It’s one of those days that begs the question…
Why is the wind-chill in the negative teens when most of December felt like spring?
Why did I agree to book my weekend so completely tight that I could hardly see the friends who came home to visit (two of whom will be married by the next time we have a movie night together)?
Why is Organic Chemistry important...no scratch that…why is Organic even PERMITTED to exist?
Why isn’t dark chocolate considered a vegetable?
Why is my brother in Junior high and my sister discussing college plans?
Why is my room in a perpetual state of chaos where piles are more common than carpet spots??
Why was there a “harvest moon” on February 2nd??
Why are girls so darn emotional?
Why are chocolates and teddy bears considered the valentine’s day gifts of choice?? Why not pecans and stuffed penguins??
Why does it seem like I don’t have time to “do college” for everything else that’s going on in my life??
Why do egg rolls always taste better with hot mustard on them?
Why isn’t Ultimate Frisbee an Olympic sport?
Why doesn’t
Why am I so good at giving advice and so bad at taking it?
Why is everyone getting married?
Why are changes so difficult for me to process, and would I really cope with boredom any better?
Why are the simplest things in life sometimes the most difficult to describe??Sorry...my ramble is a bit like a 3 year old's today. I find that sometimes by just getting all my questions out I can forget about the need to answer them all...lets hope...

-Because God was tired of all this "global warming" scare stuff. He knew we all needed a literal smack in the face in the form of bitter windchill to remind us Who's in control here.
-Because the Bears watched Prince did the halftime show. They might have made a comeback if they had stayed in their locker room instead.
-Because we're in college, and often end up learning the hard way.
-Organic exists because the devil is real.
-Because even though dark chocolate has those oh-so-heart-healthy flavoniods, I'm guessing that the caloric intake btw that and veggies isn't the same.
-Because time picks all of us up in its blanket and carries us all along. Pretty scary, but yeah, the little siblins are following our footprints in many ways. Pray that we walked well for them during our time at their age.
-Because the room becomes a sort of drop off station until you get the time (probably months later) to do something about it. Until then, make sure to leave at least one spot of carpet so as not to forget what color it is.
-Because the moon was ticked off that a stupid groundhog was getting so much attention.
-(Pass)
-Because there actually were a few years back in the 7th century where the pecan/penguin thing was tried out, but there was an uprising by the chocolate candies and teddy bear manufacturers, and most of the pecan and penguin peddlers were exiled to an island near Venezuela.
-(I'll revert to my aforementioned "learning the hard way" response)
-Because they don't. Everyone knows that soy sauce on egg rolls is really where it's at.
-Because in the Olympic games in 1704 in Prussia, where Ultimate was first introduced (though known back then as "Uber Discus"), a senate majority leader was knocked unconscious by one of the disks. When he came to, he had such severe amnesia he thought he was a goat kid. He died from suffocating on his tunic (which he was trying to eat).
-Because a glacier came down from the north during the Ice Age and flattened everything down in the midwest. Rumors have begun that the government actually found a 14K peak somewhere near Andalusia, Illinois. This rumor has yet to be confirmed, though.
-(Again, pass)
-Because they aren't. According to the 2000 Census, 11 million Americans cohabitate, and another 27 million live alone. That a pretty big exception to "everyone," don't ya think?
-(Pass #3)
-Because the God of this life is curiously similar. Simple enough for a child to understand, yet infinitely surpassing the depth any philosopher has gone. The layers we find in life keep things interesting for everyone.
Now, why did I take all that time to answer as many of your "why" Q's as I could?
I have no idea.
Hang in there, champ.
