hot chocolate and electric blankets

I'm trying hard to remember what summer is like today. I realize that it's winter, but we don't see much snow here in Missouri. Not so the case these days. It's been a cold and icy, and cold some more, and lots of people without power and it's really cold. Gertie is having a blast with her first frozen go-round. I get a big kick watching her back feet slide one way and her front feet slide the other way. What kind of mean human am I that I laugh at my dog having a hard time just to take a pee? One that has been locked in the house for a while. You can not walk out of my house without falling on your butt! Ah, this is where the hot cocoa and blankets come in handy. But being laszy only lasts for a while. Crappy weather has served as a good time to get packed for a move, so there's a silver lining under the ice and snow :)

Glad to be going home to Texas soon. I know it's a little cold there too, but the 100 degree summers will make up for it!
