Brrrrr Chilly
It was bone chilling cold again today…currently it is 21°F. The winds today only added to the cold ~ they were quite strong. I don’t think it got above freezing today. I know a lot of places are colder, but our average for this time of year is 51°F…..and I’m cold! 😐

First Snow
We had our first snow today…not so much, maybe an inch or two. It didn’t stick on the roadways ~ which is perfectly fine with me ~ but it did decorate the bushes and trees. It was dark when I got home this evening so I wasn’t able to get a photograph of the dainty little flakes ~ instead I’m sharing my snow family with you.

Outside My Window ~ 12.12.10
Outside My Window…is a dark and rainy night. Sounds like the beginning to a horror story I know…but it is what it is. The temperature at 7:00 this evening is about 53°F but we are expected to drop down to around 31°F tonight. The high tomorrow won’t be much over tonight’s low and the rest of the week staying quite cold. The temperatures were quite pleasant for the most part this weekend but we have received quite a bit of rain. How about some of the snow totals so far this year though! Yikes ~ I’m quite happy I don’t live in an area that suffers lake effect snow. Those folks…

Breakfast Burrito
A quick and easy meal for breakfast tomorrow….you will need eggs, your favorite breakfast meat, cheese, taco sauce or salsa and flour tortillas. Begin by scrambling some eggs. Add a bit of cooked, chopped bacon ~ sausage ~ or your breakfast meat of choice when the eggs are close to done. Heat up enough burritos for your meal by placing the flour tortilla in a damp paper towel and place in microwave for about 20 seconds…just enough to warm them. Turn the corners of the paper towel inward and roll from the bottom up. Once the tortillas are heated, place a spoonful of your mixture in the center of a flour…

Imagine….
….if December 8, 1980 had been just another night for him. I hope the peace he sought here on earth followed him wherever he may be.

Better But Cold!
I’m feeling better each day….still very croaky and my throat is a little rough… And a cough that won’t go away…. my supervisor mentioned it sounded like bronchitis today. Jeez….I hope not. We are downright frosty here lately….no snow but COLD! The sparkly texture on the above image is compliments of Isabelle LaFrance.

Remembering The USS Arizona
Just a little over 31 one years ago, I bid farewell to my then boyfriend in Denver and joined my step mother on a trip of a lifetime. We were going to Hawaii together and I was out of my mind excited! The flight was long…I seriously was ready to get off the plane about halfway there. 🙂 It was wonderful…and today I remembered that trip. I remember….. the heat and humidity compared to the 20 plus inches of snow I had left in Denver after a freak Thanksgiving blizzard which almost caused me to miss my flight for the first part of my trip to my parents… how lush the…

Outside My Window ~ 12.5.10
Outside My Window…at 6:45 this evening is 36°F, feels like 30°F. Our forecast low for tonight is 27°F……brrrr. It has been rather chilly these past few days. It snowed last night ~ not so much, only about 1/4 of an inch…but snow all the same. Unfortunately I have been under the weather the past few days so I didn’t get out early this morning to capture an image of the snow before it all melted. It was a beautiful day today albeit a chilly and windy one. It will continue to be cold throughout the next week…guess winter is here to stay. I am thinking…that I’m way over feeling bad and want…
