~ It's Still Winter! ~




by Tina~in_ut

As I write this, I'm shivering in my chair. I've just turned up the thermostat....again!!! I can't get warm. The silly thing is, we've had a pretty mild winter as winters go. Most of the time it snows at night. My commute hasn't been bad. I've only had to worry about my son driving in the snow a couple of times. It's nothing like last winter....but I'm so over it and ready for warmer weather. The other morning, no sooner did I arrive at work, and it started snowing. I had no idea it was going to. All I had on was a hoodie. Well.....I had my clothes on AND a hoodie. No jacket. Luckily, I had 10 hours to pray that it stopped snowing......and it did. Funny thing is, when I hear about the 80 and 90 degree weather in other parts of the country, I feel sorry for those people who live there because they don't get to experience the coolness that is snow! Yet, I'd give anything to be laying on a beach in Hawaii right about now! Are we ever really happy with what we have?

Bebbilane said...

"be" = "beat". sheesh.

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Bebbi first again! Congrats!

Tina it is frozen here this morning again. Thank goodness no snow! You are right we are never happy with what we have.

The commercial was a hoot!

I will be on the run today meetings for the food bank. Will check in as I can.

Tina~in_ut said...

hmmmmm......i smell insider trading!!!! someone.....who shall be nameless.....is privy to info...like oh.....travel time!!! I knew I shouldn't have told you! :)~

congrats on first bebbi~

good morning Lynn~

Zona said...

Good Morning!

TINA: Funny commercial!! I can't really relate to it..though I kinda wish I could. We haven't had to turn the heat on here since you and Dianne left. I would have loved to have a colder winter..it helps offset the summer. Oh geez..the heat..it's only 2 months away!

Loved feeling cold with you today TINA...thanks for the fun, chilly blog!!

Zona said...

BEBBI: Congrats on FIRST!!

Good Morning LYNND..wanna trade weather? ;)

Have a wonderful day everyone..no matter what the weather may be!

Night!!

Zona said...

Ok..I'm tired...I should have written 'I would have loved to have had a colder winter...' sheesh..

goldie said...

Congrats on 1st thru 6th Bebbi!
Good Morning Hooters!

Hi Lynn and Zona!

Good morning tina~. Your question is interesting. I think the 'grass is always greener' is something we all struggle with.

Cold here, but warming to the 40's this weekend. The sun is shining so no complaints.

night.owls.sb said...

Bebbi,
You did it.. Congrats!

Tina,
Love this commercial, so funny, and I so can understand, cold, snowy, blistery days.. HA! but next week is spring, can't wait..

Morning..
Tina, Bebbi, LynnD, Zona, Goldie

bonachichi said...

Good morning, Hooters! Loved the commercial, Tina. Digging a car out from the snow (is that what it's called?) is something that's so totally out of my realm. I bow to all of you who take it in stride!

night.owls.sb said...

When my head hit the pillow after Zona wished me a good nite, I went right out..

I am dragging a bit this AM, and I was late for work. But all is good..

night.owls.sb said...

Morning Bonacci, you flew in after me.. thxs.. ;O)

scirish said...

Heheheh! Loved the commercial Tina! I too am sick of snow. It was 60 on Sunday and snowed Mon and Tues. Those little Spring teasers are just plain cruel!

My SO and I plan on retiring to Southern CA and I have wondered if we will miss the snow. I'm guessing probably at Christmas, but I don't think he will miss shoveling.

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci,
I have dug my car out of the snow, so many times, I can never count, and it is never fun. But I do enjoy the seasons, so I guess I have to put up with the snow...

night.owls.sb said...

Ok, off to start my day..

Have a good day!

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Tina,
Remember something about me. There is always a method to my madness..

I can be fun tho!

:)

bonachichi said...

Carol, I always hear about seasons and how we in SoCal don't have them. We do. We have summer of course, autumn is fire season, winter (in good years) is neener neener season and spring is "almost summer".

When I was in Italy in January, I tried to enjoy the snow. Once. I went sledding and hit a tree. SNOW IS DANGEROUS!! We need to require permits for it. I would never pass the test.

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Bebbi - Congrats on being first and also for all the walking you are doing.

Good Morning Lynn, Tina, Zona-My Baby, Carol, Bonacci, Goldie and Scirish. Hope you are having a great day.

Zona - Loved talking to you yesterday.

VIG - Good Morning, where ever you are today.

Tina - Great blog. I so agree with it. We usually have lovely spring weather by this time of year but it is cold out there. We had snow last week and there are still signs of it everywhere.

I have a lunch date with 2 school friends so I will be back later.

Birdee said...

Good Morning Everyone!

Bebbi, Congrats on First

Iteach, I liked your facts about Lincoln yesterday.

Tina, I woke up to snow...again today too. It's only about 20 degree's here. I'm over it too.
The commercial was funny.

