Antarctica??????

I am, without a doubt, a SUMMER girl!! So just let me say how -

I AM SOOOO NOT A FAN OF TODAY'S TEMPS!!!

I walked out the door this morning and thought I was going to immediately freeze to the spot where I was standing!!! I thought I woke up in Antarctica!! This isn't just the - burrrrr it's cold - kind of cold, oh no!!! This is the - the snot in my nose is freezing and hurting my brain - kind of cold!!! I don't like it, not one bit!! You see, I sit at my comfy little desk all year round with a toasty little space heater!! If it gets below 75, I'm a walking, talking, shivering ice cube....no lie. The goose bumps well up on my arms like little Mt. Everest's!!! I thrive in 80 to 85 degree temps. Those temps are jeans and t-shirt weather as far as I'm concerned!!

The worst part is that the weather report says it's supposed to get to ZERO??? UGH!! I already broke out my green puffy coat, gloves, scarf......I look like the little kid from "A Christmas Story". You know, the one who's Mom bundled him all up and sent him to school?!?!? I think his name was Randy. I HATE THE COLD!! Yes - I am whining.....and NO I don't think it's going to help - BUT - it sure makes me feel a whole lot better!!!! =)

I do have to say that I have to hand to those of you that work outdoors in this kind of weather!!! You're so much better a person than I!! Either that - or you're just plain NUTS!! You know - you may be just a little bit of both!!!

ENOUGH WHINING!!!

I haven't written a lot lately, I don't want to bore you to death with tedious day to day crap and to be honest, nothing crazy or exciting has really happened in the past week or so!! So rather than saying:

I got out of bed.

I went to work.

I sat at a desk all day.

I went home.

I went to bed.

I got up and did it all again the next day..........

I just figured I'd give you a break instead!! If I start writing that stuff you may not come back!!! Who wants that??? I sure don't!!

Tonight I am going to go do something I have NEVER done before. At one time I thought this activity was for the frail, wrinkly, grey haired part of our population........I wouldn't have even stepped foot there. Apparently, times have changed!!

B-I-N-G-O

I guess it's not just for seniors anymore!!

Those of you that know a little about me, know that I am not a very vocal person. I do not yell, I do not get loud. So this should be very interesting. I can't imagine how this is going to work.......

I'll get my little Bingo boards - paper promises of victory.

Get the little colorful dauber thingy to mark those glorious numbers off as they flow sweetly from the caller's lips.

Position myself over the cards, dauber in hand - like a predator stalking it's prey, intently listening.......

Greedily start marking off those beautiful numbers on my board.....begging, pleading for 5 of them to be in a row......

Realize that I do indeed, have a BINGO!!!

HERE LIES THE PROBLEM FOR ME!!!!

You are then supposed to yell - BINGO!! HA!!! I don't yell, I get embarrassed easily. I start thinking to myself.....

What if.........

I go the numbers wrong???

I marked one by mistake??

Someone ELSE got it too???

I sound retarded screaming out BINGO??

OH how stressful it's getting already!!! I have been told by several people that I worry far too much. The poor little hamster that runs in my little hamster wheel brain always works double time!!! I worry about the silliest of things.....ALL THE STINKING TIME!!! I swear, if I wasn't worrying about something, I don't know what I'd do with all my free time!! Well, I hope I win LOTS of money!!! Or at least break even would be good =).....if nothing else, maybe I'll get a good story out of it!!
