Troy and I just went for a short walk outside, because it’s NOT COLD! It’s like it’s not even winter. It was nice to feel a warmer breeze, wet with rain, rather than the bitterness of ten-degree wind.
Of course, the ground is squishy and disgusting, and I can say with perfect honesty that I thought I was sinking into my own lawn when I stepped off the porch.
YUCK.
I want to move to Arizona. I want to live where it’s warm ALL THE TIME (except when it’s hot as hell), and more importantly, NOT VERY WET. *WAHH*
I took those a year ago. It’s nice to reminisce… even if it DOES lead me to blogging a whine about living in the cold, frozen tundra of the north. Heh.
In other, non-whiny news, THANK YOU all for your responses to yesterday’s new kind of posting. I am very encouraged by the reaction to it, and I am definitely looking forward to this coming Sunday’s post, which I am already plotting. W00t!

I know it’s bizarre this warm weather. I might actually walk the dog today!
Oh, I would rather be there right now too, than in Kuwait :)
I love those pictures!

@clickmom, the novelty has SO worn off for me already. I am now paranoid that my house is going to sink into the ever-softening mud. :p
@Nicole, hi! Thanks for coming over! I miss being in the warm places I was when I took those pictures.
We moved about a year ago from Phoenix to Southern New Mexico (my hometown). It’s about 30 degrees cooler here than in Phoenix, but it’s still warmer than I remember it (in New Mexico).
It is odd celebrating Christmas when it’s 75* out. The number one reason for moving from Phoenix…the weather. We were there for 6 years and I could not take another summer.
@Trysha, that’s the one thing that makes me wonder if I really WOULD love Arizona all year as much as I think I would – the extreme summer heat.
Phoenix is great if you like running from your air-conditioned car, to your air-conditioned place of work, back to your air-conditioned car to the air-conditioned grocery store, back to your air-conditioned car to your air-conditioned home.
When we first bought our house a tube on the a/c has a rip in it and it was leaking freon. We did bikhram yoga in our living room. (Luckily the kids were visiting Grandma that week)
I personally think those pictures would be better with a nice coat of SNOW in them!! I hate this weather in January. It is an un-natural state for Michigan to be in. (state as in “state of being”, not to be confused with “united state”)
@RHM, AUGH, no, not snow in Arizona! Not snow in my vision of heaven!
Of course, if it’s your vision of heaven, maybe you’d like more photos of the mountains – I heard it does get slightly powdery there from time to time, in the upper elevations.
But I sympathize with you on the weather right now. Michigan SUCKS when there is no snow when there is supposed to be snow. It’s just… cold and gross everywhere, and ugly, because this state was not meant to be frozen without a nice coating of forgiving white stuff all over it.
