It's like Spring here today.
Sun is shining, birds are singing, people mowing their lawns AND it's like 60 degrees. :bounce:

Consequently I spent three hours "Spring Cleaning." :o


Now I think I'll just make a margarita and kick back with DU. Who's with me!? I'll totally share. :7

2. I'm not into margaritas, but I'll take a beer
God, it was 30 degrees and clear here today and with the weather we've had lately that felt like spring. It was snowing all week here and at one point it got down to 5 degrees.

8. Me either
Actually, I don't give a damn how cold it gets as long as it doesn't snow. I drive for a living and work moutside a little bit. I'd rather have the cold ass temps than the snow sliding me all over the road.

14. I would agree
unless it's really cold and sunny, I hate that. So does my mom; I don't why, but we do. :shrug:

5. Yeah, it was like Spring here today in Minnesota.
It got up to 35 degrees and some of the snow was melting. I even saw a couple of people at the store without winter jackets.

6. Same weather here..
A lot of fog this morning but it turned into a nice day. I spent a most of the morning in a cold crawl space running wire and replacing a few joist. Shitty work on on a Saturday morning. Now I am getting drunk.

12. It was for my sister..
Edited on Sat Feb-23-08 07:34 PM by Omphaloskepsis
I had to help. I don't mind and she promised to bring over a home cooked meal every night for a couple of weeks. Most of my food is coming from a toaster oven right now and it is growing old very fast.

edit :: I fucked up.

30. Sounds like my town.
Except it's liberal. So I can't scare them with my liberalness. Although I did write a letter that was published in towns paper about how we need to unify as liberals and stop the petty bickering. It was cool. :D

31. well i hear all the "cool kids" hang out at the walmart parking lot
:rofl: which makes me think that the "cool kids" really aren't all that cool. :P

we actually have a tiny theater and bowling alley and it is a lake town so during the summer we can break out the jet skis and boats.. unfortunately though the water wars down here with georgia vs. 'bama have our lake's water level waaaaaaay down.

47. I've never grown them before.
I've always had good luck with tomatoes, but this is a first. I wanted to get yellow pear tomatoes but they aren't in yet. Neither is the tarragon. I didn't know that tarragon cannot be grown from seed. Bummer.
