Trif

seems the -12 F did not agree with it last night. It is up to 64 in the house now though.

I woke up shivering during a recent cold snap. Furnace was OK but the thermostat had given up the ghost during the night. Fortunately a pretty quick fix.

Sounds like the same front we had last night. Subzero temps do not make Mondays any easier. *refills coffee*

I need coffee! Although I would like ice in mine. I am sure you can spare some.

Extra strong for me please- our temps went from 58 yesterday, to a high of 19 to day :(

No begging required, happy to fill your cup!

-sets out milk

-sets out sweeteners

Oh, breakfast heaven.

Thanks Trif!

I'll have about a gallon, thanks Trif!

That is great! *hands over hot choco*

Thanks!

T<---sips chocolate---<<<

Gets out the hair dryer.

Hope you warm up Trif.

-Readies for Monday morning coffee crowd

How about the Monday evening one?

I have an inspection coming next Monday. Wish I had the energy to clean and mop! I will do it but it won't be easy.

Brings extra KitKats for everyone.

*contemplates marshmallows and water combination* Nope, don't get it. *downs martini*

-sets out more marshmallows and snags a kit kat

-pours more rye

There you are! Glad to see you out and about.

You sure you don't work for the same people I do? *returns to rum*

Always a plus!!

Suddenly seeing the muppets singing "Tropical Heatwave"

Lol! I'm thinking maybe about starting to take a winter vacation to go visit Rose - at least, as soon as I win the lottery! ;)

What we need is air exchangers from Austrailia to Canada/NA and back they would have killer AC we would have free heat!

So awful. How are things today? Any better?

It is fine now, thankfully did not break, the heat tape seems to have helped at least that much.

Good to hear.

I had a hard time convincing my hubby that running the water works, but it does.

Yes it does work, I hate to waste the water but in these temps. Hit 50 below chill factor last night.

yep, here too. Everything closed.

-sets out danish

Muffins?

F now mind, supposed to be tonight again. Hope the downspouts are strong enough to carry the weight of the icicles, I so do not want to go out and break them off just yet.

One of the reasons I went for a condo instead of a house. Winter maintenance bites in this part of the country.

On the bright side, it's the perfect weather to stay inside playing video games. xD

I think I will stick to the tropical rain.

7 entire degrees F this morning. I did not want to get out of the shower but when I did I put on three layers of clothing. Hah, good thing I do not have anyone wanting to get to any parts of me. Hah.

:D

LOL it just doesn't seem like the year should be over already lol

2013 did go quickly, didn't it.

-Pours self a triple and draws a draft

-curls up in corner

*settles in with a bottle of wine* Much better here than listening to my neighbor's party.

stumbles in already had a few at the bar down the road * hic *

Gotta keep you entertained?

Day early! Ah well, I can always use a glass of wine :)

Gotta start early! I am already at new years eve. ;)

Brings Vienna sausages, mustard and potato salad.

Anyone that wants to help set up for the party, drinks are gratis while we are working.

<grin>

Oh goodie! Sets out paper hats and squeakers.

How about some nice balloons? They are great for the new year.

Snakes, Rose? *snags the rum, contemplates a glass*

I can't think of a single context that I could spin snakes into a positive.

Snakes. It must be a new shot that all those kids are doing. Bartender, I would like anything with vodka please. I've had a couple already. so you can go easy.

Hah, thanks for thinking of that. Hopefully I did not hurt anything getting up there in the first place.

<grin>

Oi! Nicholas get down from that tree! Not sure if you remember that one, so Trif! Stop skating on that roof!

*breaks out camcorder to record the show*

The eve of Christmas eve party is on!

T<---sits in corner mixing drinks---<<<

In addition to the regular offerings, tonight we have steaming chicken soup, and assorted other broths available to beat the winters illness'

Yum!Sounds like a few could use it.

Brings along the lemon and ginger spiked apple juice.

Has some of that chicken soup. Yumm wonders if there is any hot cider.

Welcome both.

-refreshes beverage pitchers

I'll have some of that cider too!

Cider is good! looks for cinnamon to add in.

I woke up this morning and the cabin was cold but I wasn't two dogs and two cats in my bed, my fire went out I told them all to stay put started the fire and climbed back and bed someone knocked over the electric heater thats the back up heat in the bedroom. I am glad we had a snow day.

Hah on the icicle. I have cracked the front door and looked out but that is it. I wish I could have crawled back into the warm bed but once I am up that is it.

Me too Trif, I got a fire in the fire place and hot cider, and hot tunes on the stereo so I am comfy now.
