Enough About the Weather

I admit to sometimes having trouble coming up with blog topics. I know I have a limited audience, and I'm probably trying their patience with my Wyoming snaps. I just looked over my last few posts, and I may be overdoing the focus on the weather and seasonal changes. Fall is a natural occurrence, after all, and it shouldn't really claim so much attention. Even if the forecast calls for it to get down to 16 degrees tonight.

My man, who is generously making me dinner since I had a long week at work, thinks I should diversify and write a bit more about different subjects such as his excellent cooking. His chicken tortilla soup is indeed quite tasty, and very pretty, too with the green of the avocado accenting the rest of the meal quite nicely. It works best with a dollop of sour cream to cut the spice. Eating soup tonight seems like a grand idea since the temperature might drop to 16 degrees, with plenty of snow.

I bought some winter boots. I took a special trip to a local store downtown and bought waterproof, fleecy, warm boots. I appreciated both the easy walk to the store and supporting a local business. I try to do my part and not drive a Hummer to the Wal-Mart. I also think it's important for me to have warm winter boots when the temperature could get to 16 degrees--this is Fahrenheit, people--in October.

I'm still not sure about this whole blog thing. I am becoming more suspicious of the internet. I am TOTALLY disappointed with Wikepedia, since it told me that Dan Marino (who needs to get out of my face) owned a home in Laramie, but the locals that I've broached the subject with have never heard of such a proposition. They just laughed when I had the nerve to bring it up, and I was totally looking for his house and everything. His fries may be too salty, but he is a celebrity of sorts. I don't even follow American football, you know. Granted he was in that Ace Ventura movie and lots of car ads, but come on.

The internet is just one big liar. I don't know who to trust. Can you trust Fizzy Notions when I don't even fill out my personal profile? I wouldn't. But I don't really see why you need to know my age or favorite band as long as you know that I am young enough to have a blog and that groups from Glasgow rock.

Speaking of Scotlanders, I read on the internet (so it may not be true) that JK Rowling always saw Dumbledore as gay. I bet all the people she didn't already offend with her "magic" are gonna love that one. When I read that she had outed one of her characters, I was predicting Neville, who liked dancing. I'm glad that she went with the all-powerful, supreme Merlin hero instead. Stick it to the Man.

I'm having a blog crisis. It's snowing as I type, but can I write about it? The ground is covered in a serene layer of white; the tree out front has lost all of its leaves and has a icy coating. But I've already used up my space for weather blogging. Snow in Wyoming is already old news. Big surprise. Yawn.

So, in conclusion. Avocados are pretty like autumn leaves. Soup is good, especially when the temperature may drop to 16 degrees. Dumbledore is a Glaswegian Rock Star. I'm glad I thought of something new to write about, especially now that it's snowing.
