I hope you're all keeping as warm and cozy as possible! Hang in there for a few more days!

It's cold here today, but not like most of you are getting. It's 18*F, going for a high of 19*F today and a low of 14*F tonight. Like some of you, we're supposed to get into the 50s this weekend.

A bit chilly at the office today. I think the cold air is creeping in, because I can feel a chill especially around my feet and legs. Earlier a fan was blowing constantly and it was driving me nuts. It wasn't particularly cold air, but it just ... wouldn't ... stop! I was wearing a hoodie over my sweater to keep off the draft.

Last night was a bit hectic, but nice. We made our airline and hotel reservations for our vacation in June. (Yes, we plan ahead!) To calm down afterward I worked on a digital file I made of one of my Christmas LPs, splitting it into the individual songs and filling in the MP3 tags. It sounds very nice! I'm looking forward to doing more of these throughout the year and re-discovering Christmas music in my collection that I haven't heard in a long time.

My house was cool this morning when I woke up. We are still trying to figure out this radiant heat in the floor. I'm looking forward to the temperatures going up by the end of the week!
 
Turning into a beautiful day here. Looks magical

That is a beautiful picture!
 
Good Afternoon everyone!! Haven't even had a chance to catch up yet today. Spent all morning de-Christmasifying the house. GACK!!

Our weather is insane too. Last night at midnight I posted all the socks and blankets and chill in our bedroom - now 12 hours later, the AC is on. Nope, not kidding - Exhibit A:

I have taken down most everything with the exception of the little crystal decorations and such which reside in the curio cabinet and hutches during the rest of the year. Everything which goes in boxes elsewhere is down and put up. Now I'm moving on to steam cleaning.

This afternoon we have to go look at a new car. Not thrilled with the idea of car payments again, but it's necessary for Bud. Currently paying through the roof for a car rental while he tours. Hopefully this will be better.

Hope you're all doing incredibly well and yes I'm totally aware that most of you would gladly rather be running the AC than sliding on black ice or dealing with record lows. Didn't mean to complain about it... just love cooler weather. :-)

Such crazy weather!
Good luck with the car shopping!
 
Good afternoon all. This is my first post on the new countdown. The countdown will probably not be as fun for me this year. Our son graduates high school in June and will go off to college in August so I will be wishing time passes slowly.

Our family had a good Christmas but it was not the same without mom. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts during this time.

I have enjoyed the cold weather the last few days. Wish we would have gotten more snow but I will take our 5 inches. It was -6 when I left for work yesterday and 8 today. Sorry to say it will be in the low 50s by this weekend. Hopefully we have some more snow and cold weather before this winter is over.

Have a blessed day all.

Welcome back! I almost went up to the mountains last week, but the idea fell through. So far, we're planning a trip in mid-February.

My family plays a game, called Spotto. The first to see a specific thing has to touch as many of us they can before we see it. I am going to start the Christmas Spotto game! Because there are still some decorations around here; looking sad and bedrazzled in this heat unfortunately.

Whew!! Everyone is shoveled out and ready to go. Now to get some more stuff done around the inside of apartment.


Mgramsey- Good to see you back. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.

Snowflake- Glad your heat is back on buddy!!! Hopefully it stays on this time!!!
 
Well its lunch break so while I munch on my burger I have time to get online. It's snowing!!! We may get up to 4 or 5 inches by tomorrow night, then more is on the way on the weekend too! This is our first snow of the year so I am loving seein it fall out my window. I hope everyone is shoveling out and thawing out of the polar vortex! Other than that not much more to report here....I am keeping up my Christmas décor ar home at least through the end of the month I just can't bear to take any down while the snow is on the ground! Well have a great rest of the day folks I will talk to you more tonight!
 
Happy Wednesday!

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes for my daughter with her wrist.

They ended up having to put her in a cast because they think she fractured her growth plate. She has to keep it on for 2 weeks then they will re-xray and if it shows that it is healing they know it is def the growth plate is fractured. They will cast her again for another 3 weeks.

At least it is a waterproof cast and she picked neon green.

It has been so cold her in CT..only around 18 today but will warm up to high 40's by the weekend. Crazy Weather!!

Have a great day everyone and stay warm!
 
Just a quick word here but I had asked for prayer and/or good vibes sent my way for my health. I am happy to say I am in good shape! It was a cyst that we were concerned about and it is benign!

I never want to be an alarmist or pessimistic and was going to wait for prayers IF I got bad news but figured that is a little too late to be asking for prayers. I needed them ahead of time in hopes it all turned out good! It is all good so thank you for prayers and good thoughts sent my way!

Merry On my Christmas Friends!!!!
