Still, we did get a little bit of ice/rain mix, today. So, at least we had a taste of winter. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-15462949149572469622008-03-07T20:42:00.000-06:002008-03-07T20:42:00.000-06:00Sounds like you got our storm.

It's going to take me a while to get through The Omnivore's Dilemma because I'm finding it a tad dry, but it's a fascinating subject so I'm just going to keep on plowing away. Thanks for the recommendation. :)<BR/><BR/>Les,<BR/><BR/>We actually think we're freezing when it hits the 50's. You get a little pitiful about cold when you live in the South for too long. LOL But, I loved the cold when I lived farther north! I could readjust! I know how to layer and everything. :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the vote!!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-82231415187426406692008-03-06T20:03:00.000-06:002008-03-06T20:03:00.000-06:00We were freezing, I swear.Welcome to my world!

Ah, but today was a balmy 40 and after a brisk walk with Annie, I managed to warm up just enough to leave the thermostat alone when we got home. Only 2 more weeks of winter!!<BR/><BR/>Off to vote for Miss Sunshine. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-50816626364177487552008-03-06T19:40:00.000-06:002008-03-06T19:40:00.000-06:00Yeah!

I'm sure it'll be fixed soon, but it's annoying.<BR/><BR/>It'll probably take me weeks to finish The Omnivore's Dilemma. I can't seem to concentrate at all.

Unfair!!! We very seldom get snow and I don't think I'll ever stop missing it.

SUCH WEIRD WEATHER. And my area of NC hasn't seen ONE FLAKE this year. However, I hear we're supposed to get more severe thunderstorms tomorrow, and I'm just hoping it all turns to ice on the way down. I miss coldness and white on the ground. Not that TX got a whole lot, but at least once or twice a year!<BR/><BR/>Gotta cut this short and go torture my class with a midterm, but wanted to pop in and say 'ello!Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-45945493427779804642008-03-06T08:26:00.000-06:002008-03-06T08:26:00.000-06:00Cupcake,You're a Jane fan?

This is, of course, a truth universally acknowledged, along with the dumb blonde thing. :)<BR/><BR/>We are, naturally, warming up rapidly. Cold fronts don't last long!<BR/><BR/>CJ,<BR/><BR/>LOL! I didn't know you had moose and bears! I forget you're in the UP, though. We saw lots of cute bunnies in Ann Arbor (and had one squirrel that wanted to move in with us). <BR/><BR/>Actually, I would love to have a house that I felt comfortable inviting people into. This house isn't really what you could call "suitable for entertaining". It's just too small. I've always wanted an old home with hidden passages. Wouldn't that be fun? Maybe not here, though. You never know what kind of creepy crawlies you'd run into in a hidden passage in the Deep South. <I>shiver</I><BR/><BR/>Thanks for the vote!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-2771152913123985532008-03-06T08:17:00.000-06:002008-03-06T08:17:00.000-06:00Bybee,That's the one!

But, mine are not forbidding; in fact, usually they're light-drenched and nicely furnished. The kitchens are always, always U-shaped, like the kitchen I grew up with (I have a galley kitchen, which I hate). And, nobody else knows about the empty wing until I tell them. I'm waiting for my mystery wing to appear. :)<BR/><BR/>Donna,<BR/><BR/>That's so funny! You and Bybee need to get together to figure out why your mystery-house dreams are spooky! Mine are more along the lines of wishful thinking (but still nightmares, if only because I wake up knowing they're impossible). I do the lucid dreaming thing, sometimes -- not often, but every now and then I'll get to a point that I realize a dream has become too frightening and wake myself up. Humans are so funny. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-23436503499977279972008-03-06T06:53:00.000-06:002008-03-06T06:53:00.000-06:00Well, let's see...We've had moose sitings within o...Well, let's see...<BR/><BR/>We've had moose sitings within our city limits, I have a bear story of my own (well, my sister's but I was part of it), and we may be seeing a stink about political positions in the not too distant future... <BR/><BR/>But whaling stories?

I'll take a room with a view, or, at the very least, a hidden passage behind the bookcase.<BR/><BR/>And Sunshine got my vote.<BR/><BR/>cjhCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798965643027904154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-80135302952331902502008-03-06T05:20:00.000-06:002008-03-06T05:20:00.000-06:00Persuasion!

With the suddenly revealed (and strangely remembered) hallways and stairways that go to seemingy new places in my house, but then you remember that they were there before, and you've just forgotten. My ever-expanding house had some deep dark really frightening passages that I had to get down on hands and knees and crawl through. Now I try to wake myself up before I get to that part. :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-88306041222244749332008-03-06T00:35:00.000-06:002008-03-06T00:35:00.000-06:00I was having that dream repeatedly a few years ago...I was having that dream repeatedly a few years ago! In mine, I'd discovered a whole new wing of my house after years of living there, and it was enormous and felt a little forbidding.
