Goood Morning! Happy Monday!
Good morning.
Happy Monday is an oxymoron.
Especially when the roads are icy.
They're better now than they were yesterday, though. Was out at the house when a sleet / freezing rain mix started coming down. Gosh, I hate that *sound*! I waited long enough for the trucks to have started out with salt but not long enough for much more of the stuff to have come down and headed home. Took the interstate assuming I'd go slow - it's the straightest, least hilly route, and ya know when it's icy you notice even the SLIGHTEST incline!
I went 25 mph the whole way, sometimes more like 15. I figured I was pretty much guaranteed to go off the road at some point, but at least I'd go off slowly. Nobody tried to pass me, even at that speed. That's how bad it was.
When I got home and got inside, I started shaking all over. Darn near cried. Those were by far the worst driving conditions I've been out in.
Can I pleeeeeaaaase have some nice -30 weather?
'Morning Hobbitses!
think I'll watch the whole trilogy today.
It's raining here but there's freezing rain north of us. They're saying freezing stuff tomorrow night, though.
Couple more months and this weather will pass, the land will begin to grow and bloom with new life!
Still haven't done that yet... have you started?
No....still watching the news.
More local weather.
They're saying "potenital for big ice storm Tuesday night.
Good Morning All - 'tomorrow might be a repeat of Jan 2002' quoteth the weatherweenie. We shall not be pleased. However, it may not come to pass and will hold to that thought.
Rosie - you did good. Icy roads are tough to negotiate.
OT - best get bread, milk, coffee, and tuna. :-)
I just wish it'd hurry up and get cold first. Cold is a pain, but I can live with it. But one ice storm after another isn't my idea of a proper winter.
they're sayin' that here too... whoohoo... might get a little more bow huntin' in... season closes 15 January...
Got lots of ham!
Think I'll use the bone to make pasta fagioli today.
heh - always room for one more deer in the freezer, eh?
Mornin'. It's gonna be in the high 60s here today. Trouble is, we know it won't last. I'd rather it stay cold and not tease us like this.
Thought it was gonna be one of ~those~ mornings...and it kinda still is...
Got Jr. up and ready for school, then went to the gym. First mornin' for puttin' in the contacts at the gym. Did okay with the left, but I was tryin' out the new extended wear version they gave me. Dropped the right one. When I found it, it was torn...sigh...back to the one day wear.
Then the shirt the cleaners had to redo (their fault) was missin' a button, and one of the collar buttons is broken, but functioning...
Thought it was gonna be a three-fer, but I found my security pass in the pocket of my raincoat. So all was good.
Then I started opening up email. Sigh...they're baaaaaack.
I got emails that Rasputin sent out on Saturday - New Year's Day.
That's just frickin' sick.
383 days...not that I'm counting...
Good mornin' Corin! :~D
Icy roads always make me nervous. What's worse is when they're just on the edge of being icy and you're just not sure if you're going to hit a patch of ice you didn't notice and spin out. *shudder*
Well, I might play ous too, a little later...
Or.. I may stick with the plan of cleaning and rearranging, and today we could do the living room!
Sounds like somebody needs to get a life!!
Maybe we'll watch the second half of ROTK EE today!
Clare started a Writing class at the local community college this morning! She goes for two weeks from 8 til noon each day. Gets three college credits for it!
