It got up to 13 degrees today. Woo hoo! It still dips below zero overnight. On the news tonight they said that we've had 7 straight days with sub-zero temps, which is a record for any February in this area. The scary part about that is that it isn't a record for all time, otherwise they wouldn't have specified just February.
In fact, all the schools (not colleges) in the area were closed on Monday because it was so cold that it was too dangerous to let kids walk to school or wait for the bus. And, on Tuesday most school districts were delayed for 2 hours for the same reason. Of course, I still had work. But, it was quiet cuz nobody wanted to leave their rooms or offices because it was so freakin' cold.
So, it's been a couple of weeks since I've thought about writing any updates. Not much has been going on that I think would seem exciting to others. :) Mark's working full-time....finally. He's working contract security for a shipyard up in Sturgeon Bay. It's about an hour commute each way, but they'll start having openings at different sites soon. Although, he likes what he's doing up there. It's considered a Homeland Security post, so they've gotta train him to do special stuff (I don't know what) and get some sort of response from Homeland Security about him working there. I guess that puts him on some sort of list they keep there. I would bet that I'm on the opposite kind of list somewhere in DC. :) W probably sees the emails I forward to others and knows that I was on John Kerry's email list and now on Barack Obama's email list. Plus, I get updates from the Human Rights Campaign and moveon.org. Clearly, I'm a communist.
Well, I wanted people to know that I'm not permanently embedded in a block of ice. I've gotta get to bed and remember to put a dollar under Maranda's pillow for her tooth tonight. Hope for warmer weather for us (I mean like 25 degrees....I don't want all the snow to go away). :)
