A little whining

I was up at 4am to make it to the airport.
I'm in Maine again.
It is raining - I'm tired of rain.
It is cold - I'm so over cold weather.
I'm sick. I kept fighting if off before we left for Key West, but it got to me. I sound like a 13 year old boy in the midst of puberty and have a cough that won't let me sleep.

And oh yeah, I had to call the front desk to let them know that my toilet was clogged.

Yep, just an ordinary Tuesday.

***Edited to add***
There was absolutely nothing that should have caused that toilet to clog other than the fact that it was previously clogged.

Two, two, 2


I'm in the hotel restaurant eating my veggie frittata and working. If you haven't tried a frittata, I would recommend it. They can be made with egg substitute & use just a small amount of olive oil for the veggies. They're so good to me at the hotel - they'll switch out the hashbrowns for fresh fruit and there is an amazing nut oat toast! For a frittata recipe which looks yummy, check this out. I've already had my early morning (5am) workout and feel great!

As I was sitting here waiting for my food, I watched the local forecast. Today's high will be 5, which, when factoring the wind chill will make it feel -14. Currently, it is -3 with a wind chill that makes it feel as if it is -20. What in the world am I doing here? The best part of the weather forecasts is that you can check out what tomorrow will be like, see what your weekend plans could be affected by, etc.

Two. Thursday will be 2. Two. So with the inevitable wind chill I am looking at -18. Lovely. I can't wait to get home!!!

A totally random post...


I'm getting ready to go to Vermont for a week. Quick, look at your calendar - what month is it? Yep, it is January and I'm going to Vermont. Where there is a weather advisory for flights. Where it has already snowed - several times. Where the high at this moment is 4 (but it feels like -6). Vermont, where the highest high while I'm there is forecast for 29, while the lowest low is forecast for -16. I've been in August when the highs are in the high 70's - it is wonderful then. I'm not sold on this cold, cold weather, though. I'll definitely let you all know how cold it is. :)

I'm going to be super, extremely busy the next two months with work. We're going through a migration of our systems and as I am in Learning and Development, I'm playing a huge part in it. It will be great for me experience wise, but probably very tiring. It may also mean, shorter blog posts and shorter comments on your blogs. I'll still read, for sure - what would I do without all you ladies?

A follow up to my post about my mom recently. All her tests came back normal. She thinks the doctor was being overly cautious. After talking to her further about why she went to the doctor in the first place, Mr. Potts and I think that she is probably having anxiety attacks. She's dealing with so much right now, so any extra prayers would be so appreciated. :)

We took the sweetest girl in the world (my niece) to see The Tale of Despereaux today. She's been excited to go to the movies with us & to have her own popcorn & soda! It was a really cute movie, so if you have any little ones in your life, I recommend it.

Also, had to let you know that Shasta over at Bergdorf Blondes is having a giveaway for her 200th post. She is super fabulous & posts daily pictures of her outfit of the day. Definitely go tell her "Hello" & share some super bloggy love.

Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend - what did you do?
