Speaking of Perspective

Why does ten minutes go so fast when you are running late and sooooo slow when you are sitting in Starbucks drive-thru?

Perspective on Weather

For the past two or three weeks, our temperatures have been exceptionally cold in our area--temperatures have been high of the teens.  I've even worn long underwear under my regular clothing to keep warm when I go out.

This?

OR

This?

It hit 30 degrees & sunshine today, and I felt like taking off my coat.  Two months ago, I would be back in my long underwear.  It's just a matter of perspective.

Poor Dog

Regardless what people say, being a dog can be tough.  There is a quarter inch of ice on everything here in Ohio.  Schools anywhere near here are closed; many businesses are, too. 

But this ice is taking its hardest toll on our family dog.  She has fallen numerous times when I took her outside to relieve herself.  I only took her to the front yard--it really is too dangerous to walk on this ice.  Poor thing cannot get enough traction to . . . uh . . . well . . . take care of business.  If only all my friends could see me in my pj's, standing in my icy front yard grass for fear of falling, laughing at the poor dog who cannot handle changes in her routine.
