Thursday

First of all, let me just say this: BRRRRR!!!
Today, the HIGH is going to be -10. Yes, you heard that right. The high.
Right now, it is -25.

In just 4 days, we leave to go to this place. The high there today is supposed to be 67. Okay, slap me in the face and call me cold...but that is 92 degrees higher than here. 92. I salivate at the mere thought of going. Sorry frigid friends...I'd take you with if I could, but since I can't, I'll have to sacrifice without your smiling faces for a week.

And not to pour salt on your wounds...but we're staying in a hotel that is described as this: "one of the most luxurious hotels in town" and "the rooms are more European than Vegas" and "Rooms have somewhat stately furniture, including painted, scallop-topped armoires; thickly draped half-canopies over the beds; and crown moldings on ceilings. The marbled bathrooms rocketed virtually to the top of our list of favorites".

I shall take my camera...and my laptop. I simply must post pictures of this glorious winter warmth. But, truthfully, if we were staying at the Super 8 - our normal choice - I'd still be as happy as a live goose the day after Christmas because it is ...let me say it again....92 degrees warmer!!!

Jealous. I am totally jealous.

Ahhh that sounds awesome. 'Cept it's not as cold here as it is there. It's cold, but not below-zero cold. I hope you get a picture of a beautiful, warm, sunshiney sunrise. But maybe you will get to sleep in, instead. That would be lovely too.

You have a cousin (Bob) who lives in Henderson. Maybe you could give him a call?

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...
