Winter Blues

Winter in Georgia has been one of a kind this year!! First snow, then ice, then an earthquake. The end of times are near, no doubt! I remember the last "ice storm" we had, I was in middle school. The power was out for DAYS and the entire city was shut down. (no atlanta jokes. we live in the south for a reason.) Kinda like last week. We had Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel in our town, Waffle Houses were closing because they didn't have any food, and cops were handing out tickets just for driving on the roads! Stuff like this absolutely never happens here. ESPECIALLY not twice in the same month! (we're actually predicted to get more snow/ice the beginning of March, but i'm betting the grocery stores have something to do with this one just to see how much more bread and milk they can sell.)

I usually don't mind winter and the only season I typically wish away is summer because I'm not in school anymore and I hate the beach, but this year I am SO DONE with winter. I'm ready to move on to spring!! This week, the weather is going to be in the SEVENTIES. Welcome to freakin' Georgia. And low seventies scream spring. Which screams baseball. Which tells me to scream GO BRAVES and FREE HUGS and WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!

Football had it's time, and I basked in the SEC glory every single Saturday like every other fan, but that season, because yes, football is a season of the year in the south, has come to a close. And it's time for a new one that involves 9 innings and home runs to begin. I'm so ready for Braves paraphernalia in every store, seeing Freddie Freeman on 1st base,  trips to Turner Field, doing the chop, the 7th inning stretch, doing the wave, and most of all Opening Day! Which I think should be a national holiday. Baseball is SO close I can smell it, but yet it's still so far away! I'll just be over here twiddling my thumbs until April so I can fill my days with watching Braves baseball again.

Anyone else ready for baseball?!

Happy Tuesday!!
