I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

What was I thinking?

Cami reminded me (in response to the post below) that there are ever so many lovely things about winter in Boston. Quoth she:

"I think you're being a little closed-minded about Boston winters. Here are some other things to love:
*free salt washes whenever you drive on the freeway
*the quiet slow pace of snowstorm drivers- you can start and finish a good book WHILE you drive!
*the mad rushing mob in grocery stores before a big blizzard
* the frigid humidity that permeates ever piece of clothing and membrane you have on your person
*The dirty polluted snow that accumulates by the T tracks
* The T absolutely disregards any sort of schedule on particularly nippy days so you can enjoy the cold while you wait for a bus that really isn't coming.
*Oil heat that is so ridiculously expensive people keep their heat set low and open the fridge just to feel the warm air inside.

My fingers are too cold to type anymore."

So there's that.

Wow, I'm wishing I lived in Boston. They take winter to a whole new level!

And I love the the comment about the "T" isn't actually limited to the bus schedules, but to the underground too. Yes, that's *underground* as in where the sun don't shine (or the snow don't fall). Oh wait, they're always off schedule anyway...

Wo-is-me...Winter in Boston...I think I'll take a vaca to Arizona in Feb or Mar.
