be careful what you wish you...

well we wished for cold weather & it has been delivered above & beyond any of our expectations.   this is copy & pasted straight off of http://www.weather.com/ for our county.  i find it so amusing. there is also a hard freeze weather warning alert in full affect until tomorrow morning. & it's been like this all week.    

**... WIND CHILL ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING TO 10 AM EST SATURDAY...

**THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN JACKSONVILLE HAS ISSUED A WIND CHILL ADVISORY... WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING TO 10 AM EST SATURDAY.
**ANOTHER BLAST OF ARCTIC AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA TODAY AS COLD FRONT ADVANCES ACROSS THE AREA. TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO DROP INTO THE MID TO UPPER 20S EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. THE COMBINATION OF VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND SUSTAINED NORTHWEST WINDS NEAR 10 MPH WILL DROP WIND CHILL VALUES INTO THE UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20S FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. THUS... A WIND CHILL ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED.
**PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN. IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS... MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A HAT AND GLOVES.

another happy list

finally getting to the post office one last time.  until next time anyway.

forgiveness for being late. a bad habit i really need to nip in the bud. like really bad.

giving zane & his dad a "boys night" while i stay with ozzie,  my bosses dog.

this girl named heather armstrong who always makes me laugh out loud (literally).  her recent blog post, "Beginning the year with a bang;" http://www.dooce.com/) on her anxiety disorder & panic attack(s) & hormones made me cry. (yes, in the library)  but it's still on my happy list because she made me feel normal. 

ordering my dad's x-mas present. his birthday is in february. i'm amazed at myself.

zane inviting me to share half of his free sandwhich during his lunch break.
