It’s Frickin’ Freezing in Here, Mr. Bigglesworth

Yeah, 40 degrees is kicking my ass this morning.

Did you know that there are no fish in Florida? None. Yeah, it’s chilly, but hell, dragging stinky cheese bait across the bottom ought to get some response. The kids enjoyed the hell out of their rocket fishing rods though, and *we* enjoyed a few hours without whinging about line tangles and reel issues.

The Husband and I both have T-Mobile smartphones, the Dash model to be precise. I like having the qwerty keyboard, since we text far more often than we make actual phone calls (hint: get the unlimited text plan), but the thing can be rather stupid. It has an autofill option that is on by default (hint: to turn this off, press ALT-SPACE, then select ABC), resulting sometimes in seriously ridiculous text suggestions. For instance, Husband was attempting to say, “of his eyes,” but the Dash sent to me instead, “osprey hossenpfeffer eyes.” *blink*  Sounds like a dish the Turks serve to torture tourists.

    40 degrees? Cry me a river. This is day 3 of below 20 as I leave for work. Which, as you know, is not typical here and probably won’t last much longer. But when even the dogs whine to come in after only a few minutes, it is time for spring, dammit. I hope to coax it along when I place my seed order later today. 5 varieties of tomatoes. Yes, we’re crazy.

    It’s not? Oh, my bad. : )

    We’re not starting any seeds yet, just ordering. But the ordering makes me feel better. The Husband is building a cold frame so that we can start them outside when it’s time.

    Yeh. He introduced me the other day as his wife. Didn’t seem to trip him up, but I actually looked around for a split second – oh! You mean ME!
