11. Only 12 weeks out of the year (or so) >
The corp HQ of the company I work for is in Scottsdale; I fly from IA every month.

Thought it would be a great time to bring the family/friends along for a sunny little hiatus... Feh.

2. It's been raining all night here and I heard there was hail
way out on the west side. I love it when it's raining here and I'm safe and snug inside.

I live right next to the Indian Bend Wash in Scottsdale and that thing always fills up in a big rainstorm and so it seems like I live next to a river, it's so cool!!

6. We need more days like this before our "winter" is over
and lots more snow up north, then we may be able to avoid a severe drought and forest fires this summer, let's keep our fingers crossed for more rain and snow!

By the way, I'm a native of Arizona, born and raised here.

13. It's WINDY
The snow is light mostly, alternating between that and nothing at all. The big storm we were supposed to have a few days ago didn't materialize.

I am doing great! I have already spent the first of 3 days off, and am awaiting some potential big news... stay tuned if it happens. :-)


Btw, I love strawberries and tomatoes!! I bet they would go well with Costco chicken. ;-)
