Weather, boo hiss. Niece and kiddos are supposed to start driving from Indy back to Montana tomorrow with overnight at Hotel Boxster. At least they are stopping here before they drive into the worst of it.

Not quite as nice as 2 years ago when it hit 80. :cool:

Thanks running man! I hope you get to take a break from running sometime soon.

We have had a great Christmas thus far. LittleWx started questioning yesterday how Santa would get in since we don’t have a chimney so we left the back door unlocked until after he was asleep. He also wanted to leave carrots out for the reindeer and to see a picture of Santa when he came. Thankfully MrsWx found an app to put a Santa overlay on a picture.

Two hours left until the in-laws leave. I have not yet made any snide remarks so I am doing great!

Will be thinking of the marching band tonight as they make their journey to Texas. I don’t miss those bus rides. God speed to anyone flying out of DSM tomorrow.

I never know WHAT to expect from my sister in Washington...other than the annual calendar of flowers and garden art from her amazing garden, and the ubiquitous Frango mints. This year was no different...

The earrings were made from forks with our mother's silver pattern (the special silver that only came out when the china came out) - one pair for each of us. The pillow - well, google it. It's safe. ;)

Update: snide remarks have been made since MIL decided to wait until 5 to start dinner. Kids eat around 6 and start bedtime at 7. We are almost ready to eat now. MrsWx has done a good job reminding them that they have to leave as soon as dinner is over now.

Man, you REALLY hate your in-laws.

Meh. I admittedly let their lack of planning, time management, communication and punctuality get to me too much but it really bugs me and who else to vent to but you guys.

If any of you remember JSmith who used to hang around here some....his mom was tragically killed in a car vs deer accident Sunday evening on highway 30.

I remember him - he was either in the murder house, or played mafia. Don't remember which. Oh, wait - he was in our bracket challenge the first year Cooler ran it.

Highway 30 at night is a no go for me.

My family let me watch some of the Dr Who Christmas Marathon. I hadn't seen a complete trailer yet for the new year's day special. So, when I heard "exterminate!" I scared Z by squealing in excitement.

Not exactly sure.
Leaving in 10 hours. Gonna be fun. Need to look up @GTO address and remember to throw in sledge hammer to get his door open. Just needs a little extra help since the lock sticks I heard. Should be crashing in DFW tomorrow night or maybe a little south.

I hate that Tama county stretch (where the incident was). Was driving on 100 heading out to Newhall at 4PM on Sunday and saw a big herd (20+) on a hill next to the highway. That explains why they have extra tall fences there.

Sudden onset of chills, fatigue, fever, aches.......I have the flu, don't I? Feeling better right now vs. a few hours ago. Took ibuprofen at 8pm but still have 100.5 temp. Did get my flu shot this year....little man can't get one until next month. I'm sure hoping this is something else and that he doesn't get it.
