You know it is cold in Iowa...

Yes ... I had one case of Diet Coke in the trunk of my car....then I had twelve cans of exploded Diet Coke in the trunk of my car....ran to the car wash and vacuumed up the icy soda...learn a lesson!

Thursday night.....Iowa roads...

Red....Travel not advised and closed. Pink....Completely covered.

So I think it means stay home!

Thanks for all of the Birthday Wishes....and thanks for your time Skypeing. Getting old isn't too bad and of course the atlternative isn't good...I would rather get older!

40 below zero Wind Chill tonight!!!!!

Today I think....."Why Do I Live In Iowa" .... but I am also Thankful for my new windows and siding....my house doesn't have any drafts anymore and so much warmer! Maybe it will help with the heat bill!!!!!!

Below zero and wind in the wrong direction...

I am getting worried....my dish soap under the counter is all gelled up...that means my pipes are getting close to being frozen....why does it have to be so darn cold! I am too cheap to let the water run....I will just leave the cupboard doors opened tonight....and say a prayer that is all I needed to do! May have to get out the hair dryer in the morning....old house are awesome you just never know what is going to happen next!

Happy New Year!

I have no New Year's Resolutions....Things are going great for me! Great family, good health, good job....great friends. Ohhhh the one thing is maybe.....start looking for a man! What do you think?
