We're not expecting our sleet and freezing rain until Monday. But I shopped today anyway to avoid the rush. I'm thinking of making a lemon pound cake tomorrow. It seems like it would be a sunny snack for a winter weather day.

A friend who had invited me out last night invited me out again. I bailed last night, so I felt guilty and went out to meet up. We had a great time having dinner and drinks and watching the slam dunk contest on ESPN (surprisingly entertaining), and then I walked home. When the wind blew, I thought I might die. I got home and checked my phone and it was ONE DEGREE. This very well may be the coldest weather I've ever been out in.

Last night was cold, made colder by the fact Mom prefers the house to be frigid at night (she says the heater makes the air to dry at night, I pointed out we have a humidifier.).
I should have gotten the space heater and plugged it in but I kept getting up to put on layers because my shins were cold...my pj pants and leggings kept riding up. There's a pair of leg warmers I finally unearthed and put on.

I have no choice but to mention my open sliding doors and windows. Typical weather this week with highs in the mid 70s and lows in the mid 60s. LOVE this time of year.

Apparently we set a new record low today. It's 6 at the moment.
We gave ltc her first taste of solid food today. We started with rice cereal. After everyone warned us not to freak out if she didn't like it, she absolutely loved it! She ate her first bites down like an expert and then enjoyed playing with the spoon.

Oh fun, sj! Good to hear it went well. Brace yourself for the more interesting diapers.

I've done enough babysitting in my life that I'm ready, but TCG has no idea what's to come.

What do you mean "no choice"? Did the evil just burst out? No, I'm not bitter about your weather.

I've been on a roll with cooking lately it's feeling fun after a long time of being a chore. Probably because I have someone to cook for and Mom is willing to do the dishes.
Tonight was pretty basic - just Mexican rice bowls. Even though I didn't put enough water in the rice and couldn't find the lime for the gauc I got everything back on track and it was fairly tasty.
That was pretty much my Valentine's Day. And my tax refund came through so that's good.
