We're at home right now.

Instead of at work. Because the roads are nasty.  Freezing drizzle is Bad Bull.  And taking a couple hours of vacation to stay at home is much preferable to risking a car wreck or sitting in traffic for twice as long (hence resulting in used vacation hours anyway).

Seriously - good night, it's cold out there!  It's like the blizzard was on Christmas Eve, except without the snow.  Bare branches of the pecan in the front yard and our neighbor's red oaks are really tossing in the wind. And the porch swing outside my window is in constant motion. It's 26 right now, wind gusting over 30 mph, and the wind chill is 13. We're supposed to make it up to 28 today - with the sun shining - and wind chills may get down to -1 tonight. Gack.

LOL! I haven't heard anybody other than my grandma use the phrase good night as an exclamation! It took me awhile to figure out what you were talking about.

You're so cute - you are such an old soul in a young body!
