Oh I wish I could. Some fantastic sinus presure going on today. Should be fun trying not to cough or drip on my clients this morning. Maybe a nap will be in order later. (A sure sign I am in a bad state).

MOrning!

Its bright and sunny here, perhaps my mother brought the sun from FL. She flew in last night for a long weekend. We're all headed to my brother's house today to celebrate my niece and sister's bdays. The kitties are certainly enjoying the sun through the windows.

I have Monday off from school for mid-winter break. If only I could get a break! Gotta keep E on schedule, so I was up promptly at 6:15AM. Oh the fun!

G'night.

Good morning.

"Today: Mostly sunny, with a high near 77. Northeast wind around 10 mph." NWS

It's already 74 and beautiful outside, I bet the temperature goes above the predicted 77 into the 80's today.

I looked outside. No snow! Viva!

I don't know how much longer I can stand this. It's another beautiful day in Melbourne, Florida. We need a change in our weather, something, anything!

Addie had croup so we ditched church. Luckily, we still had some of the steroid from when she had it last time. To make the weekend even better, she lunged out of my wifes arms while in the bathroom, hit her face on the tile and chipped a front tooth. We did get to spend most of Sat outside playing the backyard, so that was good.

PS, Prattville, AL has been in the news today because of tornados. This is where my brother in law and sister in law live. It's a nice town that's a bedroom community to Montgomery. Lots of rolled cars in the Wal-Mart parking lots, lots of houses and businesses without roofs. A strip mall is totally gone. Scary stuff.

Good morning, it's 57 degrees out and almost all the ice we had has melted. It's great to see the bare ground again. It was such a mess out there and the snowpack with ice on top of it made the hiking difficult. Now the sun is trying to come out and it looks like it'll be a great day.

Morning. I'd love a cinnamon bun, frosted or not!
A school I used to work at is burning. It's a sad sad thing. It's a facility for trainable mentally handicapped kids from all the surrounding cities. Probably the most difficult school in the area to replace all the equipment. The kids will have a hard time in new environments too. =(

Today is my birthday...there's a pile of flowers in a jar in the sink waiting to be arranged and Bill sent me a lovely email...already this birthday is proving better than last years even though the weather outside is the same as last year...3F with the wind making it feel like -30...

It is now time to make myself a Bailey infused cappuccino...I deserve it! I've lived forever!

What, Sass? In your district?

Whew, I think I"ll take working over staying at home! E is cranky today, and I'm off because of President's Day. I'm SO tired. My mom is coming back over here from my brother's house sometime today.

A bit snowy here, after a full day of rain yesterday. We're almost to twice the average snowfall for the year.

GOOD MORNING! Today's the day guys. Interview at 9. Keep yer fingers crossed for me please. Not only that interview well, but that I can get there! It's hella icy out there and we are out of salt. Yes, it's true Detroit sits on top of a huge salt mine, but apparently we need to sell it to Chicago instead of keeping some for ourselves! =)

Sass, it made the news up here. Wow.


I'm up, and at school though we have a 2 hour delay. Wanted to get some work done, plus I was up and the baby was ready to go. Roads are awful here.

My mom flies back to FL this afternoon. I'm already missing her!

Sass, I'll send up a prayer that all goes well! I know you'll do great!

-20, but sunshine. It's interesting how a cloudy 10 above feels colder than a sunny -10.

Nutmeg has her surgery tomorrow morning; I may bring her in tonight. She's pretty good about going into the cage to get her food, so the trip should be no problem. I wonder how long before she'll trust me again?

So, it cold cold again...-14...You're right, Nimblefoot...the sun makes everything seem warmer...

I had a really nice birthday yesterday..began with a most excellent cappuccino and ended with a bubble bath...earned major brownie points at work by coming in, not only on my day off but on my birthday, to make sure they would make a shipment...bought my boss a caramel latte which added to my lustre...I chose that time to put in my LOA requests for Canoecopia and for taking Bill to the airport at the end of the month...dancing, it's a good thing.

After work I filled Bill's Silvarado up which blew him away so he was extra nice...yep, it was a good day.

Since I worked yesterday I was able to come in late today...nice...slept in...good breakfast...watch the sunrise...and, later, voting...

Chicago ran out of salt in the last few storms ....they've had to mix the left overs with sand to make it go farther LOL! It's been one heck of a winter, I guess!!
