A snowball's chance in Florida (aka, you know)



There's supposed to be a chance of snow flurries tonight. Here. In. Florida. You know, every time I decide I hate Florida enough to move, the cold hits us (for two days) and reminds me why I can't live anywhere else. I hate the cold. But on and off for weeks - weeks! - it's been cold. Bah! Why can't it be a beautiful 68-73 degrees year round? I'd deal with the snowbirds and the tourists and the beach bums and everything else to have the beautiful weather. And to be fair, in between cold snaps, it was beautiful. And I'd miss my thunderstorms if it was beautiful every day. I love thunderstorms.

The cold snaps brought on the head colds. Saturday I started sneezing, which I thought was due to the high pollen count but it turns out I caught a bad head cold and was down for the count through Monday. I'm not so good at resting when I should, so while I was home sick on Monday I cleaned the library/den/office so you can actually see the floor and couch again. If I could only get around to reorganizing my books I'd be a happier with the room.

I finally got myself back to Zumba last night -- super fun, but on the eve of being so sick I couldn't do every thing I wanted to do, but it was nice to get back to the gym. Today was my personal training session, and she worked me out a little harder than I expected so I'm still sore. That's a good thing, right?

PS - Saturday Spencer started standing on his own! Daycare said that he took steps, but I don't really think that he did (unless he fell forward) but he's so excited that he can stand, he just stands and claps! Ha!

Yay for Spencer! I guess it won't be long before he's running away from you at the store. ;)

Yeah, I feel almost like you do about the cold, but about the heat. I cannot stand weather in the 90s and above. I get sick when it's too hot. I always wanted to move further North, but Matt hates the cold. And now that I'm a little older I think I'm starting to dislike it too. This winter hasn't been fun anyway.

If it could be 60-70 all year long I'd love it. I'd miss the leaves changing, but I can visit somewhere for that, right?

you want that weather, you're on the wrong coast. San Diego has what you want, with a price tag to match (everyone wants that weather!)

I don't mind the cold, don't like it, but don't mind it. Hate the humid heat though, so FLA is out for me!
