February Roundup

[fabulousfrock]

This is what I do now. I roundup. Once a month. But this will be short because I have an editorial letter for Dark Metropolis 2! Yay! It came on Monday. This also means I finally got to talk to my new editor Tracey for the first time. Just like my sister, she loves birds. She even goes to the same bird place in Florida that I've been to with my

In CO, January and February tend to be pretty spring-like...our 'winter' comes in March and April, so we're trying to be prepared. :) But my tulips and daffodils are breaking through.

Tulips, really?????

We're having record low temps again and tomorrow is supposed to be only about the freezing mark, but with the *s* word (and I don't mean sun...

[fabulousfrock]

Wait, tulips and then winter weather? How do the tulips like that...?

[robinellen]

Well, they're still here :) It helps that they haven't bloomed yet (though the daffodils up the street are simply shaking off the snow and raising their yellow heads)...

[boreal_owl]

I've been really busy work-wise, which is good, right? If only some of it paid...

[fabulousfrock]

Oh, I feel your pain on that....

[anicalewis]

I feel your pain re: yoga in the cold and also re: Rainbow Rowell.

Good luck on your edits!

And feel free to complain about the weather all you like. I don't want to come across like someone who can't handle the cold in ND (people like to look smug at the thought of outsiders coming up here and dying of the cold)--but heck yes, it's cold, and sometimes you just have to express that fact (not opinion)! So go right ahead. :)

Yeah, everyone who moved from a warmer place to a colder one in the past couple of years got a kick in the pants this year, I guess! Though this IS what I EXPECTED winter to be like. With all the complaining people do about cold up north, I generally assumed that if you lived, oh, from Virginia on up, at the least, you must be shoveling snow and scraping ice every week. =P

I think a lot of Floridians consider the alligators a perk! Though I'm not one of them, they freak me out because you know, they COULD kill you if they were feeling really motivated that day, but if you go hiking you'll run into people all the time who are like, "Go down that trail! There's a BIG ALLIGATOR!"

[fabulousfrock]

Well, bears are a lot more dangerous, I think? Alligators rarely even react to a human being around. But I'm very cautious. Also I don't think they're that interesting because...they're just a big reptile that lays around. Yawn. I'd rather see birds or turtles or something that DOES things, and is more adorable...and maybe plays a little more hard to get!
