Currently experiencing one of the coldest winters on record in New Mexico! It was 11 degrees on my drive into work today. 11 degrees I can take when it is in Cleveland or Iowa - well, even then, that is COLD! There is also a gas shortage in the state of New Mexico, so they have asked everyone to turn down (like by 10 degrees or more) their heat, and there have been rolling brown/black outs throughout the state. There is simply not enough natural gas to heat every one's house during this extreme cold spell, which is very sad! They have set up shelters throughout the area to take in those who have been hit by the shortage.
Makes me thankful for the big fleece blanket my mom and grandma made, my husband's over sized and oh so warm sweats and my puppies! Og is doing her best to make sure that mommy and the cockeye stay nice and toasty warm. Oh and Mike does a pretty wonderful job of keeping us warm too!
It has been a very long week - so I am very much looking forward to the weekend - which I know will inevitably go too fast and I will be sitting here on Monday talking about a too short weekend and the start of another work week.
Tonight will be spent snuggled with my two favorite furrbabies, blanket and crappy TV...Pretty much sounds like the perfect night! There is a Thunderbirds game tonight - so Mike won't be home until later but we will do our best to keep the couch nice and warm so he can clime in and snuggle with us when he does get home.
Lunch time workout and a meeting at 3:00 out in Rio Rancho (with the AGM of the Santa Ana Star Center...I have the biggest crush on him) which means I need to get some work done this morning so that I don't have to spend my weekend doing any of it.
Happy Friday family and friends...stay warm!
