Tsk tsk tsk...

70 degrees yesterday!  70!  And today?  Lower 40s, it was actually flurrying when I left my house this morning.  Disgusting. 

I have tons to do today.  Fake baking during lunch, probably the closest thing to actual sunshine that I will see this week.  Visit my parents after work, of course I forgot the pictures I had developed for them so I have to run home first and grab them.  I have to bite my tongue and push my jealousy deep deep down back inside while I admire her new car that will be delivered to her today.  I have clothing to sort through that has been sitting in my old room for over 2 years, the fact that I probably wont even be able to button half of the items isn't going to cheer me up much.  8 drawers of crap to clear out.  Not to mention a slam packed closet.  Who needs so many clothes?  I guess I thought I did at some point.  Sigh, Oh but it must be done I suppose, I've only been procrastinating for two years ya know. 

My ab-roller WILL be coming back home with me, faithful little purple miracle worker.  Yes, one day, I will be back in those non-fastening jeans and mini skirts with the help of my purple magic machine and salads.  Oh the never ending salads and cottage cheese.  You know your diet is succeeding when you don't even notice the taste of your meals anymore.  But it is what it is, and it IS my fault so I shall hop back on the no-gain-train again.

All aboard!

There then... back again, Months later.

Nothing major missed.  Just the regular 9+ hour work days, we did manage a quick escape to the bay a few weeks ago, which was absolutely wonderful by the way.  My mom is new car hunting, I decided to tag along last weekend to keep her company.  Awful awful awful decision on my part. 

This car is too big, this one is too small, this one has an ugly dash in it, I hate that color, I don't like red, the windshield is too small, I don't want green, this one looks like an Easter egg, that one looks like a bubble..... 

Needless to say, we didn't find one up to her standards.  Not...going...again.  Ever. 

We had beautiful weather this past Monday, if you didn't mind the 65 mph winds of course.  I couldn't help myself, seeing as it was also Valentines Day and the sun was shining and for a few brief seconds when the wind wasn't howling, it was actually close to 70 degrees outside.  I rushed to Wal*Hell and purchased a ginormous bag of charcoal, rib eyes, shrimp, and a mushy VDay card.  Arriving at home I was a little wary about lighting the grill since there seemed to be a wildfire on every back road and field in a 100 mile radius.  Before I could even scout out a wind safe place to move the grill I heard it being slammed across the back deck by the wind.  Scratch that... fire up the frying pan.  Heading outside to move the grill and arrange my glass patio table so that it wouldn't be shattered to itty bitty pieces in my yard I heard another crash.  What was it?  Oh... just my glass patio table shattering into itty bitty pieces in the yard.  Nice.  Thanks Mother Nature. 

It is supposed to be in the mid to upper 60's today with "breezes" according the the "weather man."  I have a pound of burger thawing on my kitchen counter at home.  I WILL try again, and this time Miss Nature... I will win, bitch.
