Good Morning Campers!
I am happily sitting here with my cup of coffee..the heater in the Florida room is on..it is chilly here for us...about 35 degrees this morning...supposed to get even colder in the next few days..I am fine with that..we don't get much chance to wear "clothes" here..it's nice to dig out the jeans and sweaters and boots for the week or two a year we need them... ;-)
So my week so far?? pretty good..had the commute from hell yesterday..it was raining and that caused a bunch of accidents all over town which led to an 8 mile back up on the dreaded bridge I have to cross to get to work...took me well over an hour to go 13 miles...and guess who drank two cups of coffee before she left?? yep me! We were pretty busy all day yesterday and the day flew by..came home and had a grilled cheese and soup for dinner and watched American Idol...they held auditions here in Jacksonville this season..not sure what night those will air but you will get to see a little bit of my town..other than that not much going on in my neck of the woods...we are all excited for hubby's siblings flying in next week to surprise his dad for his 77th birthday..they have not all been together since their Mum died in 1997 so it's long overdue and hopefully will be a lot of fun...I say hopefully because there is a little tension between his sister and his oldest brother but hopefully they can act their age and not their shoe size for once!!
I hope everyone is having a good week...this is a funny time of year...the holidays are over..the weather is crappy and there doesn't seem to be a whole heck of a lot to look forward to really... I actually like this time of year...I am quite the homebody anyway and am quite happy snuggled up with a good book or a good movie...after the hustle and bustle of the holidays a little down time never hurt anyone...;-)
Till next time...

I hope everyone behaves at the birthday get together. I know their dad will be soooo happy to have everyone together.
I'm glad you are enjoying the week off and that you don't mind a little cold. It's great that everyone will get to be with their Dad for his birthday. I hope too that they remember the reason for the visit and make it a great one for their Dad. Enjoy your
Wednesday and keep warm.

Cold? Put a minus sign in front of that 35 and that's what it feels like in the wind here, this morning!
Hope the birthday celebration goes smoothly-I like that saying-act their age not their shoe size....
:) Leigh
I do hope that they can all get along. I know my mother say's that about my sister and I.
I am so glad that your fil has made it to another birthday!

Hi Lyn, It must be awful for you living in such a hot and sunny climate...lol! Seriously though, it must be nice to wear the Winter clothes. Why is it in bad weather some drivers never learn that they should drive more slowly...sigh.
Love and ((Hugs))

Hi dear :) Great to see another entry. I can imagine it prob is cooler where your at then where i am. I am closer by the water so it isnt as chilly. But still cool which i love. I was tired fo the warm temps at freakin Jan, lol and rain blah. This is great :) I love wearing winter clothes more then summer. So its nice to break them out huh? Im glad your having a good week so far, bummer you had to deal with crappy traffic. But glad the day went by quickly for u. You got to relax and watch AI. I watched it too. I love the auditions shows there hilarious, lol. I didnt know they filmed in Jax. Cool I will have to make sure to watch it that night. I hope every1 gets along when they come down to visit for ur fils bday. Im sure it will go fine. I agree with you downtime is not a bad thing esp after the busyness after the holidays. ttys hun, xo, Leslie

If our living room temp gets as high as 25 degrees people start stripping off! In fact, they do if the OUTSIDE temp gets to 25, as it occasionally does in a good summer. We're having a heatwave at the moment as it's been 5 above today! Definitely good book weather.
Hope your family get-together goes well
love, Angie, xx
Yeah, it's a weird time of year.. It's a good time to clean attics and basements.. :) Stay warm! Julie
Yeah I heard it'll get down to the thirties in the south. I can remember my brother living in Alabama and my nephew is the only kid who have a sled and the kids in their neighborhood were having a grand time. Now they're back here in NY. So it is going to be cold alright. 0 degrees here tonight and tomorrow. Stay warm and take care.Oh by the way have a good time at the family birthday gathering. Nancy
Trust me, I'm loving wearing the warm woolies here in the mountains! I didn't get to spend enough time in those comfy clothes last year.
Enjoy your time off! You should really go see my friend Whitney about some insurance!
*hugs*

I'm so grateful I don't have a regular commute anymore! I remember many times getting stuck in horrid traffic and having a full bladder.
Hope the party goes well and all act their ages.
Have a great week enjoy the down time.
Monica
Its roles reversed here. We get out the summer clothes for one or two weeks a year!
Hope the sun shines soon for you.

Saying a little prayer that everyone will be able to lay aside their differences for this occasion!! I wish we were a bit warmer here! It's been very cold this winter!
Fun I'm like you and hope everyone is nice for the party. You enjoy yourself and keep warm.
Take care, Chrissie
It was 9 degrees this morning at 10am here in Kentucky..the high today is 14 and the low tonight is 4...it is sooo cold! Thank goodness I took a couple vacation days and didn't have to get out in it...
I hope all goes well for your FIL's surprise Bday with all the siblings together...hope you get lots of pics...
I am sooo glad AI is back on...so far my favorite is the young guy who's wife passed away 4 weeks before auditions...he has a wonderful voice...there are several good ones this year...it seems..
Hugs

Ah, but you have spring to look forward to. And the fact that your winter is short! Enjoy wearing jeans and sweaters!
winter for me is a pair of long johns the sweat pants then snow pants. on top a long sleeve shirt, long john top, sweat shirt with hood and a winter coat. whew! it's -27 here!
I love the look of your blog! It's so cheerful! I hope your husband's family gathering is great. His Dad will be thrilled to have all his kids together.
Wish we were having winter weather here in so. Calif. It's like summer.
Hugs, Kathy
Yes, in Tennessee it's 17 right now at Noon. You can see your breath in my closed off sunroom. lol
Have a good day.
Tonight with the windchill it's a
-20. Paul's been taking Pickles out because it's hard enough for me to breathe without that. Poor Pickles wants to romp but it's too cold for her.
I hope the surprise party goes off without a hitch.
I wouldn't mind being inside a few days..sigh...with the freezing temps, I'm going stir-crazy right along with Pickles. (Hugs)Indigo
I am like you, I agree this is a crappy time of the year. I am so ready for spring to roll around. Hope you are enjoying your 'warm clothes'.
Have a great week.
