"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Chapter 4!

[TheDisneyGirl02]

Well its only -3 degrees right now, no idea what the windchill is. fun fun fun, I have gotten more emails telling me how cold it is in Atlantar right now...25! well that would be a heat wave compared to this.

Wow...25, that is a heatwave!

I turned the weather on this morning (I was up earlier than I wanted to be because my knee was bothering me, probably because of the cold weather) and the dew point was -3! I never knew the dew point could be a negative number! I'll try to remember that when it's 90 degrees and humid this summer!

Anybody doing anything interesting this weekend? Today I'm probably going on my first big outing (the last one was canceled thanks to the fact that I almost passed out at PT), we're going to Walmart! LOL!!! They have the motorized wheelchairs that I can ride in, so it will be a nice little outing. Dave is coming up later tonight and spending the rest of the weekend up here with me! I'm so excited because I haven't seen him since last weekend and I miss him so much!!!!!!!

Woo Hoo for Walmart! I'm sure you are more than ready to get some new scenery! Glad your honey will be there with you to make it that much better.

Those of you on Facebook have probably seen this already, but my "interesting" plan for this weekend is a mini high school reunion tonight. Since I joined Facebook, I've learned just how many people live here in Columbus, so I decided to organize a gathering. One of my friends mentioned that a popular local '80s band, Reganomics, is playing tonight, so we thought that would be a great background with all the tunes of our young years playing.

...how cold it is in Atlantar right now...25! ....The waterpark was great....Dh is getting ready for the big game, he needs to go buy wool socks. The stadium gets awfully chilly.

Atlanta is 25?!?! Geez! It was -3F when I got up at 8:30 this morning, but it's already up to 10!!!!

My Passat had sat outside on Thursday night when it was around -15F. I let the car warm up 15 minutes before I left for work. Twenty minutes into my 25 minute commute to work, I was at a stop sign. Hmmmmm...what's that smell? Must be the truck in front of me. So I get to the parking garage at work, and I notice the smell indeed had not gone away, and in fact, suddenly became quite overwhelming. It went from smelling similar to oil burning to a toxic fume. Bottom line: The cold air froze the air injector pump, when in turn backs up the exhaust into the cabin of the car. UGH! The Volkswagon dealership said this is not extremely uncommon with these temperatures we're having, and before deciding to get a new pump (approx $500 w/labor) it should sit in their garage overnight to see if it unfreezes. Besides....there's not a pump to be found in the area, so it will have to be ordered. grrrr

STAY WARM OUT THERE...that includes you, Drea, in your 50 degree weather!

Came on to get away from the TV. Thought things looked really bleak for my Eagles and they're starting to turn it around. I'm so nervous!!! Had to come in to the computer to try to relax a little. It's just a game, right?????

Its been a good game to watch.. GO TEAM..

Since a Giant Fan can't root for the Eagles, I have to root for ARZ..
Not over yet.

 

[MagicMe]

Well, considering how bad they looked early on, they at least made a game out of it. Just came up a little bit short.

I tried cheering for your Eagles... but guess they didnt hear me! Was really going for that PA Superbowl. BUT now ..think im going for the Ravens, let 2 birds fly to the bowl LOL. Sorry Val!

 

[Buckeye Gal]

I tried cheering for your Eagles... but guess they didnt hear me! ...

Me too. Sorry Iggles fans.

 

[lenzs4]

WOW - Did you see the Cardinals? Yea AZ. We needed that. Loved that sign - Shock the world!! LOL
Do not watch football except for the bowl - love the TV commercials but had to watch AZ finally get somewhere.

 

[Buckeye Gal]

Congrats, Shirely! I forgot we had some AZ people in our group! I guess it's likely Sandi (Hoagie Pie) and Darrell might be Cardinals fans, too, but I'm not sure.

Congrats to those cheering on the Steelers, too!

I really didn't have any investement in either game today other than I have a lot of Eagles fans surrounding me!

 

[anewmac]

congrats steelers fans (thats you right val LOL jk)

Should be a fun bowl. Im really hoping for some exciting commercials and half time show.. I too like you kimberly dont really have much care for who wins since my team isnt in ti (Ram fan, brainwashed as a kid LOL, then a Charger fan gots to go for the hometown too LOL) so just hoping i have some fun moments to watch during the bowl! (how that for PC for me LOL)

 

[Magic3forme]

Wahoooooo!! Dh was at the game! ( he was at the last AFC championship where they lost to the Patriots.) -- that was a miserable ride home. tonight was very pleasant!!

I was rooting for the Eagles for a PA superbowl, sorry Philly group!
Congrats AZ, a game well played.

now to plan what to do for the Superbowl... party at our house!!!

 

[MagicMe]

Yes, congrats to those Cardinal fans (okay, I guess it didn't hurt too bad to say that!!!).

What can you say, it was very apparent that they played the better game. Being from PA, I now have to route for the Steelers!!!

Hey all I hope the cold has lifted for everyone. On Saturday we finally got above 0! It was heavenly to start my car up and see it say 19 degrees! Seriously felt like a heatwave. Of course now that the cold has lifted in the past 24 hours I feel like I'm coming down with something.

Anybody doing anything interesting this weekend? Today I'm probably going on my first big outing (the last one was canceled thanks to the fact that I almost passed out at PT), we're going to Walmart!

How did the outing go Amy? Have you been back to work yet?

I hope your car is doing better Kimberly. A couple mornings last week my car was less than excited to start up in the below zero temps. I was warming it up for like 20 min before I would leave so I could hop into a warm car!

Wahoooooo!! Dh was at the game! ( he was at the last AFC championship where they lost to the Patriots.) -- that was a miserable ride home. tonight was very pleasant!!

This made me LOL...I once dated a guy who was a huge sports fan and I can remember a few of those car rides when his team would loose a big game

My outing was fun! I ended up going to Walmart and then for Chinese food with my sister. I was VERY tired when I got home though. It's funny, we went to the Chinese buffet and my sister had to get the food for me! LOL! Dave came up and we had a wonderful weekend together.

Dave is my Prince Charming - he has been so wonderful to me since the day we met and he has taken such good care of me since the surgery. I am so lucky that I met him and that I'm going to marry him and I'm so thankful that MagicMe raised such a wonderful son.

Gotta bump us up to page one!

He had become a wonderful man. It wasn't always easy but I'd like to think that I had something to do with how he turned out. He has a big heart! But the best thing in his life has been finding you. I don't know what stars aligned but I will always be greatful that they brought him you.

BYW - It's been strange not having you around but I'm sure your Mom loves the extra time!
