Baby, It's Cold Outside!

'WINTER' a poem by
Abigail Elizabeth McIntyre


DARN, it's cold!


The End

This is exactly how I feel today!! Woke up to 11F temps with wind chill of -1F!!! Bizarro land! Tonight, it is supposed to be down to -5F!!! Way too cold for me. But, on the other hand in Ft Lauderdale at this time it is 62F!!

3 Days to go! I can hardly wait! I think I have my stitching stuff ready to go. Will be taking TW's Wedding Sampler (starting on it during cruise) for my cousin's wedding this June, along with a few of the PR freebies, Be My Love, Winter 2008, and the PR logo. They are smaller designs and I figure I can work on one of them while I wait for my connection going down there. Threads all in my plastic bobbin box along with extra needles.

Of course, I also have to pack my light and magnifier, along with extension cord, but will do that last as I need them for the next few days to stitch here at home! LOL

Today or tomorrow, I will be climbing thru the cubby hole in my closet to get to my totes that have my summer clothes in them. I need to try some of them on, since I have lost some weight along with a couple of inches, so I certainly hope they fit! I don't think the stores have shorts/swim suits out yet! Plus, I need to find the clothes I can mix and match so I can have several different outfits without all the extra clothes! I am really going to go lightly this year. Learned my lesson last year.

Then, I have to type up my shopping list (souvenirs) and the household list, telling dh where everything is and what all I have stockpiled for him and the kids to have dinner while I'm gone. Plus, on that list, I need to leave explicit instructions, NOT TO WASTE THE MONEY!! Last year, he kept going to the game store and buying Playstation games!! This year I worry about car models! He has already built 5 of the 7 he got for Christmas!!

So, that is my plan for the next couple of days. Getting everything ready here at the house and packing to go cruising!

And to think I'm feeling cold and it's 60 degrees here in northern CA. With those temps I never would have gotten out of bed. Stay warm hon.
