Buying Time

As I said in an earlier blog post, Winter is out and Spring is in. Warm weather is here to stay for a few months so there is no need to worry that much about being cold in bed. But, this is the best time of the year to think about electric blankets.
Why, you ask? If the weather is getting warmer why think about an electric blanket? Because now is the time to buy them, while they have gone down in price. Just the same as the Winter is a great time to buy summer fans and things, Spring is a great time to buy something that you will need next winter like a nice electric blanket that will keep you warm and cozy on those blistery cold Winter nights.
Don't be left out in the cold next Winter, go and check out all the great blankets that are on sale right now!

Crazy Weather

Spring is here and with it comes the strangest weather of the year. Yesterday and the day before were hot, almost summer-like, with temperatures around 90.
Today it say it is 70 degrees outside but I find that hard to believe. It is windy and cold out there. I know this because I went outside to wait for a cab. I looked out the window and it looked nice enough so I skipped my jacket. That was a mistake.
Sitting out by the sidewalk waiting I just got cold, then colder. Finally I gave up and came back into the house where it was nice and warm and waited inside for the cab.
On the ride to cash my check and back even the cab driver grumbled about how strange the weather is. He told me he had just yesterday turned the heater in his house off and set up the air conditioning instead. Now today is cold and he is thinking perhaps he better light the heater back up.
I never turn the pilot off on my heater because I have lived here too long to not know better. Spring may have sprung but we are not done with the cold weather completely and today is the proof of that.
I am looking forward to Summer and it cannot come fast enough to suit me. I'd rather be too hot that be cold.

May Is Not Good

While the Pirates did well in April, May has not been kind to them. To put it mildly, they suck. The bullpen pitchers are not doing their jobs well at all. Probably a good thing I am not in control, they'd all be getting bus tickets to Indianapolis and Triple-A ball LOL
It's getting warmer here. Feels like summer already, with the temps today in the 100 range. I feel very sorry for my two dogs, both of which are black. they look miserable :(
Oh! I almost forgot! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!

Is It Spring Yet?

We have had a few days of warmth, but today was cold and windy and awful. I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind, is it Spring yet or not?
Feeling much better today as far as that cold goes, which is a good thing. I went bowling today so I cannot be too sick LOL I bowled very well the first two games then completely fell apart. I did end up with a nice series and we won two games out of three so I cannot complain about that either LOL
My back is killing me right now, even with the pain meds I took, but I'm sure I will be okay after I get some rest.
I do hope you all have excellent weather for your weekend and can go outside and play :)

Do I, Really?

The past two weeks has been rather gloomy here. We've had rain, snow (twice), hail and sleet. The one comment that people like to say? We need the rain.
Now, I live in the desert, a place that gets an average of four inches of rainper year and thrives just fine. No, it doesn't keep your lawn green nor a lot of trees either. But, it survives just fine without much rain.
My answer to these people is that perhaps they should move back to wherever they came from and be happy there with lots of rain and greenery. This is the desert, it is brown and beautiful to those of us that actually like the desert. It does NOT need rain, and neither do I :)

Say what?

It is raining here. Outside the bowling alley for a quick smoke, another bowler and I talked about the rain.
Me: Rain? Too much rain.
Him: You need the rain.
Me: I live in the desert.
Him: That's why you need the rain.
Say what? If it's a desert, it does not require a lot of water to survive, it has managed to survive all these years without it, why does it need rain now? LOL People here are strange!

Want To Get Away

I hate Winter, I really do. I am not a cold weather person and never have been. Guess you can say that's why i love the desert, it gets cold here and even snows once in awhile, but it certainly is a lot warmer than say, New England! But, still, as I sit here typing and my hands are cold, I think about getting away from here for warmer climes. But, rather than turn on the heater, I'd rather sit here and type and dream about vacation rentals.
I found this lovely site called rentalo that has lots and lots of vacation rentals in such exotic places as Barcelona, Paris and Rome. They also of course offer places a little closer to home such as South Lake Tahoe and Puerto Vallarta. Tahoe is not on my mind as I know darned good and well it gets cold there, they even have skiing close by. Brr. Now, Puerto Vallarta would be much better, sunshine, beaches, girls in bikinis. My kind of vacation place :)
