Hi!! Ya, warm here too in Boston, almost 60 by wednesday but i'm sure a blizzard is around the corner lol!! As for good news, i'm finally really noticing results of working out everyday, down 32 lbs. since July. Usually i'm way too critical of myself and how i look but back into my pre-surgery/quit smoking jeans lol!! :bounce

32 Holy Moly

We hit over 70 today in DC. Lovely weather indeed.

about 63 here in chicago... perfect if you ask me!

It's raining here but I love the rain and I'm grateful for the moisture in our otherwise dry desert. I have a warm bed and home every night. Two beautiful children, and the best friends one could ask for. What could be better?

Oh, and after 24 years of driving trucks as my personal vehicle I traded the last one in on a zippy red Scion XD this past weekend. My kids are noticeably thrilled and happy they won't be crammed behind the truck seats anymore!

Life is good, God is good, it's all good!

I met my nephew for the first time!!! He can say 3 things - "Cars!", "Go Diego!" and "Red Sox!"

My niece and nephew both live far away so I don't see them too often. My niece introduced me to hannah montana and high school musical and I spent a solid week of my vacation being a kid right along with them.

It was awesome!

Re: MN summers
 

When asked what Minesotans do in the summer:

If it falls on a weekend, we have a picnic!

It is FREEZING in Iraq right about now! Lordy! Life is good though. I am so grateful that we have internet etc...could not imagine WWII with no comms like we have today! 5 and a wake up and I will be outta here! I can't wait to go to meetings when I get home.

YAY, apparently he's already a genius too!!!! Go Sox!!

As a former Minneso----------(make that O long)tan, all geees says is true. Here in Hotlanta they put on parkas when it's 60. Some people were still wearing them yesterday when it was 75. And they never sweat a drop? Guess it's all relative. Life has been all good for me lately. I'm divorced...away from the insanity that was being married to an A, and creating a new life for myself. It's scary and exciting. Can't wait for what comes next!
