You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

6:00 a.m., same alarm. I've given up on getting any more sleep, fled to Denny's for breakfast.

Suzi didn't scare me away. I'm a hermity hermit myself.

Yay for all the adulting today. I shoveled and picked up more branches. Then got all cozy to watch the baseball game and whoops fell asleep.

Steph, Boulder/Superior is a great laid back place to live hope your brother is enjoying it.

Today I get to tackle the mess inside the house. It is insane how quickly a place gets with just 2 humans and a pug. I could vacuum everyday if I wanted. I don't want, so it only gets done a couple times a week. Working on my yard I could do everyday so this snow needs to melt asap.

I recently discovered hiking and I love it. It is the first exercise I've found that I like and will keep up with. I want to go so badly today, but I fear the trails will be a bit muddier than my taste. I don't mind snow packed and a little ice but the mud bogs me down and messes with my enjoyment. My DH thinks I'm crazy for walking up mountains voluntarily and really crazy that I'd choose snow over mud. Silly man.

Sheryl hope the birthday was wonderful.

Thanks for all the warm greetings!

Yay hiking! I hope the weather cooperates with you, Becky.

Ugh, dcp. My sympathies, that sounds dreadful.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, dcp, that is the worst.

My plan to try and get to the doctor today has been foiled by torrential rain and flooding.

We went hiking yesterday - both the kid and the dog went to bed early so we have to get out there more often!

Happy Patriots' Day! My niece's husband to be (on Saturday) is running in the Boston Marathon today so I will be clicking his bib number. He's going out in wave 1, which means he could be done before I've eaten my lunch.

That's awful dcp! I hope you get a refund or hotel points or something

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

so I will be clicking his bib number.

Oh, I should check and see if Tim's cousin is running it again. (He's the guy who finished 225th OVERALL a few years ago. That's ridonkulous speed.)

Argh! Left my Fitbit at home. Now nothing I do counts.

I know sometimes disruptions are beyond a hotel's control, but multiple carbon monoxide alarms in the wee hours sounds like something they need to be apologetic about to the point of refunds or vouchers.

Yeah, there should be some kind of "thanks for your patience" gesture at the least, I would hope.

Hey, company provided lunch today! Three-hour meeting around it, but still.
