It's odd. Chicago people who complain about the cold amuse me. For me, it's not cold cold until it gets below zero.

Yeah. Now I'm not saying it was any joy standing on Lakeshore and Belmont for a half-hour waiting for the bus yesterday, but outside of situations like that I don't really see the big. But then I like the cold, once we've had the first couple of days of it and I've had a chance to acclimate.

For me, it's not cold cold until it gets below zero.

Same here. When I left for work this morning, I thought, "Oh. It's brisk today. Glad it's not too windy." I realize it's cold, but I don't think of it as cold cold.

A few pictures from New Zealand. Commentary will appear someday soon, in the LJ.

Wow! Sparky1 those are great pictures. Wouldn't catch me on that bridge though. The B&B looks wonderful. The scenics look otherworldly. Nice.

JEALOUS . Great Pictures!

I should explain, for those that don't know, that bunny who appears in many of the pictures has been with me on trips (and has had his picture taken) since I was 4, so it's a tradition. The bear was a gift from my DH, and now he goes everywhere, too.

What can I say? We're silly.

Lucky bunny.

Lucky bunny is right!

I have no idea what I want for dinner. I'm sick of rice. But, I should probably have more rice.

Fortunately, no pukage today, as of yet.

Great pics, Sparky! The water is gorgeous. Someday I'll see it in person. (The water in NZ, not water in general. I've seen general water.)

I bought some healthy food at the store yesterday. I just don't really want any of it tonight. Tonight I want horribly bad for me food.

Oh and our high today was 14 and it's currently 9. Tomorrow's supposed to get up to 7. Woo hoo? NSM. Mostly because my new Winter Silks (lightweight long underwear) haven't arrived in the mail yet. Possibly because I didn't order any due to the whole having to pay for them. Stupid no money having.

edit: Yay for no puking today, vw!

Fortunately, no pukage today, as of yet.

Me either!

High fives VW.
