steal a giggle

Ok, I can't take credit for this, but I'm posting it because No. 1, it's hilarious; No. 2, it's true and No. 3, I'm buying time in between my last post and the most awesomest, funniest and coolest (pun INTENDED) post EVER. It's worth the wait, I promise. 

A co-worker forwarded it to me, so I don't think I'm violating any copyright laws...

temperature test

In some states, people lay eggs on the sidewalk to see if they fry. We do that too... to see if they’ll freeze.

PS: THUMBS UP to Kyle J. She is the FIRST to comment on my Freeze Me You Devil blog. Thanks Kyle, and thanks for rocking. I should tell you though, your comment was so mean I cried. And then my tears froze.

morning sickness

Every morning I listen to the national news as I get dressed, curl my hair and sip my coco-latte concoction. This morning, my stomach lurched... 

Check out Chicago, the weatherman said. Schools are starting late so the temps can warm up a little before the kids walk to class. Today's high is 15 degrees there, that's not with windchill, no, no, no, he said, that's just air temp.

Inner-city Chicago kids may have poor schooling, public transportation and rival gang violence, but they've got nothing on me and my N.D. homies. Nothing. 

Current North Dakota air temp: 25 below. Today's high: minus 12. Yes, really. And our kids are in school. 

A big THANK YOU is due to Renee M. who texted me last night saying, Wish you Warmth... it's 50 DEGREES HERE.

Awesome Renee. We're only talking a 75 DEGREE difference. The least you could do is share.