Waving at you all♥

I'm off to the shower....to get warm! ;o)

Lois Lane said...

Not when it comes to the weather, Tina. :D Funny commercial!!

This morning I was greeted with "feels like" -4 temperatures. The actual temp was 22. Why do they bother telling us both.

Why not just tell me, "It's cold enough outside this morning that your nips may just snap like two little snow peas. Wear your padded bra!" Now that would be an accurate weather assessment.

Congratulations Bebbi #1 Hooter!!!

Have a great day everyone!

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Lois and Birdee, "I'M a Hottie".

Tina - Just watched the video. Loved it.

Tinkatia said...

I think I stopped the blog three hours ago. Where is everyone? Perhaps playing in the snow? I am off for lunch. See you later.

kahonugrl said...

Well trust me the weather here has not been the greatest. Yes it is warmer here than most of the mainland, but it has been raining and raining and raining.....windy (gusting up to 50mph) and chilly for here (down to the high 56's at night) for about the last 4 weeks. Seriously if I wanted Seattle weather I would move there.

Oh and I miss the snow, just not the temp that goes with it.

Morning Hooters~

kahonugrl said...

Hey all:

Check out a blog that our Captains aboard our cruise vessel started to document some of the Humpback Whale sightings during our Whale Watch Season Charters. There are some amazing shots. Enjoy~

bonachichi said...

Kgrl, Love the whales. I remember being in Hawaii during March and feeling insulted that it wasn't hot. I love the rainshowers when it's warm; especially the downpours in Hilo.

We should all just flock to Cabo or Acapulco until the weather starts behaving.

bonachichi said...

Kgrl, is this what you do for work?

Mary/MI said...

Tina-not-a-ho-for-another-30-days.I love complainin' about the weather lol! It is embedded in my nature!
Seriously, no matter the weather I try to find something good in it everyday. As long as I am breathing... it IS a good day :)

Have a great day everyone!

MEK, :)

Bebbilane said...

Was that Mek, posting under Mary/MI? I am confused!

Tinkatia said...

Home from a lovely lunch. Now I am going to have a lovely nap. Then a walk in the sunshine. It's lovely out now, I think the cold weather is leaving us.

Mary/MI said...

Bebbi, lol I was sending MEK a smiley

Mary/MI said...

Hi Tinka, so good to see you are doing better. Enjoy you walk.

Tina~in_ut said...

kahonugrl said...

bebbi....just kinda slipped in there.

bonacci: My company is Tourism based. I am a Purchasing Mgr.

Bebbilane said...

kgirl: Nice job and congrats on the 69~!

kahonugrl said...

bebbi:

I broke down and got a pedomoeter...I have 1000 steps in and that's just in a couple of hours getting up from my desk and checking on things....we will see if I can give your counts a run for their money.

night.owls.sb said...

I got the Traveling Necklace in the mail today, so the NJ adventure begins for the necklace..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Turtle,
You just wiggled your way right in there, and they say Turtle's are slow.. HA !!!!!

Bebbilane said...

That would be awesome kgirl! I have 11,520 steps so far today.

Bebbilane said...

That is so cool, Carol! And so the adventure begins! How fun!

Bebbilane said...

It might work out that I get it when I got to Thunder Over Louisville. That would be SUPER!

Bebbilane said...

"go to" not "got to".

kahonugrl said...

Carol:

I joined the list late, I think I get it last. I think Fat Stanley and I will alternate wearing it out and about the island~

Bebbilane said...

kgirl, my son did Flat Stanley when he was in elementary school.

Bebbilane said...

or is Fat Stanley a person? Confused again..! ;)

kahonugrl said...

Bebbi:

Fat Stanley is a red bear that I got from Goldie when I met her and Jodi during my trip back to Chicago in December. He has had his picture taken in some fun and not so fun places since arriving back with me in Honolulu. His picture folder is on my myspace page for your viewing pleasure...lol

Sandie said...

Congrats on first again, Bebbi!

Tina, we've had a colder than usual winter here. It's been warm, cool, warm, cool. Our buds are blossoming though and it looks so pretty outside!

And Tina, I started reading The Necklace--it's so good! All the necklace people should read it!

Carol, yea! You got the necklace! Have fun with it. I didn't get to do anything with it because I was in such a hurry to get it out and on its way!

Tinka, so good to see you here today.

JoeyfromSC said...

Tina it has gotten a little chilly again here! I loved the spring days we were having...I hope they come back soon! lol

Congrats on 1st Bebbi! LMAO@being robbed of 69 by Kgirl!

Thanks y'all for the sweet comments on my new default pic on myspace!! It's rare that I take a pic I kinda like lol

I thought y'all meant fLat Stanley too!! not FAT lol

I missed the blog about the necklace..I didn't realize y'all really were doing the traveling necklace!! that's cool!!

