B can't have a puppy. B wants a puppy and melts whenever a dog is near, but his life has no room for puppies.

So I'll find him an older dog. I am good at dog selection, kuma not withstanding. Though, honestly, Kuma was a pain free puppy for the most part. AND, he's like the perfect mellow low fuss dog.

The winter here was being so mild! And then Friday or Saturday (I'm beginning to lose my place in the calendar) everything started to plummet.

I think we took the warm weather to NYC and forgot to bring it back.

Or maybe we accidentally left it in SLC when our plane made an emergency stop there.

One day B will get the dog he deserves. I don't think it will be soon.

GP gave me antibiotics when I told him I was on day 5 of a sinus headache. Now I'm on day 6, and more than a little petulant.

I don't understand this weather at all . 2nd cold snap ( meaning freezing temp in NoCal) and it turns out this means 'Spare the Air' which means on top of being cold my allergies are makeing me very cranky indeed.

but I did read the baby jesus story - and I keep laughing

petulance is totally understandable, ita.

What does Spare the Air mean?

Leif, Kara, and that velociraptor boy have to team forces.

Or be prevented from meeting each other at all costs, depending on what you want for the fate of the universe.

Anyone here watched the UK Robin Hood series from this year? How was it?

I've missed something I thing.

I am FREEZING. THIS SUCKS.

I think I need to go back into bed where the warm is. But i'm hungry and the kitchen, which is the coldest room, is where the food is.

It IS cold here. I am watching "Dirty Jobs" in flannel pajamas with a fleece jacket on and a down throw over my legs. It isn't a sexy look, but at least I'm warm.

Spare the Air means that there are enough particulates of a tiny size in the air that those of us with breathing difficulties - might have more. It happens in the summer - and they tell people not to drive, and there are thing like free transpotation. In the winter , ( which I didn't realizes that it even happened now) it happens more at night. cold , damp air is bad for asthmatics. and particulate matter- worse. One thing they ask you to do is refain from burning word, but , it is cold.....

we have the heat on, but it's not enough.

Heat is up. and I hate turning it up . I t goes agains both my new england and scottish blood
