You know the simple, pure joy that brings a smile to your face? →[More:]I felt that joy last night after I took my car through the car wash. I figured it was time since I couldn't really remember what colour my car was...plus it was becoming difficult to see through my salt-encrusted windows to change lanes, especially with the glare of the late afternoon sun.

It was a simple joy that was short-lived though, because there were big, fat, juicy, wet snowflakes falling when I looked out my window this morning. I did not expect the snow.

My shiney and new-looking car is no more. A GO bus drove by me this morning on the 401 and I heard a few big *SPLATS!* Now I am sad.

I delayed cleaning my atrociously salt-stained car yesterday because I was lazy and tired. And lo, this morning! Much snow! When it melts a little, my car will be clean! (Doesn't help the inside which is in desperate need of a vaccuum.)

I've lived in central Ohio for a couple years now, but I'm enough of a Southerner that seeing falling snow does the simple, pure, joyful smile-bringing thing to me every time. Even though working out in it is torture, it's still worth it.

I've been delaying washing my car because one of my windows in my cargo area is shattered. The window tint kept the window from being completely busted out but I can still picture it, even if it's a no-touch car wash: During the rinse cycle a stream of water at full blast blows out (in) the window and my car fills up with water. I'll get my tax return in a week or so - then I'll fix my window.

I bought an espressomachine recently. Haven't had one in years. I made a latte just the way I like'em this morning and drank that while watching Perle play in the snow. Bliss.
