Jack Frost. I hate him. I cannot even begin to describe (in any appropriate language) my hatred for this weather. I will be out of PTO by Feb. if this keeps up. on more inch of snow and I might throw up. Right now, its just blowing around making huge piles everywhere...but still. Whats the point of all this?? I will quit with the weather because i know you all are feeling the same way. I get so stir crazy though when we cant get out.

January might be the hardest month of the year. Financially spent after the holidays, emotionally down from the weather, the unwinding of the holiday excitement, knowing spring, summer or any sign of green is too far off to even imagine....i just hate January. I get that its supposed to feel refreshing and like a new start and time to have goals etc. Which would be great if the weather would cooperate and i could open my windows but because it wont, I am just a grouch ball. Boo. I have been completely unable to stay awake past 8-8:30. Its ridiculous. So that is something i am adding to my resolutions...staying awake longer to get house work done.There just seems no point, its freezing in here, V and i are home alone, why not go to bed?!


On a good note, super proud of my Hawkeyes for the win at the Orange Bowl. I just wish i would have been able to go this year! next year. (i say that every year).

I might write more late but am feeling the organization bug so i better catch it while its still around...who knows when it will come back!
