A Letter to the Weather

Dear Old Man Winter,

It's predicted that you're planning a visit to Arkansas this weekend, bringing with you "Snow", "Sleet" and "Ice".

While I'm not very excited about your visit, I am glad you'll only be here one night! So, pack light, Mr. Winter because YOU'RE. NOT. WELCOME. IN. THESE. PARTS.

So, if you have to come, I have a few requests I'd like you to consider.

Be gentle! The more we see of "Snow", "Sleet" & "Ice", the more I have to work. You see, Mr. Winter, I don't have a "regular" job. I work in TV, so if the weather gets crazy, I can't just stay home watching movies in my PJ's...NO, I have to go to work! On the upside, I won't be alone...if it's bad enough for me to go in, then it's bad enough for Matt to have to go in too.

Get in & Get out! I don't think I really have to explain this one. I mean who wants days & days of ice? Snow...that's a different story. You can get around in snow, but ice...the city will shut down!

For my dog's intestinal sanity, skip over my backyard! I can't go through another 4 days of my dog whining when I take her outside to do her business. This past weekend, when it rained for 4 days, was a nightmare for her & for me. She had no trouble peeing because she is SUPER FAST, but pooping...well, I don't think she pooped for 2 days. Then, when she finally did, lemme tell you, it wasn't pretty! I can't go through that again.

Have a good trip, but don't expect anyone to be there when you cross over into Arkansas!

Yours Truly,
Warm-Weather Lover
