Winter Blues

Okay, not the blues, but the blahs.  The snow has caused me to not leave the house in four days and I am craving the conversation of anybody that I'm not related to.  Also, God, the COLD!  This morning when Aaron woke me up, it was actually -11 degrees.  That is NEGATIVE ELEVEN DEGREES!!  Oh my GOD!  That is forty three degrees below freezing! (is that right?  Did I calculate right?)  And we are talking in fahrenheit too, not celcius.  What would that be in celcius? Pretty frigging cold.  Ugh.  I hate cold.  I can't keep my hands and feet warm.  Thank God for tea, coffee, and soup.

Do I look bothered?  Because I am!

In other news, my Dad (You know him as Titch from my comments) started a blog, so why don't you pop over and see what he has to say.  He's led a very interesting life and done a lot of cool stuff, so I hope you'll enjoy reading his thoughts.  He's quite wise, actually.  Wish he'd have been that way when I was a teenager.  Okay, maybe he was.

I'm taking the week off from blogging to get caught up with my emails.  I've not been very good about keeping in touch with people lately, and I don't want to be that person.  I usually get really upset when people don't write or call back, so I need to get on it.  I haven't even done Thank You cards with the kids from CHRISTMAS!  Do you see how behind I am?  To all my friends and relations who think I am a shitbag, please bear with me.  Toby, I am sorry I said you were dead to me just because you didn't keep in touch with me for a while.  I love you, really.  But don't do it again, or for real, you're dead to me.  I know it's stupid, but I've been so pissed with people for not getting in touch, and the thing is, they don't even realize they've done anything wrong.  So, yeah, anyway, I don't want to be that person and am dedicating the week to writing long letters and emails to the people I love.

And now, the sleepiness is taking over, so I must get some espresso.  I'll be back next week.  Have a good one, and stay warm!!

6 - I'm with you on the cold. I've got a picture of my car thermometer that's going on my blog tomorrow showing -25ºF. That's not a typo. Time for a heat wave, a tropical heat wave. Great pic of you looking bothered. (Comment this)

7 - You definitely look bothered. I wish we had some snow I could be bothered about. It's too weird, this snowless winter we've got going on here in Germany.

Have a nice blogging break. (Comment this)

15 - That coffee photo reminds me about something.... Did you know I didn\\\' drink coffee before knowing you? It had to be a british girl to get a neapolitan started on drinking espresso! The odds of life.

23 - Hey- where are you? 11 days now without a post. I know winter weather can be bothersome, but to me it's so much better than summer. I just cook in the summertime- my skin that is. We lost power in the lovely ice storm that occurred. WE only lost for 36 hours, some are going on 2 plus weeks. (Comment this)
