I won't say what our weather was like today. But lots of your neighbors are
here for the winter, and they are all running around in shorts.

Yup, not much else for her to do other than hang around. G You don't
know how
much I envy you your 50+ temps. Yesterday and today were -10 when
daughter left
for school - and that is without windchills. They were predicting a high
of 5
today, probably hit it somewhere but certainly not my town. I think we
may have
made it to 2F. It's cold, cold, cold! The roads are horrid, yet we
haven't had
much snow. We had a lot of light flurries ... salt dumped quickly to melt
the
mess. Problem was that the bottom dropped out of the temps, thus freezing
the
melted goop, and the flurries kept coming down on top of the frozen stuff.
Makes
for some rather messy and dangerous traveling. I decided to just stay
home
yesterday, but sonny boy had to make the trek home from school ... said it
was NOT
fun. Roads were better today, had to venture out to the dr. with the hub.

I'm hoping spring will be here soon. February is right around the corner!

She'll hang around till you can visit. It was 53F here yesterday but
poured all day - ALL DAY. It was 46F at 3,000 feet in the mountains
yesterday and raining there, too. You may see spring yet.

Why thank ya sir! I only wish it wasn't so cold here, that I could get
out to
their home and visit. The roads are horrid, snow covered ice - which
will more
than likely remain until the temps rise (heaven only knows when). My
kids aren't
as frightened of the conditions as I am ... they are heading out to
visit anyway.
I'll continue patiently waiting, inside - where it's nice and warm. G

Well, I am grazing the the choc choc mini meringues right now.

And I'm munching away on my dried apple rings. Of course, I already
had my hot
fudge sundae ... hours and hours ago. I looked at the mini choc
chip meringues
sitting on my counter, but the bag of apple rings next to it called
louder.

Ah, better discipline. I would have had a skinny cow but I was
exhausted and actually went to bed. Now doubly exhausted having
returned from an 11 mile ski trip - GREAT snow - yeah, I'm sure
you've
never heard such comments regarding snow (G)

LOL! Not around here anyway. I do hear people moaning about not
having any snow,
can't wait for the first one. They are always the same ones who also
moan when we
get the second snow ... saying enough is enough. Some people are
never happy. G

Apple rings again at my side, although I have more than enough points
for several
servings of meringues. Am just not hungry at all today. And dinner
was
fantastic! We ordered carryout from a local place, was one of those
hectic days
(daughter finally gave birth to our newest granddaughter). I ordered
grilled
salmon with a smidge of teriyaki sauce. It came with grilled veggies
(which was
yellow squash, zuchini, peppers and onions) rice and salad ... I
skipped over the
rice. So very filling dinner, not overly heavy pointwise -
considering lunch was
scrambled eggbeaters with tons of veggies, and a big bowl of cut of
fresh fruit.
I did think about the skinny cow earlier this evening, but it really
didn't
interest me. It is wierd how I get sometimes.
