It's C-C-Cold Outside
Blizzard warning in effect for SE Alaska. I can tell the locals aren't prepared. There were countless people running around outside in whiteout conditions in sweatshirts and no hat or gloves - hands burried deep into their jeans pockets to keep warm. The weather report on the radio was, and I quote, "About nearly 20 inches possible."
It was sloooooooow at work today. I guess not many people wanted to run to the bank in a snow storm. I did a lot of busy work. One of my co-workers tortured me w/ 80s music she loaded onto her phone. She was getting me back for the little bit of country I put on my mixed CDs I bring in. 80s music. Blah! Nothing good ever came from the 80s...except me.
Even w/ the bad music, I wish I could have stayed at work a little longer. I came home and the heat in the house was off. Figures! The coldest day since I got to Alaska and it's the day the heat breaks. The pantry is colder than the fridge. My Dr Pepper is slushy. I'm bundled up in my hat, gloves, 3 shirts, two pairs of pants, long johns and two pairs of socks. It's hard to type. I plugged in my heater, but it's broke too. It set off the smoke detector w/in 30 seconds. Bugger!

slow day at work for me too. The snowstorm slows retail business alot. Hope ya get warmed up soon.
Awww, and you don't even have an natural insulation to help keep you warm! I've got plenty of insulation for the both of us, but I'm down here and you're up there.
Bob and I didn't have any power today when we got up, but he's keeping the baby warm with the fireplace and wood stove in the entryway.
Lot's of good music came from the 80s! Ghostbusters, Black Velvet, 867-5309, Another Brick in the Wall, Janie's Got a Gun, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), Been Caught Stealing. I could go on and on and on.
By the way, happy birthday!
I hope that you have defrosted and warmed up. It sucks when the heater is down and it is freezing!
You need to narrow your list of good 80s music to Black Velvet...end of sentence.
The heat was fixed after a little while, but it took several hours to heat the house back up. By the time I was ready for bed it was still only 60 degrees.
You don't like Aerosmith and Jane's Addiction???????? How can that be?
What about Pac-Man Fever, The Power of Love, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Walk Like an Egyptian, Private Eyes, and Queen of Hearts?
As far as the weather--cheer up. I have you on my local weather channel and it shows 30s!
