Word of the Day

Zizzasterous - All hell has broken loose; beyond disasterous.

It froze last night. I mean it REALLY froze. The ice in my fountain was so thick that it didn't melt until well past noon. Although I did cover my plants last night, they really don't look all that good. I can only hope that they'll be able to recover. It was 24°F when I got up this morning. It's supposed to freeze again tonight. I didn't even bother removing the sheets. The temperature outside right now is 46°F. Cold. We're supposed to have two more nights of this...at least.

HTP and I took #1 Son to the airport this morning. Afterwards, HTP and I decided to treat ourselves to breakfast at Denny's. Don't knock Denny's. They make a decent breakfast. We were going to try for a brunch somewhere but decided that we really didn't need brunch. So, we went to Denny's and called it brunch.
