sleet



Last night, we did a bit of shopping for some hunting equipment for Shawn's upcoming trip. (a bed to be exact. Is that considered "equipment"?)

We (me, Ab, and Em) coaxed Shawn into going to Cold Stone for a treat. Trust me, it didn't take much coaxing.

It was a chilly night and we really should have been drinking cocoa.

When we walked out with out with our ice cream - me with my chocolate and snickers by the way a fantastic combination - it was sleeting.

Yes maam you heard me right. SLEET.

You know what that means. Winter is here, a bit early I might add.

I'm really bummed that we can't just run out of the house for an errand without bundling everyone up and making sure they have shoes on. Stupid old winter.

There is no temperature guideline for when you can eat Coldstone. Oh my gosh, YUM!

I'm thinkin' I'd stick to the hot cocoa at that point. But I've never had Coldstone either. The dreaded winter..... And YES a bed could be called equipment. Especially if you intend to share the trip! The ground really stinks.

Oh man. Winter already?? But there is something beautiful about all that ice, so sparkly (except when you have to drive on it).

I missed the sleet! Daniel's car had a beautiful white covering of frost though! While I don't have to bundle any kids to go out anymore, with 2 little dogs, I have to bundle MYSELF to take them out---several times a day!!!

coffee

I have to take issue with something. Dave Ramsey... love him. usually. But, today... I got an email from him (not because we're personal friends but because we've paid to take his FPU class)... and he had the NERVE to say that coffee is not a necessity. it is a luxury. I'm contemplating my open letter to him. Something like this... Dear Dave, Although I appreciate all that you have done in your life and ministry, I have to take issue with one point. Coffee is not a luxury. How can I ask my husband to extend a special line item in our budget for Starbucks when you continue to claim that it is a luxury? Let me educate you on the value of my daily Starbucks .... First of all, it is research... when I get the necessary funds, I plan to open my own coffee shop, and it is vital to my financial peace that I complete the research needed for a successful coffee shop. Secondly, ... have you SEEN me in the morning when I don't have it? Do you work beside me? No... you haven't

Quick! Call an Ambulance!

I went on a bike ride with my 9 year old yesterday. Okay... I will wait a minute while you gain your composure. You don't have to be so loud about it. I had been promising her that we would go on a bike ride together for a few days. Why didn't I promise her a trip to Starbucks for a nice hot latte? So, we ditched a few responsibilities and went on a bike ride. But, I didn't have a bike. So, I was going to walk. She said I could borrow Abbie's bike. Except Abbie has the bike seat from the land down under - you know what I mean. And my rear was not meant to sit on that tiny thing. But, I rode it anyway. After we crossed the street, we started heading down the road and it was pretty nice for a couple minutes. Luckily, my dad lives 2 blocks away, so we had to stop there to say hi and to tell him that we are on a bike ride. Then, we headed back on our bike ride. We left my dad's and there is a slight hill. Emily got tired just-in-the-nick-of-time so I had to walk
