Ahhhhh! What is it?

Going . . . going . . . gone.

Probably Surly's fault.

Say what? I think it just popped out here for a minute. Boy I take a lot of grief for things I am "surly" not responsible for.

I loved the Grammy Grinch thing. That is what my kids call my mother who earned the nickname because as and ER nurse she always had to work Christmas Eve and my little brother called her the Grinch one year and it stuck so when I saw you using that SadieKate I had to laugh.

Don't tell anyone but I hope the weather improves for your ride coming up. My brother lives in California so I kind of have to be nice to you girls out there.

Well, in Salt Lake City, Utah, yesterday and today started out with some sun, partly cloudy, ....then all heck and halloween fell out of the sky --- hideous wind gusts, rocking our little tiny RV, and blowing the birds outta the trees, pelting silvermetal rain, and frowning black skies!

Then......the SUN came out!!! Now it's partly cloudy again.....this is the wildest wierdest place I've ever seen (besides Wisconsin where the weather could change from sun to tornado in a flat beer minute!)

My only excuse not to ride is I hurt my right knee (the only good one left) and my son just came home from a two year church mission in Brazil, trailing yellowed-white shirts and only three pair of raggedy socks....so we've been shopping and running like mad!)

But!!! MY SNOW PEAS ARE UP out of the ground!! The tree in our yard is flowering, and it MUST be SPRING!!!!

I just went outside to get lunch and I felt something warm on my cheekbones. It felt odd. It was disconcerting. I even took off my hooded jacket!

Hey--there's some of that blue stuff in Dianyla's avatar. Let's ask her what it could be!
Chicago: Not sunny. Not snowing. Not raining. Just...the usual...grey, chilly, a bit windy when you least expect it. It could be all of the above at the same time, so I'm not griping (today) .

I got in a bike ride today but there was a nasty headwind coming back. Not what I wanted to deal with after not riding for 5 days.

Was there a strange yellow glowing orb also?

Just curious . . . is Seasonal Affective Disorder an admissible defense?

I'm sure it's at least as valid as the Twinkie defense. But I don't do criminal defense, so I am not an expert...

Had brief bout of blue so opened HUGE Subaru sunroof while running errands. Came out of Jamba just in time to close the sucker up before it started sprinkling again.

To what? Eating an entire carton of ice cream, killing your boss ... ?

Hang in there SK - sit down with the Wonder Poodle, some ice cream, some chocolate, a bottle of wine, watch Lost (oops, I mean read a good book ) ...

Beats me... I'm actually standing in front of a gigantic photograph.

And you have my sympathies on Chicago's weather - I spent a week there during a major heatwave last summer. Talk about Satan's Armpit!!

PS: I love your signature quote - my friends are sick and tired of hearing about "the precccciouusssssssss"!
