Frigging Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Okay, it's cold out there. It was somewhere between -21C and -24C this morning, and it's supposed to go down to around -27C tonight - which is around -16.6F. As I mentioned on Judy's blog, I like the way it sounds in F better. -16.6 has a much more balmy sound to it than -27. Yeah, they're the same, but I'm keeping my illusions, thank you very much!
The saving grace today was that it wasn't very windy, although I find that is almost dangerously deceptive. It doesn't feel too bad until you've been outside for a couple of minutes, then all of a sudden you realize that you can't feel any of your limbs. And heaven help any bits of skin that you've left exposed! At least when it's windy you know just how damned cold it is the minute any part of you - exposed or not - peeks out the door.
On a more heartwarming note - to me, at least - I am expecting a nice little delivery in the next few days. I bought a digital camera on sale for a VERY decent price, and I'm looking forward to it's arrival! I've been wanting a digital camera for a long time, but did not feel that it was worth paying a couple of hundred dollars for when I have a perfectly good 35mm camera already. However, this one was such a steal of a price, especially considering the bells and whistles it comes with, that I decided it was worth it. I've never seen one like this for the price it's being offered at, and it's from a reputable company, so... Fingers crossed that it's decent! I don't have a bad feeling about it, although I must admit I am actually feeling guilty about it, which is probably silly, since it's not a huge expense. Mind you, I just finished paying some bills, so that's more than likely where the guilt comes in... sigh... Of course, I also just started back to work today (one week of holidays was definitely NOT enough), and I started my period last night - joy of joys, and what fabulous timing! Ugh! So that probably accounts for some of the guilty feelings too... Oh well, once the camera arrives and I get to play with it, I'll probably feel much better!
Mind you, I'm also feeling guilty because I haven't used my 35mm as much as I'd like to either. Although I have a feeling that the digital will get me more involved in working with the 35mm again - odd as that may sound. But there's no way in hell I'm subjecting my precious Canon 35mm to the frigid elements that are going on out there - I shudder to think of the consequences! So perhaps the timing with the digital is opportune - it's easier to keep warm (it will fit inside my coat, whereas the Canon definitely wouldn't!), so it's easier to use outside in these less than hospitable temperatures!
Well, I think I'm going to head off to the couch and cuddle up with my puppies - they're like little furnaces, and I could use their extra heat right now! Besides, I'm feeling distinctly whiny after my first day back at work, and I doubt anyone (well, Judy really, since she's the only one that reads this!) wants to listen to me whine any further! So good night, and sweet dreams!

Well we could fix that.......want me to link you on my blog?? Then you could "whine" at ALL of us! LOL
Have a good sleep tonight! **smoochies**
Sure, you can link it if you want to! I was going to put a link to yours on mine, but I haven't gotten around to playing with all that stuff yet! However, once I do, I'll put you in here! Have a good day!
Consider it done, you have a great day too Pammie!
This could be the start of a BUSY blog for ya! Our Mystkate (Kate) lives in Sheffield, Pam! I told her she had to show me the sights when I win the lottery and come there to find Sav.... er, I mean, visit ! Anyway Pammie if you don't have the time for tons of visitors I'm sure people would understand if you don't get linked up on their blogs.....but if you're able, "let 'er rip"!!
Love ya,
Jude
Oh and Kate, actually we're about as far north as Sheffield is.....fairly close anyway! I think the North Pole just likes sendin' crap our way more...
LOL
Wow! Hello there, and thanks for stopping by! And thanks for linking to me, Judy! Very sweet of you! And I don't mind if anyone puts a link on their blogs! I'm Pam, Judy's sister, by the way - although I'm sure you probably already know that!
My blog isn't very fancy at the moment, but I intend to get started soon on gussying things up a bit! Including getting links to other blogs on here! Now, let me remind you, Judy, that I said I INTEND to get started soon. But you know what they say about good intentions! muahahahahahaha!
No, I don't live at the North Pole - although sometimes I wonder! And it's still awfully damned cold today, so my feelings about the weather are still the same. I hear it's supposed to warm up considerably by the end of the week - fingers crossed!
Ah! So you're the 'good' sister! Glad to see you posting and putting your blog to use, Pam! Welcome to the land of blogging! Lots of pretty good people here...well, I HAVE heard to watch out for that one called "Jude". I hear she's something else! *wink!
As you can see Pam, Debs has gotten to REALLY know me.....LOL
Yep, I'm the "good" sister, Deb! *wink* Thanks for dropping by! Sounds like you've gotten to know Judy pretty well... hehehehehehehe - or maybe that should be muahahahahahaha!
(ducks quickly) Um, just kidding Jude! *innocent grin*
