Weekend roundup

Hello friends hope you had a very nice weekend here is my roundup!

I am sure by now we are all aware of the Artic weather the whole country with the exception of the west coast. Which this weekend had a 6.5 earthquake in Ferndale, CA close to San Fransico, thank god no injuries. And so in Florida it has been no different freezing tempetures have caused for all kind of weather headlines & news. Like the frozen iguanas that are literally falling out of trees in a state of hybernation. And the gentleman who I am sure wasn't aware but decided to pick up the frozen iguanas, and put them in his stationwagon. While in the car these reptiles warmed up all started coming to life and running around the car, thank god no harm was done.

There was also snow reported in Orlando on Saturday and the news even showed a mini snowmen in ocala. Really, come on now Florida is best known for Hurricanes not snow, sleet and snowmen. What is going on with mother nature?

While I am not thrilled about the cold weather and am so happy it's coming to an end. The weather has been a great excuse to do nothing at all this weekend which has been great for my wallet.

Saturday morning I was greeted with a true NYC day it was dark, rainy and bitterly cold. After breakfast I did some house cleaning. It was so cold and rainy outside that the windows where freezing. "C" wanted to go out she loves the cold weather, I'm convinced she is from Alaska. I informed her we weren't going out nor taking the boys out in that cold. Considering that they could get really sick. We spent the rest of day in front of the tube watching movies and the Food Network which is one of our favorite channels.

Later in the evening we braved the freezing weather for some hot, greasy and delicious pizza. And for dessert some homemade hot chocolate with marshmallows - yum. Dinner and a movie at home with the boys was a great way to end this night.

Sunday was another day of cold minues the rain. I wanted to spend the day home catching up on my reading. But the boys wanted us to take them bike riding on the trail by the house. We had promised them we would take them on saturday, but the rain ruined the chances. I told we would go in the afternoon if it got warmer, and so I spent the morning catching up on my reading. (I am proud to inform that I am almost done with Breaking Dawn). Later after lunch "C" and the boys where developing cabin fever and didn't want to be home. The boys couldn't go riding cause it was still in the 40's and the wind chills in the 30's. So we decided to run some errands and visit some family.Later we came home and I made a nice hearty dinner (Rice, Red Beans & Pork Chops) and prepared for Monday Madness. After dinner it was time for Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters.

The weather for Monday was worse than Sunday, too bad I couldn't call in frozen.

In conclusion the uneventful weekend was much better than expected. Thanks to the freezing temps rather than going out we stayed home and enjoyed family time.

Update - While editing this post this evening I was listening to the news about Haiti. My thoughts and prayers go out to Haiti in the wake of these tragic events. Please take a moment to appreciate your loved ones. And give thanks for everything you have.
