So I was pet sitting for my parents over the weekend (they were in taking a brief vacation in Cali... smart!) They have two adorable cats who make me laugh. Saturday morning I woke up to find two cats sitting *on* me, staring *at* me.... well goodmorning to you guys too!

Wind Chill Advisory
Statement as of 4:52 AM CST on January 19, 2008

Expires 7:00 PM EST on January 19, 2008

A Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect until 6 PM CST this afternoon. Temperatures will continue to fall to between 12 and 20 below zero through daybreak. West-northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph will push wind chills to between 25 and 40 below through the morning hours. Wind chills of 25 to 35 below zero will continue during late Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon as temperatures rise modestly. Therefore a Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect for the entire area of central and south central Minnesota and west central Wisconsin until 6 PM Saturday.

Wind chill advisories mean that very cold air and strong winds will combine to generate dangerously low wind chills. This will
result in frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken. If you must venture outdoors overnight into Saturday... make sure you wear a hat and gloves. Keep blankets and extra clothing in your car if you travel.

the wisdom of the cookie...

Early this week I opened a fortune cookie that said (and i QUOTE):

"A cheerful letter or message is on its way to you."

Today (Thursday) I arrive home to this AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC sight...! Not one but *two* packages sit waiting for ME! I have amazing friends in Japan (by way of Ohio) and New Jersey. They make me feel loved and I appreciate them so, so, so, so much! (thank you)




maybe more on this later, but now to bed... and sweet dreams : )

last night...


Last night, I almost fell asleep to an infomercial about prostate enlargement. I turned on "Amelie" instead. Good choice.

Little House on the Prairie...

...is a great, great show. We need more Pa's in this world. Also, I'd like to say that I think this world might be a better place if people who deserved to get punched in the face, got punched in the face occassionally.


(p.s. coffee in the afternoon is grand...)

puddles of water instead of sheets of ice...

Today it was 36 degrees in Minneapolis. Balmy! So i went for a walk in my neighborhood. 


On my walk I saw 5 snowmen. It makes me happy to know there are still people making snowmen.
