    KG-I am so happy for you and so sad for me. Enjoy the snow for me, please? We hit 66F today. Make some snow angels for me, please? Oh and catch snow flakes on your tongue as well.
    Enjoy the trainer. I love mine, miss it, but love it.

    CWR-I am glad you wore your fuzzies to help keep your toes happy. Please stay off your feet when not working. For me? Just until you see the doctor.

    OTG-I will give a report as soon as I am able.

    My husband and twins went out a bought a tree. Needless to say it is beyond huge. It is wider than my love seat. I will post a pic once it is decorated.

    heh. I was on that tangent earlier, elsewhere. Relationships are either 50 50 or someone gives way too much. Eventually, hopefully, that giver snaps and says "Woah hang on, what am I DOING?!" but... sadly, not always. What would happen if suddenly the giver stopped? The relationship would likely disintegrate... the give/take balance would be completely disrupted.

    I wish people would wake up, too... but it's not bloodly likely. So a**holes will keep using perfectly wonderful, warm, sweet people and convincing those sweet people that they're "lucky to have them around.".

    ok, I'm mad. Off to have a pleasant evening w/ DGF (who is pretty 50 50, and if not, I think I'd be the taker, there....)

    ....and I'm damm lucky. I know I am.

    Thats why I'm divorced after 22 years of marriage. It took awhile to figure it out.

    Cyclchk (or however you spell that) - are you having a bad day relationship-wise? Sorry... But the answer is yes. Even with mr. perfect, there are still things I wonder about. Why do I put up with that? I guess it's mostly because the good things so far overshadow the little bad things that it's worth it. Nobody's perfect, especially not me.

    So what did he do today?

    me too. how do you pronounce it? do you pronounce the G?


    well, there's snow mixed in the rain this morning. It's bitter cold okay, for HERE it's bitter cold, about 36 degrees. DH wants to ride today. He's gone off the deep end and I am NOT following him.
    Yesterday was bad enough at 38 with sunshine. This is 36 with snow mixed with rain falling down.
    crazy crazy crazy. i'm not going there!

    Instead i will do fun INDOOR activities, thank you very much.

    It was nice to have ridden yesterday, but the pain in my hands was very disturbing.
    I only went 16 miles. did my arms shorten up since October? what the heck is going on?

    CrazyC, (we have two CC's i noticed) you are right that we would miss the humor. When watching british or australian films I do a lot of huh? what did he say?
    and that's with words I already know.

    Thanks everyone for tolerating my rant earlier. Partly it was due to too much wine - I have become such a lightweight now that I am on a healthy kick. One lil' ol bottle that used to just tease me now knocks me on my proverbial arse.....

    KEL - We are re-doing our kitchen. Ripping out cabinets, sinks, etc. And we are both so strong willed and stubborn. Combine that with wine on my part and its sure to spell a night of squabbles. My DH is really a good guy. The best even. And yes , Mr. Wonderful fits him well. Its just sometimes working together isn't always the smartest avenue.... tomorrow at least the wine will be gone and I'll have coffee. (Gawd, have I turned into such a lightweight that one lil ol bottle is gonna give me a hangover???? )

    Coffee fixes everything

    hahah

    CCHCk..yes coffee fixes everything...ahhhh..
    I'm sure you'll get through fixing your kitchen without having to strangle your dear.

    I guess I can sort of relate when Ian first tried teaching me how to drive...Let's just say I found a nice driving instructor, failed the test 3 times but now have my licence. It's not that i was a really bad driver, i have difficulty with judging distance & depth with my left eye.

    May I ask why you're dreaming of Boston?

    BM03 will probably tell you Tim Tams fix everything..? Christmas crumbs perhaps?
    Peeps are nice after being in the freezer!!!

    I am counting myself lucky atm...I just looked at the weather forecast for Grand Prarie & Edmonton.. Do i ever feel guilty...Grand Prarie's expecting a high of -26C on Monday. Fort Mcmurray's warmer..hahahaha..
    I need to go back to Canada just to experience that temp again. I've been away from temps that cold for a few years now.

    Sticking my head in the freezer just doesn't do it for me..

    the weather here? Wet. From October to April. Wet. Blinding flashes of some unknown orb rising in the sky in the east, thankfully obscured by the soft, mother-like clouds, then setting in the west, where it can no longer harm us...
    yay for pnw.
