Saturdaze In The Snow

Best day of the week plus best weather condition equals heaven.

Saturdaze In The Snow
Tiffanie Gatch

Saturday is without a doubt my favorite day of the week. My typical work week is chock full of action. Work, gym, entertaining my cat, cleaning my house, etc.

Saturday is for waking up late, eating a big breakfast and laying around. Maybe I'll watch some Netflix, maybe that new Blu-Ray. I may nap or read a book. I can literally do whatever I please. And that's such an awesome feeling.

But, me being me, I decided to hardcore mop and disinfect my floors, vacuum the bedrooms and get that good old fashioned spring cleaning out of the way.

Which wound up being ironic because, when I awoke, a soft dusting of snow was already falling. And an hour later when I ventured out to get a new mop bucket, I was surrounded by soft, gentle flurries that whirled around me as I walked to my car.

And despite the fact that I was inadequately dressed and rather chilly, I had an ear to ear grin on my face.

I love snow. For more reasons than I'll elaborate here. Being from the southern coast means snow is like a Yeti - seen every now and then and questionable at best. It's more like tiny hail. But here in middle Tennessee, it's fluffy, soft, actual snow. And it's the best thing about living in this area.

So, needless to say, this Saturday is even more awesome. And yes, I did make sure to stand in the parking lot while the snow fell and put my hands up into the air and spin around. And I'm sure I looked crazy, I feel certain of that but I have no shame.

Saturdaze are for, I think, being a kid. And in this hectic, stressful adult world, sometimes we just need to be a kid and play in the snow.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area.
