I Hate Snow…

Unless it cancels school, I hate snow. Shoveling 24 inches of snow a few weeks ago wasn’t fun, and I’m almost certain it’s not going to be fun this time around either. Unfortunately, even after 14 inches last weekend, my school was still in session. And I was beyond pissed. You know why? Because my school happened to be the ONLY school within a fifty mile radius that was still in session. Yup, all the other elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, AND COLLEGES were closed but mine.

Belize was a nice reprieve from the horrible winter weather (and to me all winter weather is horrible, I’m just saying). But right before I left for Belize I got to experience Snowpocalypse 1. And and just now I’m in the middle of snowpocalypse 2. When will this torture end???

As I stated before in between the two blizzards there was a 14 inch snow storm last weekend. And even though I went outside and enjoyed myself (or rather watched other people enjoy themselves while I complained from a safe distance)…

…I refuse to have frostbitten toes again. I refuse to go on a 2 mile hike for food, I now have enough food to last me throughout the weekend, and most importantly, I am NOT going outside.

Un-Belize-able

I am back in the US and missing the warm weather already.

This place will always hold a special place in my heart. You better Belize it!

So Saturday and Sunday We Went To Some Islands…

Nope, this is not a picture post (don’t have time for that). But there was an earthquake soon after we left. All these earthquakes are a little too close for comfort. I think I’m officially ready to go back to school.

Haiti

Haiti.

Why are some of us so lucky as to be born into wealthy, educated countries, where opportunities abound and troubles are comparatively few? And why are others (no less in my God’s eyes than we) born into troubled places where poverty, disease, violence, and natural disasters seem to rain down from the sky?   -Tom Foreman
