Times A Changin.....

So tomorrow we lose and hour. This is the hubbys fave time change and my least fave. I don't mind the extra light outside and all that's included in that. I just don't understand why some states participate in the time change and some don't. Do we have a choice? Come to think of it......why is Tallahassee a different time zone? These things shouldn't be on my mind at all, I know but as I was throwing out the reminder of time change on FB I thought I would write about it. 

Sunday is the day that I get up the earliest through the week. We have vocal practice at 7:30 am. So now I'm gonna get up at 5:30? Whaaaaa? That should be against the law. lol Sunday is a day of rest. Right? I'm thinking it may be a coffee two cupper?? 

Anywho, if you like this time change then good for you. If you don't then you are not alone. If you didn't know it was happening then you're welcome. Or you may just not care. Hope you all have a great day and enjoy the extra day light. 

O n fyi..........Easter is April 20th this year. It was usually around this time change that's how I would remember. One around Easter and one around Halloween. Who decides this? I'm telling ya it's annoying. 

Carry on...

Peace, Candy

Weather Weirdness

So I don't know why it boggles my brain so much about the different weather situations we have been having in the US of A....It does though. 
How can it be 82 here in Florida and like 10 in MO where my bff lives? They are on their fourth snow day this week. It's Thursday for those of you that don't wanna do the math. 

I saw this post of FB earlier......Store closed due to Mega Winterpocalypse  Snowmageddon Def Con 4 Killstorm 2014. I thought this was hysterical. Sounds like someone is a lil bitter. 

But rest assured people.Yesterdays 82 is todays cloudy, rainy, 57. The groundhog is saying 6 more weeks of winter. You literally just have to check on a day to day basis. 

Last week our heater was broke for 5 days with a plethora of problems. We got it fixed and one day later it hit 80 again. By the way, I learned a few things during that time...1. I have no long sleeve pjs or pj pants that are long...2.My robe is not as long as I thought...3.Opening the oven for your main source of heat is NOT ideal....It was 40 here people. We have a cold wet 40 so don't judge. 

I also find it funny that people get so, shall we say uptight about the weather. I live in Florida. We are not prepared for cold. Also, even if I lived in the cold we would have another source of heat. The biggest thing that makes me laugh was, well be glad your not up north. Ummmm I'm pretty sure the people up north are not in houses that got down to 59 degrees. 

But I digress.....

When its hot as H E double hockey sticks in August I will be sure to say, Well be glad you don't live in Florida.......Ps. Normally its not 100 degrees in your house here either. ;)

Stay warm people. Or if you live in Florida stay cool. Well maybe next week. 

Peace, Candy

Coffee Shop Fun!


Happy New Year!!!

Well it has definitely been awhile since my last post. Dec. 5th which is soooo 2013. I guess I had to get used to the swing of things working and all the holiday stuff of course.

Anywho, what is to tell? One big exciting thing is my daughter got engaged on Christmas Eve. The cool part was we were all there to witness and take pics. 

So not only do we have that to look forward too this year but I have a son graduating high school, one turning 13, (ugh my baby is gonna be a teenager) and my youngest grandson will have his first birthday in May. We are also goin to try to fit in my hubbys grandmas 90th birthday celebration in PA. 

My band has alot of stuff on the calendar this year as well and it's growing. Playing out alot more. 
All the while I am still trying to keep my bike riding up. Moved it inside now though because of the 32 degrees, high 45. Yes, I still live in Florida. Pan handle got snow so we are doing alright here. 
I do want to mention our heater was broken with a plethora of things wrong with it. That was a cold few days. Lucky that our band leader is a Heat/AC guy. (usually AC is first in the  name)

Looking forward to some adventures this year. I will of course tell you all about them. 
As of now the family is in good health and my hot rod building hubby is keeping busy. 

Ps. My highlight this month was the hubby painted the bedroom furniture finally. I say finally cause it was 2012 when he said he would first do it. Got to love a $16.00 make over. Again, he's been busy. =)

Peace, Candy
