I didn't sign up for this...

Well I guess I did. But it's so cold! And I've been up since 5AM with FarmerGeek and the puppy. And yes it was FarmerGeek that took the puppy out and took care of the chickens. I made breakfast and folded laundry. I don't function well before about 9AM. Oh I'm awake, and I'm moving, but I just not all with it.

For the record, the actual temp has gone up to 9 degrees. The windchill is around -17 degrees offically. The wind on our hill is usually 5-10 mph harder than weather.com lists so take it for what you will. The thing that makes me mad though, I could totally take the cold, but WE HAVE NO SNOW!!! My folks have a few feet, and I never thought I'd be jealous of Lake Effect Snow, but we have this awesome sledding hill- AND WE HAVE NO SNOW!!! It's not fair to be this cold with nothing to show for it. And to add insult to injury, it's supposed to rain on Christmas. Rain.

I'm moving to Alaska. They have snow.

And Sarah Palin.

On a completely unrelated subject, I finally saw a Chia Pet commercial. Ususally they're on every other commercial break the whole Christmas season.

Hey, don't forget to mention that even though the heat lamp was on all night, the chickens water still froze and I had to play with water this morning, too!!!

If I see any more snow here in houston, I'll send it to ya! I certainly won't miss it a bit.

The cold I can do without, but where I'm moving to come spring gets pretty chilly at night. The Chihuahuan desert in West Texas, hot in the day and chilly at night.

But it only snows there about every 6 years or so...

Enjoyed the visit...
