Once Upon A Time...

(Based on a true story)...

Once upon a time there lived a young lady who grew up in a land far, far away known as California. This young lady loved her life in California: shorts 70% of the year, swimming for six months (or more) of the year, eating lunch outside almost every day, a perpetual tan. Life was good in this land of warm weather. Then, one day, the young lady was forced to move to a horrible, horrible place -- a place that caused her skin to turn an ugly, pale color. A place where she was forced to don a COAT 7 months of the year. A place where the word "Spring" meant nothing. A place where she could no longer wear a pretty dress on Easter Sunday lest she die from frost bite. And here she remains...looking out her palace window at the 6-12 INCHES of SNOW falling on the ground on the second day of "Spring". Her laments go unheeded, and she must try to console herself by watching Season 2 of Gilmore Girls in its entirety.

*Sigh*
