Winter is here WAY too soon!


Yesterday in Colorado Springs was pretty cold. Well, pretty damn cold. My car, which I am unable to park in the garage because we have too much shtuff, was parked in the driveway and covered with snow. I had to (gulp!) scrape my windows. I was not happy about this. Now today the ground is covered with ice. Walking to Starbucks this morning looked reminiscent of a dance step I once used to scale the stairs at Laurelwood (ok, I was tripping and trying not to fall.) This reminds me that on my list of stuff to do before I die, I plan to recreate the Jennifer Grey dance practice down the steps to the LAA Adm. So, charge your video camera's. I'm sure this footage will end up on youtube and POSITIVE it will make the AFV semi-finals. And hoping no one ends up in the emergency room.

Oh yeah. Cold. Colorado Springs. So, we've cranked up the heat and we're waiting for a landscape-y guy to come blow out our sprinkler system (which sounds way dirtier than I hope it really is.) We're prepared to bundle and hibernate. Course, it's Colorado and it will probably be in the 70's in a couple weeks.

I hate the weather here in Colorado. We have two seasons and they are usually both in the same day. But as long as the Chatty-boys live in Colorado, well, here I'll be. I do like driving west toward the base of Pikes Peak. That's a pretty great view. When you can see it. We're totally overcast right now, but I must admit that while we only have two seasons, we have sunny skies nearly year round.

'Scuse me now. I must go iron my white high-waters and dust off my Keds. I have some dance steps to practice. Spotter anyone??

Can't wait for the dance. :)

Not sweetenin' the pot talking about that crappy weather! It'll change by the first part of November, right?
