Give and Take

All I ask for is a little bit of snow. I didn't ask for snow coated with ice with rain and sleet and whatever other forms water takes. It's a crunchy mess outside and it's not going to melt off tomorrow. Limbs are falling off all the trees and we have one tree that hangs over our house and when ice is on it, it makes me nervous. Why me?

Also, as of tonight, I'm in reality TV heaven. Big Brother is starting tonight and American Idol, I think, is moving to the Hollywood phase of the show which is when I start watching it, not to mention The Biggest Loser. I guess I can't cry too hard.
