1. It's cold and rainy here. No snow for us, shoot. 2. I've had the crud for 2 weeks, and am finally feeling human again. Everybody around here has had it . . . my doctor was hacking and sniffling when I saw him. 3. I've been going to the gym for several months, haven't been in a week. I really have missed it and am going back today for a walk and a swim. 4. I got no line bifocals last week ( tried them once before with the line and took them back ) this time, I adjusted quickly and can read my book without my glasses perched on the end of my nose ! Got new sunglasses, too. Big, black shades that I love. 5. I'm excited about this year ! Planning some trips, West Virginia, New York City and Memphis in Oct. for the TVCH meet ! 6. I have a third kitty . . . young stray that MAYBE is my youngest cattens sister ( he was a stray also ). Her name is Sister and she's a tub of love. 7. I want to go to lot's of concerts this year and nobody I love is touring right now, boo. 8. I'm in the early planning stages to move next winter, close to the lake about 2 hrs from here. It's beautiful. 9. I wish it would snow down here ! Just once.

8.3 Now I'm reading the local paper and it's saying snow in the foothills (which would be around Palmdale, not Lancaster) but hail on the floor of the valley (that be me.) Also says rain isn't expected til after 10am.

1. Wargod pulled me in with her snow reporting. I thought surely she must be kidding. 2. It's freezing cold here to. Didn't snow today but did yesterday. I hate the cold.

1. Things have gotten weird around my house. DH got laid off the week before Christmas so he is home ALLLLLL the time. 2. You would think that I would love it but after 12 years of him working afternoons to my days I guess I got used to doing things my way. I'm actually finding it harder to do the night routine with the kids when he is around. Strange. 3. Is it Lost time yet? I can't wait!

1. I'm having weird loading issues with TVCH lately so I have not been around much. 2. My family has been sick on and off for about 3 weeks. I'm so tired of it. 3. Last night was the first time I ever had to get a urine sample from Sam. Today was the first time he ever had to get bloodwork, and did an awesome job. He also had to do a poop sample but luckily for me daddy did that since I'm at work. HEHEHE. 4. Unlucky for me, Myla hasn't done her sample yet so I will be stuck doing hers tonight.

1. Yeah, lots of rain, snow, hail, and flash flooding here. Of course it's all invisible and dry so you can't see it or feel it but the forecast assures me it's here. 2. Spit, I'm so sorry your dh got laid off. For the first 5 years Darren was with his company he had 13 shift changes. Just as we'd get used to one, he'd be moved to another. It's really hard to change stuff when you're used to it being one way. I remember one where he got back onto the day shift and the first couple months were just horrible because he had the whole schedule from dinner to bedtime all screwey. Dinner was never at the same time, baths took twice as long as normal, and he'd go in and get the kids wound up as they were going to bed so it took forever for them to go to sleep. It will eventually settle down and you may have to work out routines that work for both of you (I ended up being more flexible on dinner and baths and he agreed bedtime should be a more quiet occassion....and then he went back on swing shift.) 3. Earlier I was sitting here falling asleep. Laid down and took a quick 20 minute nap and now I'm feeling quite perky. 4. Caleb has running club today so I don't have to pick him up for another 30 minutes. Oh dang, poor kids are out there running in the invisible snow and hail! 5. I've gotten quite a bit of enjoyment out of the weather reports and alerts and emergency broadcast thingies today, lol. The sun has gone back to hiding and there's some pretty nasty looking clouds but other than the cold it's really not that bad outside.

1. There's a mini lake in my backyard! 2. It's 42 degrees in my backyard and if the temp drops more, maybe I can go ice skating...lol! 3. On the way home from work this evening, over the radio, there was a warning for a possible tornado in Long Beach/Seal Beach. 4. It's pouring as I type up my little weather report. 5. Little Harley (my 10 week old doxie pup) had never experienced the rain and he was romping around and trying to bite or lick it...so funny. 6. Okay, I reached 6.

1) tired - got up @ 5:30 & was @ the office @ 7:20. 2) don't have to be @ work until 8 but I'm always early. 3) It's been he!! around the office lately because I HAD the greatest boss & corp. realized that & promoted him & transferred him out of state. His last day with ME was 1/04. 4) Guess who's doing his job! Yep - I'm keeping everything running around here until they transfer me in my new boss. 5) That wouldn't be so bad because I am the Business Administrator @ my co. but....my assistant sucks! 6) No doo-doo, she has been with the co. for 6 months & I'm still doing 25% if not more of her job. 7) Put an ad in the local paper starting last Sun. for her job. Told her: I'm so busy, I've been given the ok to get a 2nd assistant so I am not so overloaded - truth be known - the new person WILL BE her replacement. 8) current asst. was off/no pay 2 days last wk & took off again today. Ya think she's trying to get fired - I do. 9) I've got her on a co. regulated action plan & have wrote her up & had it right up to the 3 days off/no pay phase. My Co. states that all action plans start over the 1st of the calendar yr so I'm screwed. She got the 1st phase of the NEW action plan last wk when I gave her a verbal warning. The next phase is happening the next time I see her - written warning with the next violation resulting in 3 days off/no pay. 10) ok, I'm on 10 & I could do more. I'm going to enjoy getting to fire that one! I hate it that I'm going to give her what she wants! What a loser!

