Oh, the weather outside is frightful. Well, not here anyway. It is currently 69 degrees and drizzly outside. Yesterday the high was 64; today is expected to get up in the 80s! But wait--we have a cold front expected in, so the temperatures tomorrow are expected to take a dive down to the upper 40s. BRRRR!!!! (she said with tongue firmly ensconced in cheek) Welcome to Texas weather. If you don't like it, give it a few minutes...it'll change. Meanwhile, Cash is on a business trip in Kansas City. Have you seen the weather reports for KC? Ice storm warnings abound! The poor guy hates to fly anyway. Add lousy weather to the mix and pass a bottle of Scotch and he might make it back with his sanity in tact.
Have you Elfed yourself? If not, head on over to www.elfyourself.com--sponsored by Office Max--and have a go of it. You can elf or Scrooge yourself and add a voice too! My husband has had WAAAAAAAAAY too much fun with it. I had trouble accessing it today, so it might be a little busy. Here's the link to ours: http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1268109244
Finally, my very helpful brother Matt (yes, the one who's life is on the line for tickling me mercilessly as a child) sent this fabulous list of home remedies to me. Thought you might be able to use them as well.
Happy Tuesday!!
1. If you are choking on an ice cube, simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat. Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself.
2. Avoid cutting yourself slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold while you chop.
3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink.
4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.
5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.
7. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
8. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
Daily Thought: Some people are like Slinkies. They're not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Well everyone knows #7. At least everyone in the South.
I hope Cash makes it home without incident!
Thanks for the list of helpful hints. I'll print it and put it on the fridge for emergencies.
:o)
Yeah, #7 is a given. #8 I think is especially applicable to me...or so I've been told! ;-)
Poor Cash...leaving icy KC to return to rainy Austin. He can't win. They will have to pry his hands off the armrests.
And I agree with what you said on your most recent post: "Live Free or Die Hard" is FABULOUS!!!
You are normal, Katy. You're just like me and I'm normal. So you must be normal.
Todd and I saw LFODH in the movie theaters and I was giddy with the fun of it!!
So you & I are normal...everyone else is psycho? Works for me! ;-)
I loved all the "Die Hard" movies. Bruce Willis rocks. He doesn't have a wide range of talent (translation: his characters are all pretty much the same guy), but what he does, he does very well.
Loved the list, lol. Sounds like something my brother would have sent me, too!
The only thing is, I don't dare post a list like that, or it'd give my older son ideas!
Hope your hubby makes it home safe and sound.
Katy:
Your list was really really funny! You continue to amaze and impresse me! Do I use too many exclamation points! (?) Sorry!
Merry Christmas Sweet Girl!
Cash
