It got warm enough for me to do a load of laundry. The threat of snow we were supposed to have last night, didnt appear until now. I hope it doesnt amount to much. Dont mind the cold but I am now sick of snow and the threat of snow.

This morning I pre-ordered the movie "Giant Gila Monster" on the Rhino.com site. Also ordered another movie "Orgy Of The Dead", which is a Ed Wood film. Thought for shits and giggles I'd get it. Have American Dad Volume 3 and Mystery Science Theater 3000:The Movie pre-ordered via Amazon.com. Going to have some fun wathcing the dvds when I get them.

Due to some colder weather, I have had to put off doing some laundry. Thankfully I am not backed up.

Saturday wasnt as fun as we would have liked. Dentist appointment went fine, have to go back in a couple weeks to get cavaties filled though. But Mom didnt feel well, so we didnt stay long at the Nelson and the rest of the day sort of feel apart after that.

I have a dentist appointment on Saturday. After the appointment, we are going to have some fun. First ,we will go to the Nelson and then finish up with lunch there. Secondly, a movie (Meet The Spartans is the front runner), then maybe some shopping and lastly dinner. We haven't had much fun lately so this should be a nice change. And we ha vent been to a movie in ages.

It is very cold now, but it looks like the weather will warm up a bit. I wonder how long this warm turn will last. Regardless, the dogs love the snow we still have on the ground and the snow. And a happy snow dog is a great thing.

Had a dream last night that I was traveling with some gal from southern Texas to some place north of me. I don't know how I know her or why I was travelling with her, but I seemed comfortable with her. I do remember being in a restaurant with her and her mentioning that we didn't have a lot of money to spend on breakfast. As we were at the counter we couldn't read the menu very well or figure if they had anything we wanted. We ended up leaving without breakfast. The dream went on for a bit longer but I don't remember anything about it. It seemed to launch into me working in some sort of odd museum zoo combo. I was in a uniform and was in one of the rooms closing the drapes (or whatever they actually were) in each of the enclosures. I was interacting with some of the animals and was frightened by a few. There were lots of people in the room I was in. That's pretty much all I remember.

Managed to do some laundry today. With the cold weather and the snow, I haven't had the opportunity to do much laundry and I need to get caught up. Thankfully we aren't so behind that we need to go to the laundromat. Hope to get a couple more loads done this week.

The family room looks wonderful now. I am glad I pushed to go back and get a darker color. Its closer to the color Mom has always wanted in the living room. We have rearranged some of the things we had on the walls and it looks great. Now we wont have to paint again for some years.

We started painting with the color we had purchased last Saturday and found we didn't much like it. I think Mom got spooked by the gal helping us with the paint and went for a lighter color then she wanted. Going back to the hardware store and going to get a darker shade.

It took Mom over an hour to get home Wednesday, all due to the darned snow. And her cell phone went dead to boot. But the dogs are loving the weather so I guess someone gets something out of this.

We have snow!!! And it's not so nice. Mom has an event that she needs to attend tonight with her boss and a fellow co-worker. Guess it'll take her awhile to get there from work and then home.

Might be painting the family room this weekend. We have been wanting to do this for months. It seems a wee bit odd to do it in the middle of winter, but we're used to being odd.

Did some laundry earlier this afternoon despite not feeling well. I don't think I'm coming down with anything.

What snow we got yesterday no longer exists. The weather has been weird lately. IT bounces from winter to spring and then back again. I didn't mind getting the rain yesterday, as we need it and at least it wasn't freezing rain.

I have a dentist appointment in a couple weeks and I wish I didn't. But maybe I will feel differently then. My teeth are important, but its such a hassle and a drag to get to the office.

We got some rain this morning, followed by snow which pretty much melted as soon as it hit the ground. Although is some areas, it does look like it is sticking. Looks like it's going to snow off and on the rest of the day.

Have nothing planned for the weekend. Will probably just do some cleaning and see if there is anything else we can junk.

The Kansas Jayhawks won the Orange Bowl!!! The Missouri Tigers won their bowl appearance. Sometimes its good to be a Big 12 fan.

Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk.

New Years Day!

Have no resolutions, because I know I will break them.

Supposed to get down to single digits temperatures tonight as a arctic blast moves in for a few days.

There is still some snow on the ground from the last storm.

The tree is down and out. The ornaments have been put away until they're needed again.

Dogs are loving this weather, but I'm not. Might have a fire tonight and maybe tomorrow.

Finished Splinter Cell Double agent a couple days ago. Am replaying it again to see if I can do a few things different.
