Love living in the North East.... really.

Been a while since I posted anything here. Life gets in the way of my pseudo career of being a middle-aged blogger :-) I was chatting with a friend via AIM the other day and told her that she hadn't blogged lately. She accused me of the same, but really, I like reading other people's stuff not my own.

Ultimately today is 2 days before the first event in our "be your best self" series for alumnae enrichment. As I was confirming our catering order for the event, and ensuring that information regarding parking/getting to our event was clear for all registrants, i get an email that has the following information:

This is from Henry Margusity, a meteorologist on AccuWeather:

Probably the Worse Blizzard of the Season.. Bad Big Daddy
THE COMBINATION OF HIGH WINDS AND SNOW COULD RESULT IN WORSE CONDITIONS FOR MANY ACROSS NY,PA, DE, MD, NJ...

REALLY? Is mother nature trying to kill me? honestly????? I mean, up until today the weather was supposed to be crappy; but rain was expected, not part III of snowapalooza for winter 2010. Even if the weather bypasses us and doesn't hit us, chances are our turn out will end up being smaller than we hope for as people won't wake up thinking "I am going to go to this great event this evening" no, they'll probably be thinking "i wonder if work will allow me to leave early to beat the potential blizzard to the door" even if the blizzard does NOT hit us, the wave of shortages at the supermarket will. God forbid we don't have gallons of milk and loaves of bread. Even those of us who don't EAT these things make sure we are stocked up. really???

Oh well. I told my friend that I felt my blog was just complaining about things and that it wasn't a very positive place to be. I did not lie, but man sometimes it feels good to just complain :)
