Good Fricking Freezing Friday Morning, everyone! Holy bejesus, it’s cold out there! It’s currently 4º here in the Windy City and when you add our famous wind chill, the feel-like temperature is -15º! So here I sit with my fuzzy slippers and comfy blankie, drinking a cup o’ Joe. Why don’t you join me for a cup or two?
If we were having coffee, I would tell you it’s only February 2nd I’ve already had enough of winter. The weather has been all over the place this past month and I’m pretty much over it. And didn’t Punxsutawney Phil and Woodstock Willie see their dang shadows this morning. That’s right, six more weeks of winter. Happy Freaking Groundhog Day.
Over coffee I would tell you that my spring business travel has started early this year and I’m exhausted already. Three trips in three weeks might be exciting if I were in my 20s, but at this age, the thrill is gone. Don’t get me wrong…I’m happy for the business, but I’m getting too old for this! And unfortunately, I still haven’t won the lottery.
If we were having coffee I would tell you I saw this in a public restroom yesterday and was just like, WTF. How the hell would they get in and out of the stall???
As I pour another cup, I have to tell you, I’m still struggling with getting the extra weight off. Granted, I haven’t been trying that hard, but still. Maybe that sign above the toilet was meant for me.
And last, over our final cup of coffee, I would tell you I’m super excited to be working with a few new brands this year. I can’t kiss and tell just yet, but stay tuned for some fun discounts and giveaways!
What would you share with me over coffee? Yay or nay on this crazy winter weather? Do you buy into the Groundhog Day predictions?
I’m linking up with Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date and with Rachel and Lacey and Meranda for the Friday Five 2.0!
The wind is really howling out there over here today, too, and I’m very happy I can stay warm and cozy at home.
My husband used to travel a lot for work. He doesn’t anymore. Luckily he still enjoys travel for fun! But we’re running out of miles . . .
The travel is fun in the beginning. Until it’s not.
I am so over winter too! Spring can not get here soon enough.
It will be here before we know it…I hope!
I would tell you I love the layout of this blog post ! I hear you about the travel. I am based in Botswana but this week I have been in Namibia for work. Have had a good time, but yeah would much rather have been home this week to be honest. Three trips in three weeks, now that is intense!
Thank you so much! I’d always rather be home, but we have to go where the work is!
Total agreement, winter can pack up and leave. We’ve had our white Christmas…it’s time to move on. WE have the same temps in Iowa today…#YUCK
YUCK is right!
Girl, you and me BOTH are over winter. I feel like this has been the longest winter we’ve had in many years. I’m so over it!!!!!
Not that we’re getting old or anything…
That is such a strange toilet sign! What is going on in that bathroom??
Totally made me laugh!
The winter weather doesn’t bother me too much as long as it’s 20-30+ degrees. Once it drops into single digits…nope, I’m ready for that ish to be done, lol.
20 – 30 degrees would be glorious! It’s those bitter single-digit temps and windchills that get to me.
As if the groundhogs were going to predict anything different. This winter has sucked. Big time. Praying for it to end quickly. And to take the flu with it.
It has sucked, that’s for sure. I heard today that the flu typically peaks in February. UGH.
I know that many people were upset with the groundhog today, lol! I had a feeling that it would be 6 more weeks of winter just because of how cold it’s been this winter already!
I know it’s crazy, but we can always hope!
Dang groundhog – I’m so done with this winter! OK that sign in the restroom is just crazy!
That sign just totally cracked me up!
Seems to me we always have 6 more weeks of winter after this point. I can’t get the weight off either. That sign is crazy.
I’m hoping that stupid groundhog is wrong!
I am fighting the weight battle myself! It sure shows up easier than it goes away.
I am completely over snow for sure.
It sounds like a lot of us are in the same boat.
My first business of the year isn’t for a few more weeks, but it’s a doozie, with four cities in five days. I bet that sign is a safety thing for that bar – probably some OSHA rule that the sign has to be there. 😉
Wow, four cities in five days? I’ll stop complaining now.
I’m ready for spring right about now. :'(
I’ve definitely never seen that on a public restroom before. Kinda makes me wonder what happened for them to have to put it up. o_o
Who knows. And it was in the stall at a Children’s hospital!
That is a weird sign. I’m upping my nutrition this month too, I need to get rid of some fluff.
Fluff is what I need to get rid of!
Oh yicks, I could NOT deal with that kind of temps! I’m such a Florida girl. 🙂
That sign in the restroom is so weird and random. I mean, what the heck? I know I’d be thinking some of the same thoughts. Then again, I’m one of those people who wonders about the craziest things. Haha!
The older I get, the more I think I need to migrate to your part of the country!
Seems like Phil the groundhog has had the same prediction for the last several years. Although, I can’t really complain about our winter compared to you guys …I’m still over it too. Bring on Spring and sunshine!!!
I really don’t mind the winter unless we get those arctic blast temperatures…which we have. I agree…bring on spring!
I am ready for winter to be over, too! I miss consistent workouts outside.
I’m with you. I’d much rather play outside than inside!
At first I read it as stay tuned for fun discounts and GETaways. I was like whoo hoo! GIVEaways will be fun, too. LOL
Nothing to complain about, but this winter has been a little weird here in Vegas, too. Not necessarily colder than usual, just weird.
That toilet sign cracked me up!
Haha well a free GETaway would be nice!
I too am more than over this winter. Why did the silly groundhog have to go and see his shadow?!?!?
I really need to move to a Caribbean island!
I feel like we’re still waiting on winter to arrive here in Colorado! I know you all have had it a lot worse on your side of the Mississippi. Spring will be here before we know it!
Consider yourself lucky, although I’m sure you’d love the snow!
I am SO OVER winter! I can’t take the cold and the snow any longer! I shoveled three times in a 12 period yesterday/today!
UGH. We’ve got all the snow coming down today. And it’s absolutely freezing!
I am so over winter too lady! And it has not even been too bad for use Texans!
That sign in a little weird! But I guess good to know?
Hope you have a great month!
Well it sounds like everyone is over winter already! C’mon, spring!
OMG I’m done with winter too. and it’s not even that bad here. We are actually heading to Poland tonight. I don’t know what on EARTH I was thinking – Poland in February!!!! UGH.
I am struggling with the weight thing too. I try so hard and peter out after about 4 days… then I have a day off the wagon and then I repeat again. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever see 70KG again. Sigh.
Oh, have fun in Poland! We are going in September. Where are you going? We are looking at Warsaw and Krakow.
I would love to have a cup of coffee with you! I hope you will shed those extra pounds sooner than expected. 🙂
Thanks on both counts! The weight loss is slow-going, but I’m not being as aggressive as I should be!
If running proves to be an issue, then it might be wise to discover alternative exercises such as circuit training, weight training, swimming or cycling.
