The frigid cold has come to an end, thank goodness. I'm craving tacos; seems there have been many posts mentioning them and I feel I could eat 10 right now for breakfast. My helper will shop this morning and I'll get my fix.
Awww....sweet girl. Has she gone for a ride in the stroller yet?Sophie is so cute. As soon as my alarm went off this morning, there was a little tapping on my arm. She does this all the time. She'll wait until she thinks I'm awake to ask for pets. Lily stays with me all night but Sophie does not. When the alarm goes off, she comes in for attention. If I reach for the snooze button, she smacks my hand. No snoozing. Get our breakfast!
Yes. She whined the entire time. Yet when the stroller is in the kitchen, she'll sit in it and snooze away.Awww....sweet girl. Has she gone for a ride in the stroller yet?
@segelkatt I'm sorry you have to relocate to NV and can appreciate the steep cost of living in CA but thankfully you have family there. I hope they are supportive and the move won't be too difficult for you.No, I don't want to move to Nevada but I don't have any choice. I need to be closer to family due to age and I can't afford California anymore.
neely , California has seasons too, just not as pronounced as it is elsewhere farther North or East.
It was amazing how nice 10 felt after the past couple days!My positive post for today is it's a balmy +10F now with temps. rising this weekend. We finally made it out of the subzero temps.
Well you and me both. I lived with my parents until I was 26. Being the accountant that I am I knew my entire paycheck would be going towards rent in SoCal when I moved out. So I quit my job and we (with my ex) packed our cars and drove to North Dallas. Best financial decision ever. With the good economy and less competition I was able to get a job at a very nice place. Now I actually have money in my 401k and have fantastic medical insurance. Eh the housing prices have gotten too high here so I just live in a very nice apartment instead.I was not talking about people now who have grown up in the cold/hot places. Of course it's home. I meant the White people who first came over from Europe and went to places where they had those extremes temps and why they stayed there instead of to keep going until they found a place with less extreme conditions, more like what they had at home. The people who came from Europe then did not have those extreme conditions due to the gulf stream warming the North Atlantic and the North Sea which in turn kept the land from getting so very cold.
Regarding pulling up one's roots: people do it all the time, I did and I was an adult. Then there are the snowbirds, mostly older people who move to places like Florida, Arizona and California and Oregon to get away from the cold. No, I don't want to move to Nevada but I don't have any choice. I need to be closer to family due to age and I can't afford California anymore.

kittyluv387 , the extreme weather of central Texas (Fort Worth) was just one reason why I could not wait to get out of there. Puddles were frozen during the winter and summer temps of 100F with 98% were certainly extremes, no?
Oh my, those look delicious!! Are you feeling better?Every day on February 2nd since 2004 when I studied in France and learned the French eat crêpes for la Chandleur, I've eaten crêpes. Some blizzard years I had to be creative like make them at home or drive to a clise Baker's Square, but this year I was able to take my fiancé to the normal place for the first time. Yum!

La complète (ham, egg and cheese) and la romantique (strawberries and crème anglaise). I usually get the same two on. My yearly trek.
I've had more energy and my throat hurts a lot less, though I'm not sure I'm 100%. Hopefully soon!Oh my, those look delicious!! Are you feeling better?
