Also...

I got a new job this last week! I am now the Operating Room Manager for my hospital.


YIKES!!!

Wish me luck.

Seriously, I had to do this 3 different times because my computer is stupid and slow. For further elaborations, please contact me via email or a phone call or whatever. And please enjoy the show. There are about 300 pix on that slide show, so if you want to just skim through them, just click on the thing and you can look at the pix a little faster.

This has taken FOREVER

Mexican vacation update coming soon...

Stay tuned.

***WARNING!***

It's going to be a long one.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANTY!!!

{Have You Ever Noticed?}

...that I am really good at making promises on this here bloggy thing and suck at keeping them?

{Have You Ever Noticed?}... Monday

... how freaking COLD it is in Roosevelt in January? So, obviously, I'm mostly talking to all you poor suckers who actually live here with me, but the rest of you can keep reading if you feel so inclined. However, instead of the long terrible rant I would like to go into today, I am going to try and live up to my "New Year's Goal" of complaining less. Thus, I am trying to see the sub-zero temperature for something other than the disgusting, unnecessary evil it is.

I am finding the beauty {enjoyed more from the warmth and comfort of my toasty living room, of course, rather than outside} of the frost and here are some examples...

No, that's not snow on the trees. It's frost. My driveway is also covered in about 1/4 in of the stuff that keeps falling off the trees. We should probably shovel it, but 1/4 inch hardly seems worth it.

If you click on this one and make it bigger, you may actually be able to see a little more detail. The crystalling {don't think that's really a word, but you'll just have to deal with it} pattern is really pretty.

That's right. We still have Christmas lights up. Don't hate us 'cause we're awesome.

These next few were taken before I went to work this morning {I know. It's a very cruel joke that I actually had to work on a Monday, but don't worry. I'll get over it.}, that's why it's dark. But you can probably see the frost better with that contrast of the black.

Again, don't be jealous because we still have our lights up and you don't.

The real reason is because it's too freaking cold to go out and take them down. So, we'll just play white trash and leave 'em up for a while longer.

There you have it. My pathetic attempt at not complaining. How'd I do?

Is it this cold where you live???
