Watching The Weather

Last week we were lucky and had a very mild week, this week is going to be brutal. We are looking at a major Winter storm heading our way. Oh yes, freezing temps, blizzard-like conditions, and 14-15 inches of snow. The one cool thing about the upcoming storm is a chance for thunder-snow. I’m really excited about that. I’ve seen thunder-sleet, but never thunder-snow. We’ll see what happens. I’m pretty sure that we’ll see a few days out of school this week.

So how is the weather in your neighborhood today?

Unseasonably Warm

Usually Winter here looks pretty much like this…

And the sky above mostly looks like this, all season long…

I Luv Coffee Cups

When my hubby goes to convention he always brings me home a little gift from his travels. After almost ten years he knows me pretty good by now, so he brings me coffee cups. I absolutely love them, and it has become a cool tradition in our marriage. At this year’s convention  he stopped off at three different airports, and he brought me a cup from each of them. It’s hard to choose which one is my very favorite.

This one from Washington D.C. cracked me up! I enjoy a little snark with my morning coffee.

I love this one from Kansas City (one of my very favorite places). It’s iconic views of the city on one jumbo coffee cup.

But this grumpy gator coffee cup from Florida made my day. It is so true, he knows I’m super grumpy without my coffee.

What about you… What quirky items do you like to collect?
