I just checked and the forecast for Toronto is 35 degrees and snow. Ugh.

Welcome to my new world.

Mwah. Hah. Brrr.

t mememe update

Blergh. Called interview place #2, , told them about place #1's offer, asked for a timeline. The committee meets after lunch and someone will call me back before the end of the day.

I spent 3 hours last night and this morning with the local public transit website and the campus shuttle schedule, and it looks like no matter where I go, either David or I will have an extra 1 1/2 to 2 hours of commute time a day between Matilda's daycare and Emmett's school.

::headdesk::

That may be true MM. But I get to leave the snow on Saturday.

Bwahahahaha!

{{{JZ}}} I'm sorry this is all so difficult.

Another great dentist visit! I get to have a deep cleaning this Saturday! And a root canal in mid-January! Whee!

~ma for your friend's girlfriend, Sox.

IObring-out-the-bubble-wrapN, I cut myself on salsa. That's right, I said salsa. Did the dishes, then dropped a empty salsa jar complete with that nasty crusted gunk around the lid into the dishwater. In the process of trying to rinse it off, I got a cut, half inch long.

Ok, so I'm being a baby about it, but seriously. Sharp salsa, whodathunk?

But I get to leave the snow on Saturday.

You may leave the snow...but the snow doesn't leave you.

The cold will stick in your bones like...like...extra bone marrow.

Cold bone marrow. Made of marrow-like ice.

And stuff.

MM, I so wish you would write novels - the likes of Gaiman or especially Pratchett come to mind - you have such an amazing imagination. I bet you could easily create and write about wonderful imaginary worlds and situations.

And Jess, if you see this, I think E has a twin in Denver. I was in front of a guy at a traffic light that looked just like him. Well, until he started speed-eating what looked like french fries. I've never seen someone stuff so much food in their mouth in such a short time. (It'd be funny if E were in fact traveling in Denver for some reason and you were able to tell him over the phone, "You're gonna choke if you snarf down fries like that. Slow down and chew, m'kay?")

I've been trying to remember my most miserable Chicago day. When the snow was horizontal and I had frost on my eyebrows and I couldn't see- my eyes were tearing up so bad. Nope. It's no good. I still miss winter.

I still miss winter.

You have your choice of any number of Buffistas to visit that live in wintery areas.

I lived in CA for 6 or 7 years before moving to CO right after graduating high school. It took me four times of moving back and forth between CA and CO to realize that I loved CO. I bitch about the heat and the cold from time to time but this is "home".

I try really hard to remember that when my tires are spinning on ice.

Awww. Thank you.

Now if I weren't stuck on Chapter Two of my Gaiman/Pratchett-esque novel...
