“It don't snow here, it stays pretty green, gonna make a lot of money and quit this crazy scene...I wish I had a river to skate away on" --Joni Mitchell

I am wishing for green...I can hardly believe I'm saying this, but I am tired of snow. Five years of living in Nashville complaining about how it didn't snow enough, and it has turned me into a snow-hater. I am officially ready for spring.

This cold weather makes me want to hibernate. I am sick for the third time in less than two months (sorry if you've heard me complain about this already - I am whiny about it today).

Yesterday was a tough day for some reason. I think that I have exhausted myself enough physically for it to affect me emotionally. I was in the valley. But the good news is that I am trudging back up the hill today.

Things are happening slowly, and I am trying to be patient with the process. And we all know that I have an issue with trying to control my life a little too completely. So I am working on the letting go as well.

I had a job interview today, which I mostly went on for interview practice, and they asked the typical "strength and weakness" question. I totally blew the weakness part. Not that I can't think of my own shortcomings, because let's face it, we are all our own worst critics. But most of the things I can think of are not really work-related. And how do you put a positive spin on your weaknesses? I always hate that question, but at least I didn't get a question about what kind of animal I'd like to be or how tall the Eiffel Tower is.

Something to work on, I suppose. Think I could say my greatest weakness is answering the question about what my greatest weakness is? Hmmm...something to ponder.

That's all for now - pray that the Job Fairy leaves me something I can afford to live on under my pillow.
