1) My six-monthly nail polish obsession has surfaced: my nails are suddenly dark pink. This will last about a week, and then I'll go back to normal until sometime in March ( Read more... )

Warm weather! Finally!

*is wearing a summery skirt*
*is thrilled about the skirt*
*is also thrilled about the nice weather in general*

It's supposed to reach 28 degrees (82F) today, for the first time in a long time.

Tomorrow it's going to be cold again... but still! Warmth and sunshine! Briefly! Hurrah!

1) That storm is still going. We're now onto Thunder Round 3, still accompanied by huge amounts of rain. No more hail, though.

Getting snow in the streets isn't going to happen - ever - so if we want to see snow, we have to drive three hours to some very small mountains with even smaller amounts of snow at the top - if it's cold enough ( Read more... )
