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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
