Yes! No pukage is of the good!

Yay, puke-free VW!

Sparky is so pretty! Which I already knew, but those pictures are great. I loved those pictures.

Well, shit. I just spent an hour and a half writing a long post in my LJ (mostly for myself) about doctors and my experiences with doctors over the last couple of days. And LJ ate it. Bastards.

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.

Isn't this always the way?

Oh and our high today was 14 and it's currently 9. Tomorrow's supposed to get up to 7.

Funny how you don't mention these things when you are trying to get me to move there.

Yay for not puking today, vw!

Great pictures, Sparky! I think it is great that you take your stuffed bunny on your trips with you. You're not the only one I know who has this tradition, so not so silly imho.

I think our high today was around 8 degrees. I know the bank near work said a big fat 0 at 7:30 this morning. Tonight, they're predicting down to -15 overnight. Ugh. It feels like January, already.

Sparky, those pictures are wonderful! NZ has some absolutely fascinating scenery, very eye-catching. It helps that you were in many of those scenes.

vw, I think it is very rude that your LJ ate your post when you are barely able to eat yourself. Rude of it to eat in front of you!

I am very glad that neither you, nor Perkins, has puked today. I hope that you can move on to something more tasty than rice tomorrow.

I'm glad people enjoyed the pictures. I had some trouble assembling pictures for the people here at work that didn't include the bunny and the bear -- a few of them would not understand why a 37 year old woman is hauling stuffed animals around the world, and I'm afraid it would taint their professional view of me.

Funny how you don't mention these things when you are trying to get me to move there.

But... but... it's only today and tomorrow that suck. Then we'll be back in the 30s and 40s. Toasty! And most jobs (unlike mine) won't require you to hike from the parking lot to the building. Besides, you have that hottie bf to keep you warm.

Um... just in case you saw anything on the news about it, yesterday's freakish hurricane winds were a rare occurance. Not normal at all.

::sends MOVE HERE vibes sj's direction::

Ok...doing a nebulizer treatment, and the pets are TOTALLY freaking out. It's kind of funny. I think Toto thinks he needs to protect me from the loud machine. Poor guy!

Our temps have been in the 10s and 20s, but I think we may have passed 30 today. A week and a half ago, we were having record rains. Mudslides, etc. It's kind of funny, because Juneau is famous for rain, but we don't usually get a lot at a time as we usually have breaks and small drops. My dad gets more in a day in California than we'll get in a week. I have been physically unable to complain about cold weather since moving from Fairbanks, where I lived during their coldest month on record (January 1989). It was 45 degrees inside my apartment.

How common are SUVs on the highways of other people's towns?

We have lots here. Many of them are owned by folks with really good reasons, but most are owned by folks who just use them to commute and would do just as well with a smaller vehicle with four wheel drive. You can't always tell who has a good reason, though, so I try really hard to keep my grumbles and gripes to myself. I don't always succeed.

My niece is in Rochester. Does that count for anything? She's not a buffista. Or really a BtVS fan, although she liked it. So, I guess it doesn't count. But she's really great! She's finishing up school at Roberts Wesleyan.

toast:

I skipped like crazy, but saw someone else mention Plei's new job. Congratulations Plei!! I hope it works out wonderfully for you and family.