1. We now have a snow advisory. Says between 2-4 inches in the foothills and likely some on the valley floor. I'm a little worried about Darren getting to work since if there is snow, they'll have it out that way more than we would at home. 1.5 It's been raining pretty steadily since about 5 (started sprinkling on and off around 3) and it is really, really cold out.

1. Spitfire, no worries. If anything it would have been more of a high wind type of event rather than a tornado...hmmm, I hope anyway! I didn't hear any outcome so that's a good thing otherwise, it would have been all over the national news I'm sure. 2. The weather channel tells us that we're going to get lots of rain into next week and it's a cold rain as well...brrrr. My thoughts go to those who live in the burn areas and possible mudslides, etc. The ground can only absorb so much rain. 3. I still have a mini lake in my backyard and I have to "wade" through it with my new puppy, Harley, in my arms so his little feet don't get wet. All this to continue with the potty training on a grassy area in the backyard...lol! 4. It's nice to see one of my very favorite threads having all this activity...I love it! 4.1 Marm and beanie!! Have a wonderful time meeting up together!!!

1. No, no snow on the floor of the valley. The little bit of mountains (most are still covered in low, dark clouds) got quite a bit though. 2. They're still talking about more snow today (or tonight) and tomorrow. 3. It got very windy last night around midnight and lasted several hours. It's still kinda breezy and cold with lots of dark clouds and weather forecast is saying more rain today. 4. Listening to the weather, I didn't get much sleep last night and I'm struggling to stay awake today. Not good since nephew will be here all day long. 5. Sis is on her way over to visit for a while. I think she's having one of those lack of adult contact days, lol.

1) It's been sooooo cold here all day. It's been a dry cold though. 2) about 4:30 the wet hit & because it's soooo cold, the wet was freezing where it hit. 3) we're expected to have this crap all night & through most of tomorrow. 4) It wouldn't be so bad except I'm stuck driving the "old" car. Frank's in Dallas since last Sunday on Business & he took my "new" car. 5) the old car isn't really all that old - 2002 gmc blazer - but it has over 100g miles on it so it's been out of town enough in the 5+ years that we've had it. 6) the heater went out on the blazer a little over a yr ago & to fix it they have to take the whole dash out which means very expensive repair job. 7) I keep it in the garage so I'll start out being able to see - I'm lucky that I only live 8 min. from my office if I take the loop so I'll be ok in the morning as long as the over passes aren't real bad. 8) if the over passes are too risky, I'll have to take a dif. rt which will take over twice as long & I'll prob. look like some redneck with my head hung out the window trying to see where I'm going. 9) I also go to the bank mid morning & tomorrow I'll have to swing by the bakery to pick up a cake for one of my employee's birthday (I always get employees decorated birthday cakes & everyone in the office celebrates a little). 10) No, I can't send my worthless assistant because she doesn't have a car. She gets dropped off (hauled off) by whoever she can con a ride out of - that is when she actually decides to come to work.

.5 Hi Deb, glad to see more posting here! 1. Went out to my sisters this morning. Baby niece was getting changed out of her jammies into her clothes and I just had to laugh. She is the chunkiest little thing! 2. Had a very, very rough morning with Kota. She didn't want her hair brushed at all. Neighbors probably think I was beating her senseless! Then she didn't want to brush her teeth, get her school stuff together, or get her jacket. She ended up being 15 minutes late to school. When we pulled up in front of the office, she wanted to know if I was really going to make her go in late. My theory is the little stinker was trying to get out of going to school, lol.

1. I realized tonight that I left my cell phone at sis' house this morning. 2. Dakota's going to a sleepover tomorrow night. Her bff and bff mom will pick her up at 8:45...in the morning, lol. They have some little league stuff to do tomorrow and she's gonna hang out at the park with them. Might even try out for softball (unfortunately, it may be too late to sign her up now.) 3. Caleb is looking forward to a sister free weekend. To tell the truth, I'm kinda looking forward to them having some time apart too! They've been bugging the heck out of each other lately.

1. I am HOME! 2. Beanie and I had GREAT margaritas and food and that towering chocolate lava cake! 3. And it was GREAT to see her again. I think she went shopping at the outlets and I went on to St. Louis to stop at the casino before I got home. 4. Oh, yeah, we talked about all y'all!
