Same Old Thing This Year Too

This is the weather forecast for the Wichita area for the next few days:

Now why this is important, at least to me, is that it will be a “wintry mix” tomorrow December 8th. And why is that you ask? Well, it will be my 55th birthday and it is gonna suck! Though I will admit that the high (?!) for the 9th is only a measly 21 degrees so I guess I really should not gritch and groan about my wintry mix.

In the 30+ years I have lived in Kansas I can count on my hands the birthdays I have had where the weather didn’t suck and still have fingers left over. Coming from Los Angles where some years I could even go to the beach if I wanted (as long as I didn’t go in the water, I’m not totally crazy) this has been frustrating and made me even more aware of how much a birthday in December sucks.

I guess I shouldn’t really complain since it will be a whopping 39 degrees. I have had ice storms on my birthday at least 5 or 6 times so this is almost a heat wave when it comes right down to it.

I’m just blue with the weather and the fact that I will be alone tomorrow since Hubby will be in western Kansas for work and my son has to work as well. I was hoping to at least take myself out for lunch in Wichita but not if it’s going to be snowy and/or icy.

Damn, I don’t even have cake. I must be getting grouchy in my old age. 🙂

Update:

Hubby brought me roses, dinner for me to have tonight and tomorrow and gasp! even some dessert 🙂 He is such a sweetie – Thank you honey.

Ever Have One of Those Days….

Do you ever have one of those days when you know you need to post, have a couple of great things to actually write a post about, but you just….can’t quite….seem to get the energy…or “umph” to just “do it” ?

Well folks today is one of those for me. We went to California for the Roar Grand Opening party over this last weekend and we had an awesome time which I will be posting about. It is just taking me awhile to get back into the swing of things, plus I had a doctor appointment yesterday, came home and found out that we were getting our driveway graded and asphalted which they are still working on today plus I have my appointment with Nolan to finish up my newest tattoo! Whew!

I will leave you all with somethings I found funny and I hope that you will too! Stay tuned though because I have another book giveaway coming up as well as the party post and my new tattoo unveiling.
