Possibly the saddest comment on Santa, from Shirley Temple:
I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.
Whoa. Good myth.

I'm at work. It's very foggy right now. The high will be 62, with strong winds, rain and possible thunderstorms.
Our high is supposed to be 68, with rain and then thunderstorms later, and apparently the possibility of "tornadic activity." And my sinuses are PISSED.

I'm connecting via O'Hare, so your tornadic weather reports are making me nervous.

It's already 62 here. High expected to be in the low 70s. Apparently, there have already been tornado warnings elsewhere in the state. A big chunk of thunderstorms should be hitting soon. Just the usual xmassy weather. When D was born in Tx, it was thundery with tornado warnings and hail. Just keeping up with tradition.

They're saying it might get up into the 70s here ... and I saw forsythia and iris blooming last week.
And I found this amusing. (WARNING: cockroach-related)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, it might get to 70 here tomorrow. Which is ridiculous!! Mostly I don't want to shave my legs, but luckily, I have ita in my head telling me that 60s is very clearly tights weather.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's supposed to be a high in the mid-50s here, with another storm coming through tonight so who knows what tomorrow will be like.

Today's already shaping up to be a great day. I got paid, got a Christmas bonus, and the cat hair-hiding sofa slipcovers I've been waiting forever for finally showed up as in stock!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
We don't get Christmas bonuses. We get a "Happy Holidays" email from our boss that reminds us to monitor our email while we're out of the office.

I apologize for laughing, Zen. So not funny.
