Oh, and tomorrow is Groundhog's Day...if Mr. Groundhog doesn't do what he needs to do to get winter OUT OF HERE, I will go to Pennsylvania and kick his groundhog booty back to last fall ;)

Though really, it hasn't been THAT bad...it's just those days when the storms are coming and you are nervous b/c you don't know what Mother Nature has in store for you.  Meteorologist can guess (and occasionally those palm readers are almost correct!) but they never know EXACTLY what will happen to us.  It's that unknown I hate.

Then again, I always hate the unknown.
