Hurry and you can do my laundry this morning.
I don't consider Florida to really have a winter. I was spoiled by many years in the Republic of Panama where there are only two seasons, Wet and Dry(mid-December to mid-March). School is out during the Dry Season.

Sassafras - If only you had posted sooner! I already picked up my socks from the bathroom floor, pants from under the bed, shirts from the lampshades and a sweatshirt from on top of the refrigerator. Then I jumped on my bicycle, dragging my dirty things behind me, and started the washers in one of two laundryrooms in this trailer complex. However, you can go grocery shopping with me. I do it at Dollar General.

Excuse me, please, I want another bowl of strawberry jello that I made last night using fresh strawberries from Plant City, Florida. How are the strawberries doing up your way?

I've been awake since 7, out of bed since 8. Looks like a heavily overcast, damp, and cool day in the uppers 50's. I love it!
We had a home improvement weekend; HPM installed 4 lovely new sets of blinds, and steamcleaned the downstairs carpet. Looks like Laurel's tomato soup spill is trying to hang on though. Grr.
I went in to wake Laurel up about 20 minutes ago; She told me "No Mommy, I'm still dreaming!" rolled over, and went back to sleep with the blamket over her head and her feet hanging out the bottom. That's my girl.

Will your realtor be getting above market value for your condo because you owned it? Ya know like, “And here is the very bedroom in which Ms. Smiley slept. Go ahead, you can touch the bed if you like. It’s OK.”. LOL!

So when is the house warming?

i have been tossing and turning the past 4 nights.... i can't sleep. usually when i'm sick like this i sleep like a log. not this time, even with the help of my good buddy NyQuil. got a prescription with codeine in it yesterday at the doc's and figured this would help... nope.

so everyone needs to wake up with me and join the club of the living dead.

Brr, it was cold and damp when I took the garbage out a 7:15. About 38 degrees, according to local news. Guess I should've worn something more than a tank top and sweats. Supposedly it will clear out today, and starting what the weathermen here call a "moderating" (rather than Warming) trend. Monday may hit 70. Bleah.

Supposed to be 45 today and tomorrow. Debating a trip to SW Minnesota or at least central southern MN > that's where you lose the snow (as opposed to the 5" I was postholing in on a hike Wed. after work. SUCKS!!! And where I wasn't breaking through the crusty snow, it was slushy/slippery under the trees).

Perhaps some geocaching??? ALTHOUGH... I cover take some pictures at a weekend event around here tomororw.

Man I am so happy it’s finally Friday. I’m getting really burned out at work. I get 4 hours of sleep at night and a 2 hour nap in the day but by the end of the week I’m just so frickin’ tired and bltchy. But it’s OK, I made it through the week and will be jumping in the car to go spend time with friends and drink some beers and hike.

Hugs may heal but beer kills the pain… LOL!

I dodged the bullet yesterday; I had to report for jury duty, but they settled during the pre-trial motions. So we all sat around in a conference room for a couple hours, drinking coffee, until the judge called us in to tell us to go home. I was afraid it was going to blow a hole in our weekend plans for a ski trip in the Beartooths. So, we're off this afternoon for Cooke City!http://www.ccsinclair.com/Daily2-3.jpg

I've been lucky, to my knowledge, I've never been called for jury duty.

I suppose I should knock on wood; some kid beat his mom to death with a baseball bat here this weekend, and they're extraditing him back here from Virginny. I'll probably get called up for that.

Yeah, it was a good thing too! The judge said it was a domestic assault case and they gave the guy probation and made him attend anger management classes. I'm glad I didn't have to sit on that one! I would'a slapped him!
