So I'm sitting at my desk wondering why I still live in Minnesota. Obviously my family is here and it's where I've always lived. Part of it used to be the politics, but that's been changing and it's not as Minnesota Nice as it used to be. (Although it's never been quite as nice as we like to pretend.)
I still really love autumn in Minnesota. The leaves changing color, crunching under your feet and cool, gentle weather. But we seem to have skipped the season this year and are headed straight to the frozen tundra.
Today it's 25° and blowing snow. The average high for today is 61°! And we'll be lucky to hit KK's low temperature of 35° for a high. I'm sure in a few weeks flurries and a low of 25° will seem almost tropical, but it's getting harder for me to adjust to the weather changes. Old age and arthritis. Not fun. Now I know why retirees move to Florida and Arizona. Although I've still got my eye on Scotland. It's 16° Celsius (60° F) in Edinburgh today. Beautiful landscape and Scottish boys, warms the heart if not the arse.
Enjoy your mid 50's this afternoon KK, I'll be making another cup of tea and digging my slippers out of the filing cabinet.
Uggh! Here I thought I had learned a cool trick. Holding down the Alt key and typing 248 on the keypad, I got the little degree symbol. ° But when I preview the page it's showing an ugly capital A wearing a ^ on top in between the number and the symbol. Now not only will KK discover that Auntie Sunshine can't spell or construct a proper sentence to save her life, but that she's technologically retarded too. --- Aha! I may be a moron, but I'm resourceful. Got rid of that scary hat wearing A afterall. After all? Whatever, it's gone.
No Netflix review today, I worked on wedding announcements/invitations with my sister-in-law Shannon last night and went to bed without turning on the TV. And we're actually getting offered some overtime at work, so it may be awhile before I watch anything good.

Hi auntie sunshine! It's me, KK! Mommy thinks I'm napping in my crib, but you won't tell her what I'm really doing. Right? :)
I love, love, love, love, love your new blog! Mommy wants you to write mine too - the way she writes is boooorrrring. Yours is great! Can one person "guest blog" every day? Hmmm....
I hope you stay warm today. It is nice here, I wish you could come over and take me to the park! Mommy says we'll be coming to visit soon, but it will probably be cold there - so we'll just have to hang out and watch Netflix together instead of going to a park. As long as you give me cookies and milk (no veggies or fruits!) I'll watch movies all day!
I can't wait to see you! I love you!
KK
P.S. We're impressed with the technology skills! We would have had to type out "degrees"...
