"We're not in Kansas anymore"

Well, I'm truly getting back into things. It's my first week back to piano, literature class and the orthodontist. And youth group also, but that was canceled tonight because its a snow day.

Snow day? again?

Wow, this is the third one in a row, and the weather is not planning to get any warmer any time soon. I have a feeling its going to stay exactly like this for like three weeks, and then we're gonna have a really weird hot day, and its all going to melt. All of it.

I wonder if the school would have three weeks of snow days. They seem like they might have to if they're just going to wait for the snow to melt.

Don't get me wrong, people-who-go-to-school, its great to have snowdays, they're awesome, I'm sure. I wouldn't know, but from what I hear, they sound pretty amazing...

You're right. I am pouting about my lack of snow days, but I can't help it. Its not my fault that I happen to have a few friends who go to school and are getting this whole week off.

It doesn't help that Amy isn't doing school either. Even if there wasn't snow, she still wouldn't be doing school. Its going to be spring before she gets off her Christmas break. She'll be like, 'ok, I'm gonna hibernate for the rest of the winter (and possibly spring), and then in three months, when my school starts, I'll wake up and get into the real swing of things, cool with that?'

But its probably all for the best that Amy doesn't have school. I hear those community colleges are like those child labor camps when it comes to getting school off.

This one time there was a tornado. Or two. Or three, and they didn't cancel.

This is Kansas, you know -- tornadoes are around here like the sun is around in the desert.

But only during tornado season. Which, if I'm not mistaken, is around the march, april, may time.

Some day, I will be blown up into a tornado, house, dog and all, and be swept to a far away land, beyond the rainbow.

Or maybe I'll be swept into a spaghetti tornado and spat out into the ocean, after meeting a couple of people inside.

Or maybe ---...I can't think of any more tornado movies.

But I can think of a lot of movies that make tornado/Wizard of Oz references. The most common being, "You're not in Kansas anymore" (Avatar, Honey I shrunk the kids, Inkheart, every mary-kate and Ashley episode EVER, The Matrix, and, according to this blog every movie on that video)

I went to the orthodontist and my teeth hurt muchly.

Any sort of sympathy accepted. Even sarcastic, because when it comes to sympathy, my brain filters away all the sarcasm, and I'm left with just plain sympathy. Usually I end up using that filter a LOT around this house.

Its actually quite sad.
