Good morning you early risers! Sorry sleep is alluding you Ann.

I longed to move somewhere warm for years. Not in the cards, but the stories you all share about changing locals takes some of the sting out. So many things to finagle when seasons of life change. I hope I'm ready for it. I've lived at the same address for 38 years, with the same man, worked for the same school district since 2001, had the same medical insurance since 2013, the same bank since 1992, the same church since 1985, the same dentist since 1996. I like to think I'm an adventurous explorer, but turns out I'm a deeply rooted Minnesotan!

Its snowing here, but it's hard to say if it is going to amount to much yet. I need to pack, so I'm probably not going to venture out and about. The weekend goes fast, and next week at work will be busy, so 2 days of cozy living is probably just the ticket.

126.8 lbs.

And here I still am after my 3:15 am post this morning on yesterday's thread. And surprise surprise--there's no new news to report since then.

Nothing bad woke me or kept me up--it was just one of those nights. I'm proud to say I have now slogged through every puzzle the New York Times can conjure.

Is it the ****tail hour yet?

$300?! Good Lord! Good luck finding someone more reasonable. Your hair does look wonderful (I like it long the way you're wearing it lately).

However, we both deserve a hairdresser who doesn't charge almost as much as my monthly salary back in the day when I taught junior high science and math. (Yes, for one year after undergrad I was a public school teacher for $400/month. I loved the kids, hated the administration.

119 - 5 days in a row. The longest streak of being at exactly the same weight since I started recording it daily in late July.

Beautiful day here yesterday and most days are expected to be similar over the next couple of weeks. My kids who are having snow and ice this weekend don't want to hear about it. Right now it is very foggy but should clear in a couple of hours.

Today we are walking early, water aerobics at 9, then maybe the local pool for a bit? DH and I are playing golf mid-afternoon.

Have a superlative Saturday!

3:15!

As I recall last time I had my hair done here (highlight, cut, dry) it was close to $300. Way too much. The hairdresser I am seeing in March is in the next town and moved here from the other coast last year. She was the longtime hairdresser for a friend of mine on the other coast so the friend had her hair done here when she visited last spring. Her hair looked fantastic and I think it was somewhat less expensive. We shall see...

The one good thing about a superbowl party with friends here is that it is in our community so no driving more than 5 minutes and we don't have to be on the main road.
