My Mercury is not whack!

Attention:

Today in Fairbanks Alaska, it got up to 90 degrees.  And right now, at 10:22 pm it is around 80.

I'm very hot, tired, uncomfortable and grouchy.  I have to have a fan on to sleep
And I stayed in my dress all day because it was cooler than trying to wear pants

All this is eveidence that my personal thermometer is back on track.

California's goosbumps at 70 degrees was just a temporary glitch in the system.

Please go about your day as normal, but if tomorrow's forcast is hot-plan your wardrobe accordingly.

Thanks you-

Not much

So, as you may or maynot have noticed-not much has been happening.  Sorry if my posts are boring, thats just the pattern of my days lately.  Except the occasional adventure.

Excitement in my life consists of the small and simple, like bouncy balls made of rubber bands-or the little brother and naptime adventures.  He is just too funny!
Check it out:

Where's Baby?

I hadn't heard him get out, and he was shut in the room so when looking around-I was relived to find this

he really is under there

Isn't he just too cute?  

I love how he ALWAYS curls up with his bum in the air

I told you I'm easily ammused

So:

Normal Rubber band size:

 well the ones at work are like ten times as big as that and so they're completely usless and just get in the way-so today, I finally found a solution:

It was SO much FUN!  I just ties a few in knots and bound them together with the others-and when it bounced, it had this awesome backspin effect that was just mezmirizing.  I can't tell you how awesome it was. You'll just have to take my word for it.  Or, come visit me at work!  :D

Alaska Fun

So, I've lived in Alaska my whole life.  Born on Ft Wainwright, and when I was one, we moved into my current address-but this winter was the first time I caught on camera the simple wonders of winter weather-thanks to Travis's help.  I was going through pics the other day, and these just had to go on the blog.  All you out of towners enjoy!

We went For a walk with Travis' dog, we were probably out in the elements a good hour or more.  It was a lovely walk!

My Eyelashes kept sticking together! And my facial muscles are kinda numb so my mouth looks funny!

Trying to talk , note the frost on the eyebrows, upper lip, cheeks

Frost queen!

Its a new month

So, to finnish off July-I had a crummy week and a crummy attitude.  But, it is now a new month and a new week (on the same day-I always love when the 1st of any month is on a Sunday) and I'm determined to have a better attitude.  Life goes on.  Plus, the fair starts friday-and thats always fun fun fun!  And I should have my textbooks within the next 10 days-and Travis gets home some time soon.......don't know when but it will be soon!
