my karinajean.com blog was all fish sandwiches and work minutia before, now it’s motorcycles and accidental stepmommy blogging. who’dathunk?

Ok, self? Please note that bedtime is 930 not just so you get enough sleep, but because that’s when the heat kicks down to 55deg. Brrr.

it’s so creepy: the drone of snowmobiles around my neighborhood is like a 20th (DEFINITELY not 21st) century version of wolf packs howling.

I’m pretty sure we will need either a chainsaw or a flame thrower to chip out the mailbox enough to start receiving mail at home again.

just finished the writeup for our spring 2010 motorcycle trip. 11 states in 11 days! 2500 miles on a drz! http://karinajean.com/wp/?p=769

Aw, I’m trying to dial in and attend this conference remotely but the phone on their end isn’t working. So disappointing!

the TRUE tragedy of missing Tampa: I shaved my legs! the excessive hair may have been an important component of my mardi gras costume! gone!

I tried and tried, but I couldn’t get to tampa for my conference. Instead of enjoying 70 deg weather I went home and shoveled the driveway.

watching @mikegrundy look for free books on amazon for his kindle. I’m sure he’ll start reading romances soon to pad his 2011 book totals!

YAY! extra fun time at dinner last night. RT @paulabuzzard heading for shabu shabu with @karinajean and @mikegrundy ‘YAY’ as kari would say

me to @mikegrundy: I’m so grouchy right now. are you grouchy? you seem grouchy too. Him: no. you’re just grouchy. #ohaipoopcoloredglasses

while we are only enjoying about 4 inches of accumulation, the kids are enjoying a 2 hour delay so I am enjoying a work-from-home day.

in the last few hours our snow forecast has gone from 3-6 to 6-10. um. whoot?

.@barackobama just referenced the ASCE report card on infrastructure that no one knows about! #SOTU http://www.infrastructurereportcard.org/

On the one hand my 2 hour trip to work *totes* justifies all prior and future snowy work at home decisions. On the other, 2 hrs, jerks! Ugh!

I’m fairly charitably minded towards lots of bad driving, but if you don’t clean all the snow off of your car I probs think you’re a jerk.

Good: my hybrid battery thawed out! Sorta-meh: stuck behind the snow plow on my way to work. Slow, but safer, a slight catch-22.

Ohai surprise 2 inches of snow!

So these freezingly freezing temps may have done in my hybrid battery-gotta do some research on gen1 insight IMA. http://twitpic.com/3t3vbs

Ohai, zero degreesF. It’s been a while.
