Ugh, I'm getting tired of snow! But it was nice to get out and do a 3-mile walk. I can actually say I'm getting used to the climate. So now, when I move to SoBe (for all of you not in the know [JK] that's South Beach) I'm going to be like, dying in the heat. I really don't want to look like an out-of-towner! And I still have 5 more years to accustom to literally freezing temperatures! Maybe I'll turn my room temp to like, 500 so I won't look like I'm melting with heat there. Okay, enough about 2012.
There's not much to say, really--last Thursday was a snow day and Friday I was sick. Blah. But that day I also learned that I'm taking off next Friday (which is now this Friday) to go to Halifax, Nova Scotia. I love that place. The harbor (sorry, "harbour" *rolls eyes*) is really beautiful. Especially at night, when all of the lights are twinkling and reflecting on the water. Too bad it has to be in Canada. JK, Canadians. I always (okay, for the past two years) have said Halifax is like New York but without the crime and without the litter. Plus they have this really yummy candy store, used bookstore, and mall I love. I know, I'm not a regular there but those kinds of things from October 2004 I can remember from. Well, enough about Halifax.
Yesterday we went to Maine, which was okay but we didn't get south enough where all of the shopping is. And the beaches were all south, so I was pretty disappointed that we didn't get to go, but it was pretty. We mainly just walked down and went to the post office.
Every Saturday since two Saturdays ago I go with my new friend Lauren to this "Youth Blast" thing @ Fredericton Indoor Pool. We just swim around, and they have this fun water slide and swinging rope you can go on. And they also have this 30-person hot tub, but of course they had to keep it pretty cool, like 95 or something. That is, Fahrenheit. I'm am not getting used to Celsius and I never will. Or the metric system, blah. But if I'm going to be living in the Bahamas (or anywhere else in the world for that matter) I'd better start practicing my milliliters. EW. Well, have to go clean my room (which still isn't done from two Friday's ago). I've been doing more decorating than cleaning. I have a little table set up all nice, and my bed has lights wrapped all around it, but my floors a mess.
TTYL!

PS: No boys asked me out on V'day, I was very dismayed. My outfit wasn't that bad. Sorry I had to say that, but I want boys to be in every one of my labels.
PPS: I love it when y'all comment, so keep doing it.
PPPS: Or is it PPSS? Or PSSS? Anyway, be sure to look @ the pictures from the link below in Sheehan's post. They have pics of the drive from Maine, the sledding hill and mostly from the walk we took today.

Hello? How does this work? Can you hear my voice?
It is supposed to reach 76 degrees this week- I just thought you guys might want to know. This, after I was doing some ski jumping last weekend off Maynard Rd. at a friend's house who has a snow-blower. I look forward to reading your posts and seeing the pics- its so nice to see your faces. I love you guys!!
Look, Kate, I hate to break this to you - but if you show up in SoBe after five years in the Great White North, you're going to look...white. The locals will probably think "Snow Bird" as soon as they see you.
SoBe heat is something you beat with good A/C. Even if you are born into it (as I was), you stay inside in August because it is insufferably hot - although not Africa or India hot (or so I hear). Either that or you smell like armpit - which is what would happen in a 500 degree room, come to think of it. Choose not to smell like armpit - your family will thank you for it.
Back to SoBe. Much better to put on a good French accent (put those French classes to work for you) and have cabana boys bring you drinks by the pool. Although, I cannot say whether SoBe has cabana boys - you might want to look into that first and make sure they use deodorant too, now that we touched on that topic (and aren't we all glad I have?)