Almost time for Ugly Betty.....ttyl!

Bebbilane said...

All: Thanks!

Joey: You mean you didn't get your name on the list for the traveling necklace? OMG< ! We need a Joey segment too! ;)

JoeyfromSC said...

No Bebbi! I'm always missing out on something by not keeping up around here lol

It's my own fault! I was wondering if Whabbear and I were eligible or was it female owls only haha

JoeyfromSC said...

90!!

bonachichi said...

I love what you all are doing with the necklace. Are you going to keep a travel diary for it? Take pics of it on all its adventures? And couldn't Whab be on the list? It seems right that the necklace be able to have a stop w/all the core owls. He doesn't have to wear it, although I'd love to see a pic of him in a bikini top, the necklace, ear bobs and maybe some llipstick.

Jodi said...

TINA - Luv the commercial!!! I have certainly had my fill of winter.....bring on spring!!!

JOEY!!! I think it was suggested that WHABBY dress in drag when he wears it....ijs!!! lol!!

TURTLE - Congrats on your steps!! Oh, and congrats on 69!!Luv the one that you sent me. :O~

CAROL - Did you get your wake up call this morning?!!?

Tinkatia said...

Hi Jodi - Did you have a nice birthday?

Tinkatia said...

Hi Zona - How about a call tomorrow.

Tinkatia said...

Good Night everyone. God bless.

Night Tinka!
Joey & Whabbear you must be added to the list,drag or no drag. A speedo shot would be good. You could dangle it around your,,,,neck, yah that's it, your neck lol!

Tina~in_ut said...

note to self.....get necklace before whabby and joey~ ijs~ :)~

Tina~in_ut said...

sandie~ the best part of the book is the beginning....well...wait....no...it's all good~ :D

Dianne/Denver said...

Hi Everyone...I am hanging out at my daughters this afternoon and tonight. I needed a grandchild fix. The girls have now decided to come over tomorrow after school and spend the night and Saturday with me. You can guess I am smiling!

JODI: Don't forget to have that Birthday beer on me..cheers!

TINA; Eunice looks beautiful. I thought my owl with the green eyes looked good but nothing like your friend.

I can't wait to get the necklace in the line-up. CAROL, I can't wait to see your chest (kidding). Are you allowed to do that during lent or is that porn?

MEK: Hope you are better. You too JUST/LIN AND LYNND and anyone else that isn't feeling well.

MO; I am thinking about you and sending good thoughts and vibs to you and the "boss"!

TINK: You are sure busy all the time. You must have quite a social life! :)

TINA: As I have mentioned before the onset of summer is not my favorite time of year. We did finally get some of your snow yesterday and then the sun came out and the roads were dry. It was just enough to get my car dirty.

Dianne/Denver said...

TINA: Note to all of us...get necklace before BEAR AND JOEY!

Sandie said...

Tina, note to Joey and Whabby: Instead of sending it back to me, just keep it!

Sandie said...

Joey, you are welcome to join the list--just let me know if you want to!

Tina~in_ut said...

LMBO, Sandie~

East Bay J said...

Hey Hotters!

Checking in after a very long day, just wanted to say hi!

I agree that Joey and Whabby should be in on the necklace list!

I have to go read the blog, have not had any time today.

Congrats to Bebbi on 1st today!

See ya all tomorrow!

Just_Lin said...

Sandie Make sure I get the necklace before Joey and Whabby, too! LMAO!!!!! You'll never look at your necklace the same again!

Bebbi Congrats on #1!

Kgrl Congrats on slipping into that 69!

Tina I really enjoyed your blog today and the commercial was so funny! Fortunately, I don't have to deal with snow. Custard was thinking winter was over when they got some lovely spring-like weather, then suddenly, more snow! He was so disheartened!

Okay, this may be TMI, but my post nasal drip made me cough until 3:45 a.m. Once I finally fell asleep, I slept until 11:45! I couldn't believe it! I've just been schlepping around in sweats all day, feeling tired. : (

Just_Lin said...

EBJ LOL @ Hello Hotters! Thanks!

Dianne/Denver said...

JUST/LIN: Maybe you have a sinus infection and need to go to the doctor. I hate to hear you feeling so sick all week.

Ok, I think I have stayed here longer than the kids really thought I would and the grandkids have long ago gone to bed. Good night to all of you and I hope you get a decent sleep tonight JUST/LIN.

Just_Lin said...

Thanks, Dianne. I'm hoping for a more normal night's sleep tonight.

whabbear said...

Poor JustLin! :(

Joey: That "sister of the traveling pantsuits" has welcomed us to their ranks!

You DID see the necklace I was trying to push on Iteach, right? Right?

whabbear said...

Tina: It's been 72 and sunny every day this week in Palm Springs. Perfect for those of us who would have no objection to living in endless summer! :)

Tina~in_ut said...

last-ish~
