Steelers loose, but still proud!

Some lovely snow pictures. We got another 3 inches overnight, and getting some more today. We have a little over a foot now I think. Still real cold! 20 this morning.

Out my kitchen door -
Our shed, hubby's truck and yes, that's a hand pump.
Standing on my front porch -


Celebrating before the big game! Of course we didn't do much celebrating after the game.




TV - Well, the votes are in.. da da da da! Favorite show so far - "Off the Map"
Sorry "Cape" still love you dearly, you are still hot, just - "Off the Map" squeaks by for the win.

American Idol -I am amazed at 2 things - How much I am loving JoLo! What a sweetie! She couldn't be more adorable if she was paid, ah hem! Oh yeah, she is paid, but still.
And second - What a jerk Stephen Tyler is! He couldn't be more of a jerk if he was p... well you get my point. And I am an Aerosmith fan, I can't imagine what people who do not like Aerosmith think of him! He needs to seriously STOP singing with EVERYBODY!!!!! and STOP hitting on ALL the girls!

KNITTING - This is the sweater I am working on.

This is the back so far, but it is hard to see the pattern in this picture. I promise to post better pictures as I go along. Really pretty colors though.

You guys who are not from NY seriously don't know how true this is! Just this past week. My hubby and I went shopping (When he was home) we got out of the car and both said - "Wow, it is really warm out now!" "Yeah, I'm gonna take my coat off, its too hot with it on." We looked at the temp - it was 31! This is a true story! I guess heat and cold is all relative depending on where you live. When it has been in the teens for 3 weeks, 31 feels warm!

    Like your sweater. Can't wait to see it all done. That color will look nice on you.

    Like your Cold is a Relative Thing.
    This could also go for MN. Its so true for the south.

    Ashley is so much like you...she seems to like what you like.
    You two could be identical sisters
    instead of mother and daughter.
