Someone Please Remind Me Why It Is I Freaking Live Here!!!!

Yes, I know that Alaska is the Last Frontier and one of the most beautiful places, blah, blah, blah......and it is......most of the time. HOWEVER, there are times (usually in the horrible month of January) when most of us Alaskans wonder "Why in the hell am I living here?!?!?!"

Just so you can see WHY we might be pondering this question, here's a picture of the temperature at the Fred Meyer store:






Yes. I know. Yes, it does say -55*. Yes, that is 55 degrees BELOW zero........now you understand. And the reason that it looks all fuzzy and cloudy around the sign? Ice fog. This is my Public Service Announcement to all of you dear people in Blogland....don't come to Alaska in January. You are welcome.

Did Ya Miss Me?

Sorry y'all. For those of who've been checking back over and over and over again to see if I've written something else (Lindsey and Kelly, especially).....I've been uh.......busy. Life has been happening. Anyway, since I'm still a little busy, I thought I'd just leave you with this thought of the day:

Thought for the Day

Some people are like Slinkies...
Not really good for anything,
but they still bring a smile to your face
when you push them down a flight of stairs
