3 AM Silliness

I often wake up during the night with the strangest thoughts. Silly things mostly. I used to write and host game shows on AOL and would usually get my best inspiration for a game during the middle of the night. 3AM seems particularly creative and the other night, I came up with the following. Please humor me. We can't all be rocket scientists or brain surgeons, right?

Sung to the tune of "Oh My Darlin', Clementine"

Oh my darlin', it's alarmin'!
There's a wedge of lime right here.
In the neck of my Corona,
Is a wedge of lime, I fear.

Oh my darlin', call a farman!
It's not charmin', it's not cute.
This lime in my Corona,
Is a bully, it's a brute!

Tried to squoosh it, tried to push it,
But that wedge of lime won't move!
If I can't drink my Corona,
How can I get in my groove?

How it taunts me, oh it haunts me!
This nasty piece of fruit!
Need more leverage, or my beverage
Drinkin' days have gone kapoot!

Have an idea, struck me right here,
It's pure genius, I must say!
Instead of drinkin' this Corona,
Give me brewed in the USA!

Today's Smile

After far too many cloudy days and a rather chilly night with  high wind gusts, our bedroom was quite cold this morning. Feeling the temptation to crawl back beneath my still warm covers, I noticed something strange out the window. It was familiar, yet I couldn't remember why. Had I seen this before? Yes! Yes, I had!  It was the sun! There it was, in all its glory and splendor, beaming down from the Heavens, providing light and warmth to the winter weary! I opened the curtains and blinds and sat in front of the window for several minutes. It felt so refreshing, so invigorating and so warm! The room soon became a light-filled, toasty haven and I went about my morning routine much more comfortable and with a big smile on my face. I hope that something comes into your day and makes you feel all warm, fuzzy and smilie, too! Go ahead and smile - it's like sit-ups for your cheeks . 

Say "Cheese" I made it myself, dontcha know?

It's Snowing!

We are in the midst of our first official "big"snow storm right now. It's snowing pretty hard, piling up quickly. According to news reports, we should get 10 inches, but I never put a lot of faith into the forecast, so will just have to wait and see. After last year's blizzards, we really aren't in much of a mood for dealing with the white stuff, but it sure is pretty to look at!

Snow coming down hard!

Immediately sticking to everything!

Even my dog Sullivan, who was less than amused! He doesn't like the cold
