freezing in Palm Bay
So my fingers are freezing and I'm wearing a sweatshirt. I decided to check out www.weather.com because I thought CERTAINLY we're in the 50's. Yeah right! It's 68 degrees right now.
Last night I tried to begin reading Recruited, the Alias prequel. A student of mine let me borrow it because we share a HUGE obsession with the show. And this book, much to my dismay, is a piece of crap. Here is the excerpt from page 6 that made me throw the book across the room:
"Good girl," Francie said approvingly. "Now, are you going in your hula skirt or that flowered sarong?"
"I don't know, the sarong, I guess."
"Excellent. So can I borrow your hula skirt to wear over my bikini? Please?" Francie asked, raising a hopeful eyebrow.
"Hey, I like the sound of that," Baxter observed, turning back around.
"Oh!" Francie exclaimed, pointing at Baxter. "And then we can all three wear matching leis! Won't that be cool?"
I didn't get past page 6. J.J., how come you didn't ask me to write the "original prequel novel based on the hit tv series..."? I would have done so much better.
I will leave you with a fact that might gross some of you out. I'm sorry. Chloe and Saffie have two litter boxes. One is private, with a lid. The other is just a litter pan. WELL, my little kitties are brilliant. They consistently reserve their number 2's for the covered, lidded box. Number 1's happen in the open pan. That just makes me happy and so I thought I'd share.

68 degrees is freezing then huh? :-) I guess we won't have you come north when it's just above actual freezing, raining, and really windy. Those are some of the worst days because if it was a touch colder the rain would be snow instead. For the record, I don't consider it officially cold until the temp. hits single digits and below.
Matt(who once went outdoors when it was -50 below with windchill and thought, "this isn't that bad" :0) )
I'm still trying to figure out how an eyebrow can be hopeful...
Colby, I did say it was crap, didn't I? Well, crap was implied when I mentioned how I HURLED THE FREAKING BOOK ACROSS THE ROOM. :)
