What Goes Around Comes Around

Look out Phil or you might get what's coming to ya!

Okay, it's that time again and this Greek Girl is itching to get her flip-flops out of storage.  So, if that Punxstawney Phil doesn't do his job right this year, I might just have to slip my sneakers on and march my little butt down to pay him a visit and show him what a good kick boxer I am by plummeting his little head into a snowbank.

Now, I know that may sound harsh and normally I am all miss animal lover activist.  But before you go calling the ASPCA or PETA on me, think about it for just a minute.  Wouldn't you much rather be having some fun in the sun wearing flip flops vs. having your fingers turning blue (like mine)?

Insert Greek Philosophy:


"It is much better to live in a warm climate and travel to the cold and snow when you want to, rather than live with the cold and have no choice. "- Ava Aston Winter - 2012 

Now granted old man winter gave us a break on the white crap this year, but DANG it's been frigging freezing here lately.  Seriously, I'm sleeping dressed up in a an outfit like nanook of the north over here.  Sweatshirt zipped up with a hood, sweats, t-shirt, socks,  fur slippers... and I am not ashamed to admit I even sat on the couch watching a movie with my blanket coat on over all that stuff under a blanket a few times. Can anyone say, ridiculous?

 What can't I do that I want to in this stinking weather? 

1. Go get a hot cup of magic a la Dunkin Donuts anytime I want

2. Go on a date with my sneakers running outside with my iPod 

3. Wear Flip Flops

4. Lay in the sun (of course I wear sunscreen, keep your pantaloons on)

5. Even eating ice cream is not fun in the winter

What CAN I do in this freezing weather?

All I have to say is that Punxsuatwney Phil better not see his shadow on Thursday February 2nd, because if he does... to quote the title from the film that robbed Viggo Mortensen of an Oscar for his role in the film "Eastern Promises" back in 2008 -
"There Will Be Blood." 

So let's hear it for, no Shadow!

Watch Your Back Mr. Groundhog

I am sick of winter. It started snowing yesterday at about 8:00AM and it never stopped. I've been a Miss Greek Grumpy Pants since then because I am so over winter this year. And it's only late January.

"I do not like it when it snows. I do not like my frozen toes. I do not like when cold wind blows, I do not like that my house pipes froze." Ava Aston - Winter 2011

That white crap outside that is falling from the sky put a big damper on all of the things I had planned:

• I can not just hop in my car and get a cup of Dunkin Donuts Coffee
• I can not go for a nice 5  mile run with my iPod and sneakers
• I can not go shopping at the outlets at the Woodbury Commons
• I can not spend the Kohls' cash that is burning a hole in my pocket
• I can not just let my dogs just outside to pee

I would love to be somewhere tropical right now. Somewhere with 85º where I can be in shorts, flips flops and a t-shirt. But no, I'm rolling in New York looking like a wooly mammoth all bundled up in a hat, scarf, my fluffy blanket coat and mittens. That is so messed up. Here are 5 things I can think of that you can do in this weather:

That's right nothing. Nadda, zip, zero!

Greek Girl Trivia: The first official Groundhog Day was celebrated on February 2, 1886 in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Mr. Bricks say it was a very festive celebration, but he doesn't remember a whole lot since he was just a kid way back then.

I'm hoping that next Monday February 2nd Punxsutawney Phil doesn't see his nappy ass shadow, because if he does, I'll be the Blonde Greek Girl who will hunt down the fat little rodent with my daddy's rifle - he will be in my crosshairs - just sayin'

Blessings,

Ava
