Wintry Weather


So, it snowed this weekend, and I actually had to scrape frost off of my windows yesterday & today, and I AM NOT HAPPY about it--mostly because winter weather means a) having to take the time to clear off my car every morning, and b) sharing the road with a bunch of people who don't know how to drive in bad weather.

Bad weather drivers tend to fall into one of two groups:

First, you have the wimps, who are so afraid of a little snow that they creep along at 20 under the speed limit, even when the roads are dry. Nightmares to be stuck behind--especially when you're running late. Get out of the left lane, please!!

Then, you have the tuff guys, who have 4-wheel drive and insist on driving 20 over the speed limit, even when the roads are solid sheet ice. "Oh, I have an SUV, I can drive like a maniac!" So aggravating--especially when they ride your bumper. Um, I'm in the right lane for a reason, buddy--get off my tail!

Of course, I'm not in either of these groups. :)

Okay, Okay!! You win!!

Alright, already! After much pressure from many sources to create a blog ("It's lots of fun!" "Everyone's doing it!" "Haven't you started one yet???"), I have given in.

Voilà--Mélange-à-moi, or "Liz's random e-musings". Okay, that's not the most accurate French translation, but it works...
