Illinois. It was a small amount of snow and looks like more won’t be coming for the next couple weeks. Most of the leaves disappeared in the last couple weeks. Luckily the roads are still fine today, just stuck to grass. Son was none to happy to clear off the car this morning though. He was also not happy about not driving to school this morning (has his permit and dad lets him drive to school in the mornings) but no way we were risking that with his constant last minute braking. Will for sure let him get cold weather driving experience but husband wasn’t dealing with it while trying to get to work on time this morning.
Snowing right now in Michigan. Barely getting above freezing in the next week, and more snow coming up soon!
@Lucia – congrats to you and Banjo! 2 years is awesome 🙂
@JD I hope things get better for you. I looked outside this morning and saw a swimming pool, fall leaves and snow all in one yard. That’s pretty much peak Missouri for you.Tomorrow I’m taking MofV to his first college football game and it’s going to be FREEZING. It’s also an 11 am game so all suggestions of what booze to throw in my coffee are welcomed. (I’m a little burned out on Baileys.)
Also, totally off topic, but excellent Doc appointment yesterday – I found out that my Mirena, which was due to be replaced in March 2019, now has 2 more years of efficacy! So I don’t have to replace it in 4 months. I’m totally comfortable with the studies that showed in five years it drops from 99.8% to 99.7%. If a baby is made in that .03 percent, then it’s just meant to be!
Happy Friday everyone!
@Veirtek33 I have a mierna also! Did you have any change in your period? After about 6 months I went for almost a year without. Then 45 days a couple times. Now I”m at 70 days. Think you’ll be replacing? I’m trying to decide if I want to, I’ve only had it 3 years in January.
I’m LOVING the snow this morning. I moved back to IL from FL in July and I have been eagerly waiting for snow. I got up extra early for my morning walk so I could spend more time in the snow. I was the weirdo walking around sticking my tongue out to catch snowflakes. I’m obnoxiously happy today.
I say go for the screwdrivers haha, but that will probably not keep you warm and make you too drunk. One of my favorite AM drinks though. I mean, it has OJ so it’s totally ok to have it before noon. Buy those hand warming packets you keep in your pockets!
Ohhh that sounds like an idea. I need butt ones. My buns always seem to get cold even if the rest of me is warm. Thank goodness for the invention of seat warmers.
You need a full-length down coat if you don’t have one. I can’t get through winter without mine.
You could put Hot Hands in your back pockets though.
Ah, Illinois, got it.
I have put everyone on notice that I’m returning to Florida Jan – Mar. I’ve started hating winter with a passion. I think I need to move to San Diego.
I do have one, I think i just have a cold butt, even when it’s warm out my buns are cold. hehe. I bought two new coats for this winter. Yesterday I was wearing leggings with my warm sweatpants over them. It was super attractive. Surely my husband was impressed. 🙂
When I spent a winter in Illinois I had to wear two hats, one with the little ear flaps over one of those running caps.
JD – if you’re coat is roomy around your middle, the cold goes up your legs. You might need to get a bigger butt.
