Bad day on the stock exchange yesterday. Hopefully it will will rebound.

Have a headache today and I know it's weather related. It is going to be warm today and then cool down a little the next two days or so. Plus there is rain in the forecast.

It got a bit cooler over night and we even have a trace amount of snow. I guess Mother Nature enjoys keeping us on our toes.

Have been having a little trouble lately with my back and I figure its the way I've been sleeping. Don't know what I can do about it but might get a new pillow or two soon. Also have been having odd dreams lately too. I cant remember anything more then fleeting images.

Have some chores to do today and because Mom has tomorrow of, we will have a couple things to take care of then.

Had a dentists appointment today to get a couple cavities taken care of. Mom had a longer appointment to get a deep cleaning. Even though we had appointments and all, it was awhile before we each got in because there were a lot of people already in the waiting rooms. I like the dentists office and all, but they need a bigger waiting area, and one just for kids. My next appoint isn't until July and Amen to that. Too many of our weekends recently have been taken up with dentist visits.

Yesterday it rained a bit and I even heard thunder a couple times. The weather has been odd lately, in this month alone we have had very cold temperatures and then warm days where it rained. It even rained today. I think we got a little over a half of an inch of rain. I am not complaining too much because I know we need the moisture.

Before the hilarity with the dentist appointments, we took the dogs in to get their yearly shots. Nothing in the morning better than the smell of wet dog in a car. Okay, there are plenty of other wonderful things to smell. They weren't too bad about it and at least now that's done.

We got a bit of snow of Friday, enough that Mom stopped by the grocery store before coming home to pick up a few things just in case we couldn't get out until Sunday. We ended up getting out on Saturday anyway, but I am still glad that she did buy some food.

The past two days have been warm enough that the snow and ice we have gotten recently has pretty much melted away. It is supposed to continue with this spring like weather well into next week. But I wouldn't be surprised if in March we have some more cool weather and maybe even a little more winter. It's been done before, so we will see.

Mom is thinking of taking Monday off so we can get caught up on a few things we've been unable to due to weather and what not. Think it would be a good idea.

A friend of mine, a guy I have known since we were freshman in high school, came over and told me a sad story. He was in the process of leaving his wife and he was being peaceable about it too. When he got back to the U-Haul rental place, his wife was waiting for him. He got in her car and they talked and agreed to finish talking at home, so he got out of her car got into his own and followed her home. Once at home they talked and argued and he decided to leave. As he was leaving, he walked past her and she stabbed him in the back with a chefs knife. He managed to get it out, but before he could leave she came at him again, he did manage to finally leave and open the locked front door (which they never locked when they were home) and made his escape. A neighbor called 911 and he went to the hospital, where one of his lungs collapsed. He was in the hospital for several days and got out on his birthday. Of course his loony wife is saying it was self defense and even cut herself to try and prove it. Well he is looking to get a divorce from her and take care of a few things. In the coming months he will be doing a lot of things and hopes ( as do I) that his wife serves some jail time.

Tim Hardaway and Isiah Washington should just do the world a favor and flipping die. They could take Michael Richards with them. Washington and Hardaway don't like Gays and Richards doesn't like blacks, so it should be a comfortable ride to Hell for the three of the bastards. If you're going to be in the public eye, here's a piece of advice. Keep you flipping mouth shut on certain points and then the Hell storm wont touch you. I would rather people hate you when you are dead then have you listen to you make excuses and make apologies you don't mean when you're alive. Can you dig it? It's an easy thing to do. There are plenty of people who hate one thing or another and they manage to keep their mouth shut. You three idiots have trouble keeping your mouth closed and now you need treatment for it. Enjoy you idiocy, you bastards.

The snow stayed around, and probably will for a few more days, to make a cold Valentines day. Since I am very thankfully single, didn't have to worry about anyone having trouble to do anything.

Tuesday it was in the upper fifties, it got into the forties today. Other than that it's been in the twenties. Right now it is cloudy, but this morning it was clear and sunny. Weather forecasters don't know if were are going to get rain, snow or both. If we got a little snow that would be fine, but really don't want the rain. Rain will make a mess of things.

Had a headache yesterday, had one briefly this morning. Think both were weather related.

Monday it got into the mid-twenties, Tuesday it got into the upper fifties and today its not supposed to get past freezing. With that weather weirdness, it's no wonder my head hurts. But, if you take the word of a weather forecast for truth, the start of next week we are supposed to have temperatures in the forties and a chance of rain. Its enough to make someones head explode. Someone must have pissed Mother Nature off and I hope it wasn't me.

The Bears lost and they did it because they just gave up. They really looked like they could have won the damn thing. But they have no one but themselves to blame for losing. Only good thing to come out of the deal was that a black coach won the super bowl and that's it.

Game was pretty interesting for a while, the commercials sucked. Next year, unless there is someone in I want to see playing, I will just wait until Monday to watch the commercials online. And that's hard to saw because I normally like watching the game and the commercials.

Okay, how many months is it to training camp and then how many days until the new season starts?

Will be watching golf and basketball until baseball starts.

It is cold right now, it's going to be cold all weekend too. When it gets above freezing, which might not be until next week, it is going to feel like a heat wave. Note to self, don't ever complain about the heat or cold ever again as long as you live.

Top Chef ended its season earlier in the week. Will never watch that show ever again and Bravo should be ashamed. I didn't really care for any of the people on the show. Hate Marcel to the Nth degree, glad he didn't win. These people supposedly know how to cook but they made mistakes they should not have made for being seasoned pros. Things they did wrong- 1) you don't use wine to flambe, 2) you don't keep food in a deep fat fryer and hope the temperature comes up enough to cook the food, 3) you don't put chocolate to cool on a flat surface that doesn't have any flexibility and there are more but I'll stop there. If Bravo had done Top Chef-Junior High, I wouldn't have a problem. I hate cooking, I can cook just hate too, but I think I could have been on the show. The chefs just lacked a lot of things-personality, broad base of cooking knowledge, creativity and common sense are the things that jump out at me the most wrong with the lot. But anyway...at least the season is finally over.
