oh yeah...

This is my front yard.




ONE TIME in a silly turn of events, I became Ms. USU Band.  It was a very delightfully sarcastic pageant full of unicycle-riding, tin foil costumes, and general foolery.  Then I went with my sister and beloved roommates to the Village Inn where Hotty McHotster served us pie.  





Oh! And Halloween was super great.  Some of my favorite costumes were:
1. Woman- Yes, the whole cross dressing thing is overdone.  But my buddy Robert's breasts were just so beautifully shaped that it pretty much made Halloween for me.
2.  Vincent Van Gogh- With his blazer, bandaged ear, and slightly reddish hair, I thought this was a pretty brilliant costume.  Actually, he was being Fred Weasley.  But I'm just going to pretend he was being awesome Van Gogh rather than sub par Fred.
3. Rapunzel from Tangled- giant yarn hair and all.
4. Captain Willy Scissorhands
and
5. my sister made a pretty awesome Kim Possible-  And she let me dye her hair for her.  Which I'm AWESOME at. Oh, and she's awesome at having red hair.

These costumes, the fact that I was dressed like Mr. Peanut for three days in a row, and the Hot Tamales I won in a dance contest all made for a great Halloween weekend.


Sportswise, this weekend has been super great.
actually
Everythingwise, this weekend has been super great.

USU won both basketball (against stupid dumb BYU) and football, I have a space heater, I'm becoming slightly competent at knitting, Walmart had a cardboard Hogwarts, and it snowed!

Okay. So.  I thought that blogs had to have a purpose.  Rookie mistake, I know. Despite all this, "how to love the snow" remains.
So I guess, to fulfill the halfhearted and obligatory purpose of this blog that I've been ignoring,

I love the snow.

It's fluffy and brisk and footprints are so cute-looking and it turns into ice that sounds like legos when you kick it and the whole sky is white and everybody runs and laughs for reasons that they would usually just walk and it's so beautiful and exciting that it makes me want to write poems about it and put them in the Friend.
It's super great.
And it's sparkly.
And when you slip on ice it's not even that bad.
