Hot day in winter

What in the world!? It was close to 80 degrees today! In the midst of winter!! Everyone was complaining about lack of A/C and the metro cars were kinda’ hot and stuffy. I had the luck of sitting next to …

Groundhog

What do groundhogs know? It feels like spring is right here. I mean, who needs Hawaii? With midday temperatures hitting the 60s, I’ve been able to take walks outside during lunch in a t-shirt and lap up the sun. I’m …

Blue

I have a bad case of the winter blues! I think fall and even up to Winter solstice I’m just working my way down to the blues. Mostly I can deal with it by self-medicating with lots of cheesy poofs, …

Such a tease

It’s too early for this

Leaf — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 00:43:13 +0000

The heat!

This heat wave is unbearable. I don’t even know if this is a heat wave or if this is the new normal, what with the global warming and all. Even this morning heading out to work, the hot humid air …

A/C

The weather is beautiful today. On my way to the nail salon, I noted the forsythia have started blooming. Second manicure ever! I went to this place nearby called Ivy. It’s run by Koreans, surprisingly. I guess I thought of …
