 22 Comments |
Here it is, Rants! & Raves!, your weekly chance to sound off. Remember the rules:
1. A Rave! is something that happened during the past week that you’re tickled about and is signified by the word “Rave!” and/or an appropriately happy emoticon.
2 A Rant! is something that happened during the past week that you’re steamed about and is signified by the word “Rant!” and/or an appropriately unhappy emoticon.
3. You may Rant! about something a person said, did or wrote, but you may not Rant! about generally disliking a person.
Let her rip…

End of an illusion
RAVE:The daffodils are up!
Today I have only a rave:
Rave: I may finally be over my flu.
Rant: I am very, very tired.
Rave
: A very good friend, who lives in Maine (I’m in Conn.), called, & we talked for almost 3 hours! We usually only speak on the phone once a year, but when we do, we talk a lot!
Rant
: This same friend doesn’t “do” e-mail, cuz she finds it too time-consuming.
Rave: My daughter did a very good presentation on Helen Keller today (Famous Alabamians)
Rave: Lynn and Alisa. Thank you;)
Rave: After a couple of weak months financially, February is on target to be my best in a long time…and if I get a book contract quickly on this pending one, and first payment, it will be my best month ever. (It probably won’t happen that quickly, of course.)
Rant: I haven’t seen any daffodils yet.
Wednesday we had snow, a brutal half inch or so–the first on the ground this winter. And I couldn’t help but think it was February 13, the day before Valentine’s Day, and three or four years ago I saw the first tree blossoms of the year on Valentine’s Day. We can’t be too far out now, but in February I’d rather see daffodils than snow. (I’m not really complaining, of course, just expressing a preference.)
P.S. Rave: that God has allowed me to live in the South and experience its beauty and its people. I still cry sometimes in sheer joy, especially in the spring when everything is in bloom.

We may not know much but at least we ain’t lost know when to cry
Rant:
Y’all may be celebrating the daffodills, but I’m lamenting the onset of pollen season. Trees begin blooming this time of year in GA, and I’m susceptible. Taking claritin since last weekend. I’d rather have 2 feet of snow…
Rave:
It’s Friday and the day’s half over! Not that I have anything planned for this weekend…
Rant: Those who gripe about a measly half inch of snow. You southerners are something else.
Rave: It’s suppose to get up to almost 30 tomorrow!!!! We’ve had high temps in the single digits this week. 30 will be positively balmy
Number three daughter is deeply engrossed in readinf How the Red Fern Grows and has had two people tell her the dogs die (they saw the movie, one is her older brother). What kind of people do that???
reading, sorry, too caught up in the face thing I guess..
#12. Who gripes. We usually close the schools and take a holiday.
As a matter of fact we looking for snow. Our little one really wanst to see it. Anyone know of any in driving distance of Birmingham?
#17. I meant a day’s drive from Birmingham. Technically Canada is driving distance.
#17 Kbells,
I know. I was just taking a poke at Cheryl D. in #7 and her brutal half inch of snow. If that was all we got up here in Mn. I’d be happy. I don’t much care for snow and having to drive in it. Thank goodness for 4WD.
Rave: I had the house to myself when I got home from work this afternoon.
We’ll see how the service works at the house and the office tomorrow. If it goes well, I’m telling AT&T to take a hike.
Ya live and learn.
Laura M. We really are looking for a short trip with a little snow but driving all the way to Minnesota with a four-year-old is just asking for a child abuse charge.
Laura M.,
I survived the New Year’s blizzard in Chicago (I forget which year–1999 or 2000), so of course I was joking about the brutal half inch of snow. That was brutal, and I was one of a tiny number of church members who made it to church the next day–it helped that I lived a block away and could walk. But Nashville is supposed to have an average annual snowfall of seven inches. The year before I moved here, they doubled that. But in my five years here, I don’t think I’ve seen more than an inch total in any winter. We have always had just one to three snowfalls, all so light you can still see the grass from the house window. So that’s my real rave, that 20 inch snowfalls are a thing of the past–please God, may I never see another. Any of you who want snow in heaven will have to live in a different part from me.
