february the 82nd

it was 82 here today. a muggy 82 i might add.

it's february. from my 20 year frame of reference 82 degrees and february aren't uttered in the same breath unless there's a beach vacation on the horizon.

we wore shorts and t-shirts. got sweaty just playing catch the slobbery ball with aunt bea.

today. on february the 82nd.

i just checked 9news.com to see what kinda weather the good folks in colorado are enduring right now.

alright, i'm gloating.

right now, in my old 'hood in colorado it's 13 degrees and it's been snowing and snowing and it should continue snowing right through tomorrow morning.

right now, in a happy warm place in south texas i just got through turning on the upstairs A/C so dear daughter could sleep comfortably after she was sweatin' out to the tunes of hannah montana and her gazillion dollar movie earlier this evening.

last year: 13 degrees and 4 feet of snow.

this year: shorts and t-shirts ... possibly the house will get to try out its spanking new gutters tonight if the raindance worked.

last year: potty training a lab puppy in 4 feet of snow.

this year: i don't really care if the dog is potty trained ... as long as she pees in the pool and not on my carpet.

HOWEVER, the fact that i'm having to SHAVE MY LEGS in february is starting to tick me off.
