Ice Ice Baby

Ok, ok, but I bet I did get your attention, right?

Spent time writing this blog earlier today only to lose it
when publishing. Not sure why...but will try again.

This weather is Typical Iowa Winter Weather...so why am I
getting Cabin Fever so much this year?

Maybe that is something that comes with age as well as all
the other "fun" stuff?

I am finding my topics are wandering into each other, but that
is ok too. Time well spent writing, blah blah blah....hehe.

Anyway, as I look at the storm now, the worst of it missed us.
It went North East as I had hoped it would. Tracked to where
some of my good friends live.

Just know this kind friends, I did NOT wish it upon any of you.
When is spring again?

Ok, yes I know the answer to that, just trying to lighten the mood.
I tend to try to do that whenever and wherever I can.
It seems to be my nature. I find I come by that from
both sides of my Family...Mom's and Dad's. I only recently
realized that. My Dad has a wicked sense of fun and humor
as well as my Mom did.

Today I was sitting here visiting with some friends online
and became so chilled I had to go into another room, sit by hubby
under a blanket next to my lil Duke doggie to get warmed up again.

So now I return with blanket doubled on my lap and warm thoughts to
keep my little toesies warm.

I do not mind the winter weather near as much as I would if I had to
venture out to work now days. I have not been gainfully employed
outside my home for about 2 years now. I do not regret that because
a lot of good things, and some not so good, that have happened
during these past two years. I would have had to miss a lot if
it weren't forbeing unemployed.

I had dreams of living the Artist Life. Trying my hand at writing
for a living. From what has come from my pen so far, I better let
that Dream go poof. Along with the one about Singing for a living,
and the one of Saving the World all by myself. Next on the list is
possibly the Drawing, Painting, and Entrepreneur phase of my list.
Comedy?
Seinfeld is safe for a few years yet too!

Getting a real job in this wintery mix would be a nightmare.
Hubby has even stayed home and either taken vacation days
or sick days just to stay safe. He is officially retired, so
has that option. I have to admit, I like not having to worry
about him being out driving in some of this stuff...it is
very nasty lately.

I think Bears may have the right idea after all, don't you?
Toight it appears the storm has moved on to other areas, and
we have no worries except the cold.

I was remembering some other winters this one reminds me of
and will write soon about them.

Today I just wanted to get my time in. I have not missed a day
writing since I began to work on it in earnest.

Now that does not mean I have written anything of extreme
content...but I am looking forward to this time now rather
than dreading it...so something is working to my advantage.

See you soon Friends,
Thanks for sharing this time with me.

Hugs

Katie
