so there's something to think about. 

In case you were wondering what a snowstorm in Wisconsin in March looks like, I've got you covered there too. I somehow remembered that taking a "before" picture might be a good idea, and since I like right on the river, things worked out pretty well for me: 


That picture represents exactly 24 hours folks. Like I said, welcome to Wisconsin. 

Have a magical day!

Day 1089: A Not So White Christmas

I'm certainly dreaming of a white Christmas...one that definitely can't be found.

Growing up in Wisconsin, snow for Christmas has always been a thing, and I can't remember many Christmas Days without the white fluffy stuff all over the place outside. This winter, however, things have been so warn that the first snow seems to be coming a bit late, meaning that it's definitely Christmas and it's definitely not white outside.

It sort of makes me think about Disney though, because while they don't get snow in Florida very often either, at least they have the fake snow that falls in the Disney parks during the holiday season. After all, even that would be better than no snow at all, even if it is kind of weird and gets a bit sticky after a while. I mean, just look at it come down!


I wonder if I could get a set up like that for outside my house? 

I hope you all have a very merry, and magical, Christmas!
