Okay. Now that I have confirmed my suspicions on the definition of the season of the year that I thought we were in, I have to surmise one thing..... I have slept through the entire year of 2003 and have woken up in February 2004!

You do not believe me? If you live on Long Island, just look out your window, or better yet, step outside your door. What do you see? Snow! What did I spend close to two hours doing? Shoveling snow! Yes, snow! Four inches deep! In April! Or so I thought it was April.

I thought we had celebrated my husband’s birthday yesterday. My husband’s birthday is April 6th to be exact! I remember having a wonderful time with guests over for dinner on Saturday and Sunday. I must have had a wonderful time celebrating. Strange thing is, I do not remember having any alcoholic drink! But I must have slept through 2003. Can you give me another reason why we would have a blizzard in spring? February is the blizzard month!

My husband must have known this was going to happen because he conveniently left this morning to visit his parents in Florida. Yes, I said Florida! Boy, anything to get out from shoveling snow again!

Someone, please wake me up in spring! I am going back to bed. I just looked out the window again and it is still snowing! Sigh!
