Dear So and So

Dear Salsa -

It's makes me laugh when PNWs think it rains everywhere in the PNW.

WHERE'S THE SNOW, DAGNABIT!!!!!!

~SK

I thought you got some?

One day only and now it's back to warm and dry.

This is insane. It was 44F at 5:45 am today.

Dear seller from whom I ordered my stats book:
Please give me the actual ship date (because I doubt you shipped it an hour after I placed the order) and the tracking information? I sort of need this book so I can do the homework in it...

Dear friend:
No, liquor does not have "zero calories".

I suppose it does if you get drunk and vomit up enough calories to make up for the calories consumed......

Personally I consider this a GOOD thing I've suffered through several "typical" Indiana winters with tons of snow and lots of cold temperatures, so am happy to get a "southern" winter for a change. Yay for La Nina! This is, so far, very much like a Tennessee winter - bitter cold for a few days, snow for a few days, warm for a few days...let's just skip the amount of ice and ice storms that is also part of "southern" winters...

I am actually surprised at how happy I am with this weather, but it means our bodies never get a chance to adjust to winter. However, I get to plan outdoor rides for Friday - Sunday, and to be able to do that in January is just plain awesome!

Amen sister!!! I am loving this winter, it's going to be 53 tomorrow!! After the last two winters of being iced in by the first week of December, I'll take it.

Dear Salsabike

well, not just rain but HOWLING WIND! (gasp)

[SadieKate]

Personally I consider this a GOOD thing.

Rememer that you get rain year around. The arid West does not.

We don't get our snow pack, BAD things happen. Lots and lots of bad things.

Dear Mimi,

Is it just me or has it been extra windy this winter?

[Crankin]

Catrin, I agree, I wish my body could acclimatize to winter. It was freezing yesterday and the day before and I, too will be riding outside tomorrow and Saturday, in January. I so want to be on my x country skis, this is killing me. I need a mental break from riding, so I feel fresh in March. It's not like I am a racer, or anything, but I look forward to focusing on something else.

Poor timing for me, though. I'm getting over a cold, so I've got the hyper-reactive airway thing going.

Dear Mimi,

It's just you.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I actually think we have had fewer strong windstorms than usual.

[Biciclista]

and now... BRRRRRR it's cold!!

Dear body:
I'm sorry that I gave you coffee after 2pm. Funny that you don't handle NOT having caffeine well, but you don't handle having caffeine well either. I'd like more than five or six hours of sleep, since I'm getting over the plague.

Dear friend:
Is your religion really the only thing you can think of to talk about on Facebook? How's your job? Your dog? Are you still playing the cello? Hung out with anyone from high school recently? No "look at this cute animal doing something cute!" videos? Talk about one-dimensional...

Dear other friend:
I'm afraid you're not much better. Your updates consist solely of medical school and Zumba.

Dear boyfriend:
I can't listen to Coldplay or the Barenaked Ladies any more without thinking of you. I don't know what to think about that... :/
