Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Damn, that's cold. It almost never gets below zero here, and I am grateful! I guess we'll have that weather tomorrow, but even then it will be a low of 5, they are saying.

Roker's reaction is the funniest goddamn thing I've ever seen.

OK, I finally saw that, and I feel like more people should have the chance to literally drop the mike and walk away. Because it is golden.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

DO NOT WANT to go outside. -1 right now.

Since I grew up in Wisconsin and lived in Mpls, I've decided long ago that I won't complain about how cold it is unless it gets to 0. (Also, "really cold" = -20 or colder.)

Actually, the worst thing about the cold for me is that it's cold in our office. Their furnace just can't keep up, so I'm wearing a t-shirt, long underwear top, thick wool sweater and insulated jacket and boots at my desk, and I'm still a little cold. Well, I brought an extra sweatshirt so I may add that into the mix.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I mimed dropping the mike JUST NOW AIWFG. Why? Because I got my boss the first appointment of the day he wants at the Embassy and I had the case #s and blah blah blah info and all that they wanted. BAM! I should be able to go home today.

The status is NOT quo.

I'm so sorry for the cold people! I am a total wuss at this point and get cold when it's 50. I remember negative temps but can't fathom experiencing them again. Brrrrr.

I broke out my long underwear to wear under my skirt. And the spanish botas (by far the warmest shoes I have.)

I actually think this is the coldest run we've had here this winter (18F right now.) And it looks like snow friday.

Of course. I have a sick cat and a hair appt Saturday.

Compassionately intolerant

I can't believe the temp here is actually going down.

Unfortunately the dog has a different perspective. Stupid dog.

My guy didn't quite catch on immediately to the frigid temp. Once he DID though, he dragged me home so fast, I had to work to keep my balance.

Thank goodness.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Slept uneasily last night. Don't remember details but my dreams involved shoplifting cheese, risky surgery, corrupt cops, being thrown into public political debate without warning and unprepared, a dog who had been a pampered house pet turning relentless tracker to avenge its murdered master, and feral clowns.

I actually changed out of the wool sweater I was going to wear today when I saw the forecast for the rest of the week. It's 23 right now, so I am saving my warm clothes!

I should be able to go home today.

You really should.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's only 19 here, but I'm still wearing tights under my pants, and a sweatshirt under my coat.
