    skin, hot from 12 minute shower blast -> microfiber robe I stole from husband -> sheets -> down alternative comforter from IKEA, medium weight -> second down alternative comforter, full-strength -> space heater -> central heat.

    I'm finally warm. Yup. Had an end-of-fever internal temperature crash around 6 p.m. Not fun. Third shower of the day was the charm!
    If only my husband wasn't trapped in Florida... a bajillion people are being rerouted through IAH because it' not snowed or iced in, so the amount of seats available from JIA to IAH is... next to nil until Thursday. There is a slight chance on one of two seats late tomorrow night, but if senior employees were bumped from earlier flights, they'll likely take those two. *sigh* 16 degrees tonight. It'll be 72 on Friday. WHAT THE KITTEN, MOTHER NATURE?!
    But, at least if he makes it by the weekend we can go to Broussard's Hot Links and eat outside without freezing, woo hoo!
    I neeeeeeeeeds some of their ribs. Oh hawt damn, dem tings.
    Dey has no tawlets or bafrums, jest sum picknick tables owtsahd.
    But dem damn ribs is de best tings I's eaten since I's been heeyah.
    Yessum.

    I think this is what I get for acting before thinking.

    Nothing to see here, move along.

    I burned the roof of my mouth last night eating dinner.
    I also left my chap stick in the pocket of the warmup pants that I wore to boot camp last night and subsequently washed.
    And my watch battery stopped this morning.

    I have to somehow convince my puppy—a breed bred for the tropics, with a lightweight coat designed to act as a sunshade—that it's a good idea to go for a jaunt in -20 C weather with a wind chill around -33 C.

    I'm going to have to double-up on his coats, and load him up with cookies when we get back.

    I need to convince mine that -20 with 2' of snow and blowing winds is not a day at the beach. She's laying in a drift, creating her own, and flipping me the paw every time I call her to come in.

    Stanley usually loves going out and eating the ice and snow. Instead of wanting out 4-5x in a day he'll want out 10-15x if we oblige him. The first time he went out in this extreme cold he thought he would just saunter out and chew some ice. He immediately tried to back his way inside again. :p

    He's not horrible in this cold (still -7* or so this morning but supposed to warm all the way up to 7*!), but he definitely wants out less and for shorter times. I think it is mainly his paws that get cold.

    Loki was a little trooper. I put his fire hydrant turtleneck on underneath his "Sherlock" coat.

    He totally didn't want to play or investigate anything, despite normally enjoying snow.

    There were many transitions between wet and ice, since this area uses so much salt. I was worried an "instafreeze" might rip his little rubber booties off.

    With the size of his paws, I could probably just slip my gloves on his feet.

    Putting "Author" in front of your name on Twitter screams "I'm self-published!"

    It's kind of like putting "B.A." after your name on your business card.

    Not recommended.

    I make allowances for certain master's designations. I mean, if I spent over $100,000 on it, you'd be damn sure to see "MBA" after my name.

    I've haven't been so insulted in a long time.
    Don't disrespect me...you'll lose.
    They've all lost.

    Friggin' obnoxious snide people who think they can get away with it because they're in a position of authority.
    Thank god I live in an area with options...Next.

    Give 150% until the last minute, when I'm set...then bam.
    I don't have to do anything...just step out of the way...they do it to themselves...and I'm not there to clean it up.
    Been there, done that.
    Actually, I've made quite a bit after the fact...from their own stupidity and lack of foresight.

    Here's a lesson folks...treat your players well.
    Because you'll never know when you won't have them again.

    You can. It's a big yard with lot's of drifts. The drift with the brown nose hanging out of it is occupied.

    I'm gonna be out at midnight with Sorels and a bathrobe dragging her ass in.
