Snow Day?

It's the last day of March, and it seems that mother nature has a little April Fool's joke a day early for us Minnesotans: 4-8 inches of snow. This is so strange! It's the Minnesota Twins home opener today at the HHH Metrodome, and we're getting a snow storm. Surprisingly, or not, I guess, we've been pretty crazy busy today. When it comes to the Minnesota Twins, as with any sport, the home opener is one of the hottest games of the year. Everyone's a fan at the beginning of the season.

Traditionally, Minnesota fans in general are pretty bandwagon-y. They're only interested in seeing their teams when they're playing well. Which, well, it's just got to be expected. In reality, no one wants to go to a game to see their team lose. Hopefully the Minnesota Twins can have a better season this year, maybe even make it to the playoffs again! Hey, a girl can hope, even if we don't have Johan Santana. On the plus side, we do have Francisco Liriano back on the roster after recovering from his Tommy John surgery. My cousin actually had the same surgery about a month after Liriano did, performed by the same doctor, and he's supposed to be able to play again this spring, as well.

I keep getting distracted by the snow. It looks kind of pretty I guess. No, it really doesn't. It's blowing sideways. Which means slow drivers and a slow commute to the gym after work today. I guess you never know what kind of weather you're going to get when you live in Minnesota! I walked down to Cossetta's for lunch today, I love their gorgonzola salad - they load it with that blue cheese dressing that is so NOT good for you but is so worth it. The streets were super slushy, kind of like the snow is halfway melting when it hits the ground but still retaining somewhat of a frozen texture. Time to take those winter boots back out of the closet!
