monday, brrrrr…

yeah, it’s 4.  nice way to start march. here are a few more photos of our second day in florida, after we rushed over the long bridge from sanibel island to see the sunset. well, actually, here’s a picture i took of myself while we were still on captiva,...

another chilly monday…

…and it’s good to be inside right now, but i’m going running pretty soon because this is the warmest it’s going to be all week…and today it’s only supposed to be 29. so yeah, i don’t think we’ll be seeing any daffodils...

a warm thursday afternoon…

yeah, it’s 60 degrees.  amazing, but of course it’s not gonna last.  i’m pretty sure that spring will come eventually, though. so, back to our trip to florida…i posted photos of the first morning there, and then mom and i went on a dolphin...

wednesday, happy lincoln’s birthday!

well, kevin said he was gonna go to a ceremony at lincoln’s tomb this morning, which starts at 10:30.  right now it’s 9 degrees, so i seriously doubt he’ll be making it.  maybe he’ll go to some other ceremony tonight, which will be inside,...

monday morning, brrrr….

yeah, it’s getting pretty boring, as the temperatures climb way up to the 20s, then plunge again and today the high will be 10. at least we don’t live in siberia.  there was a little thing about siberia in the millions of hours of olympics on the tv, and...

yes, pretty much vacationing away the winter…

i’m really not spending all winter vacationing, but i’d like to be! but the thing is, i’m in this play, i probably mentioned that, and we started rehearsals a few weeks ago, but we didn’t have rehearsals all week this week because one of the...

a bitterly cold and chaotic tuesday morning…

it’s -5 right now. he first thing when i got up, i let chester out because he was desperate, and then les was right there wanting out too, so i was gonna check on him in a minute. when iwent into the living room,  it seemed chilly – kevin had been up for...

friday morning,

and the forecast is cold, cold, cold, yet again…it might heat up to 30 today, but we’re also supposed to have wind gusts of 40 mph. delightful! so, back to sunny and warmer gulf shores… monday night, i asked kevin to wake me up on tuesday morning....

another cold morning…

and this morning it’s also gray and there’s a little snow coming down, but nothing to worry about, hopefully. more photos from our trip to gulf shores…here’s last monday, and it seems hard to believe it was just a week and a couple days ago....

good morning good morning good morning…

well, yes, it’s only 5 degreees with a minus whatever wind chill out there, but i’m toasty warm here at home, gotta do a massage soon, but right now things are quite fine anbd calm.  chester is curled up on the couch next to me.  i’m actually sitting...

ok, i know i know, i know, it’s SO PAST XMAS, and WHO CARES ABOUT XMAS ANYWAY, certainly not me, HOWEVER, here’s the beautiful photo of randy’s dazzling dining room and kitchen, all finished, so lovely, and decorated for the holidays. i’m...

photoshopped!

since i wanted to merge the top half of me with the bottom half, i decided that it’d be nice to put me in an interesting location. this one is interesting, at least to me. it’s from our first day of biking in scotland, when we got really, really lost. we...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

and a great big WHEW, as my show is now over.  it’s funny, how much effort i put into it, and it was all over so quickly. i didn’t cough so much, luckily, and it was a full house – i think they even had to bring in more chairs!  i had thought that...
