Baby, It’s Cold Outside
13. That was the number on the thermometer this morning. I know people up in New England would love to have those kinds of temperatures right now, but to me, that’s the type of cold that’s “bone-chilling”, as the kids like to say. With the windchill, it feels like -5. -5! Who actually knows what…

Random Musings
If you’re going to New York to exchange gifts and celebrate Christmas with your family, you might want to bring the gifts with you. 🙁 Apparently, it’s “okay” to have awards and parties spewing hatred and making comparisons to genocidal dictators as long as the person you’re talking about is named George W. Bush. :whocares:…

Snowy Nativity Nutcracker
Ah, what a relaxing weekend. We slept ALOT Saturday and Sunday. Didn’t really plan on it; it just sort of happened. We had caught up on some errands already so we didn’t have a whole lot to do outside of the house. On Friday evening, we tested our acting skills by playing Mary and Joseph…

Snow Day Pics
Ok, I finally posted the pics from the snowstorm we had last week. Six inches of snow total at our house, though there were varying amounts all over our area. I did have to shovel on Friday morning in order to get our cars out, and we had to shovel our porch and sidewalk a…

Winter Came Early
Well, almost a year to the day after the first snow storm of our hellacious winter last year, we have our first snow storm of this year…and it’s not even really winter yet. We woke up this morning to about four inches of snow covering the ground and our cars. I went out to shovel…

Autumnal Equinox
It’s the first day of fall! I’m starting to think this is my favorite season. I love the changing colors of the leaves as they turn nice shades of Hokie maroon and orange, and there’s plenty of football to watch while enjoying the crisp autumn nights. It also means this year is flying by. What’s…

Aftermath
So everyone is dealing with the aftermath of Isabel. Alot of people are still without power, but luckily we only lost it for about ten seconds on Thursday night. Thank goodness the Hokie game wasn’t interrupted (but it was for alot of other people). My parents both lost it during the day on Thursday, but…

Hurricanes and Hokies
So we’re riding out the hurricane right now. Lots of wind and rain can be heard outside, and even we heard the distinct sound of cracking wood which means a tree has lost it’s life. I’m also watching the Hokies play Texas A&M right now, and A&M seems to be getting all the breaks. But…

Hurricane!
So there’s a hurricane coming. Isabel. That’s a good-sounding hurricane name. There was a hurricane last week or so called Henri. That doesn’t sound like a life-threatening storm at all…more like a chef at a snooty restaurant who has a big nose and loves to shout, “Sacre bleu!”. I don’t think any hurricanes should have…

Africa Hot
Is everyone happy now? Everyone complained about all the rain we got and now it’s as if the earth is turning into the sun. Walking outside is akin to just stepping out of the shower. It is so hot and humid outside, it makes me miserable. Of course, Monica loves it. I maintain it’s from…
