Whoah, 8 degrees! It is in the 30s here but we have about two inches of
snow. It is very windy and will be very cold tonight--ice is almost always
the problem. Much worse is the typical southern snow stupidity--over a
thousand weather-related traffic accidents across the state. How hard is
it to grasp "stock up before and stay home until it thaws."



We'll see how the standard fares through this pretty brutal
weather.

Oo. It isn't even heeled in?? Hope it makes it. I still have some babies
in pots, but they are close enough to the house that I think they'll be
okay. I've reached the point where I don't flip out over them--I had to
kill my first rose to lighten up!

Oh yeah, speaking of red roses, I went to have dinner with the
recipient of my red rose and she had it on the table. It was still
unfurling. She commented how fresh it still looked. To me, it was a
shining beacon of my stupidity.

No, no, no. Well, maybe. But there are women who don't play those games.
In my experience, it has been men who appear to value affection less if it
comes too easily. The thrill of the hunt, you know.



You know, it's a shame that "love at first sight" is sometimes a
one-way street.

Dave, Dave, Dave. Should I ask about the point of origin of this "love?"
Or is that too cynical? I have experienced a bunch of things "at first
sight," but never love. Maybe you're just lucky?!



Of course, you have to keep on driving until you find
a way to turn around or it turns into a two way street. I'm still
driving straight ahead. I only hope there isn't a wall ahead or that I
at least find a turnoff first chuckle.


Don't give her too long. Does she treat you like gold? If not, move on.
This is good behavior time, after all. And there are way too many people
in the world for you to waste your time on anyone who doesn't treat you
fabulously.
