You are here: Home / Blog / Other / And I thought yesterday was cold

January 15, 2009

And I thought yesterday was cold

Mark gets up at the crack of dawn, lets the dog out, and then goes downstairs to exercise.  Eventually, he returns to our bedroom to shower and get dressed for work.  I’m usually only vaguely aware of him when he gets up, and yesterday when he did, the first thing I asked was “How much snow did we get.”

“I just got up!  How should I know!”

See, I’d been dreaming, and I was absolutely positive that he had already BEEN up, and let the dog out and was back for his shower.  In fact, I was sure that the boys were up, too.

We laughed, he went about his business, and the eventual answer was A LOT.

This morning, I made sure I waited until he was back in the room for his shower before trying to ask him any stupid questions.  Like “How cold is it out there?”

His initial response was “Do you really want to know?”

I didn’t really want to know, but…what the heck.

NEGATIVE 21.

Blech.

****

So that’s today’s weather report.  And now, I have a bone to pick with some of my commenters.  Are you guys seriously dissing my Christmas sweater????

(I nicked the picture from my Mom’s blog, it is circa 1995)

I LOVE that sweater.

I still WEAR that sweater.  What you can’t see in the picture is the Christmas presents that are sitting under the Tree (around the bottom of the sweater).

OK, maybe I don’t LOVE it, but I do pull it out and wear it at least once during December, because get this:  the buttons are actually BELLS.  Jingle Bell Buttons.  That Jingle.  It is the most obnoxious sweater and I adore wearing it for that very reason.

So there.

****

And now, I need to go check on my offspring (they’ve had 1 early dismissal, 1 late start and 2 canceled days this week.  Lovely.)

And then, I need to get something done.

Stay warm!

    OK – minus 21 puts our cold snap in SC (may go to 11 one night and not go out of the 30s during the day) in a little better perspective. But we will have lots of burst pipes and I worry about the stray animals and all the homeless we have in Charleston.

    I’m still loving the cold and we have a chance of snow in the forecast for the next 4 days…..I’ve got my fingers crossed that we get some each day. Send it my way! (The cold & snow NOT the sweater).

Instagram post 2196129456853187803_15732201 Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself. —Lois McMaster Bujold, my absolute favorite author, has been named a SFEA Grand Master. This is from her book A Civil Campaign.  I think about this concept a lot. For my #carvedecember carving, I meant the rays to be shallower, but I slipped. I’m also terrible at lining them up. #thepainteddiaries#suzanne_365

I found this mug shortly after signing up for @everythingartuk’s Wanderlust 2020. While drinking and reading, I felt like I was being watched. I think he thought I had ice cream in my mug and was waiting for his turn. #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #suzannegetsmessy#getmessyartjournal #dailyhobbes

My intention was to do some more layering after it was dry, but I kinda like it like this, so I’m going to leave it for now! #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #thelayeredpage #suzannegetsmessy #getmessyartjournal

The cornstalk worked pretty well to spread some gesso around. The ok scone wasn’t super successful, it’s too closed up for defined marks, I think. Words are from a Jane Davenport sticker set. #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #suzannegetmessy #getmessyartjournal #thelayeredpage

Chilly, but pretty out and I kept moving. Swipe for the photo I snapped of her and my house in the afternoon light. #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #thelayeredpage #suzannegetsmessy #getmessyartjournal
Instagram post 2194629814697133317_15732201 “If you can’t be a good example you’ll have to serve as a horrible warning.” I am working on a top secret quilting project and everything that could go wrong with a portion of it...did. Including fusible web stuck to my iron. 🙄 I finally stopped being a moron, though, and have moved on to the next stage of the process. #carvedecember #carvedecember2019 #thepainteddiaries #suzanne_365
