HI2U HURRICANE IKE:
Naturally, I fully expect another panic come next week.
I know, I know, “That’s what you get for living in Florida!” but seriously, the rain is getting old. I’d be perfectly okay with rainy days if I were at home, in my pajamas, reading a good book. Alas, that whole “paying bills” and [...]
Seriously, I must’ve missed something.
For the past few days, the news has been abuzz with Tropical Storm Fay. She tore through the Caribbean and inched her way towards Florida.
And Florida, you absolutely lost your shit.
Perhaps I’m jaded from having been in Central Florida during the 2004 hurricane season when most of the entire state had [...]
Fuck you, Al Gore.
It’s 41 degrees right now. The high is expected to be around 51 but I doubt it’ll get that warm. To think, three days ago, it was sunny and warm and perfect. And now this?
It snowed, people. IN FLORIDA.
Okay, so it was more like flurries. BUT STILL.
Some [...]
Dudes! It is cold! It’s a whopping forty degrees here; there was a thin layer of ice on our windshield this morning!
I’m not accustomed to this “cold” nonsense. If I can’t stay warm in a long-sleeved t-shirt, you can forget it. The 800% humidity just kind of makes it worse too; nothing [...]
Proof that “winter” (or, the one week where we feel the ass end of a cold front) is here: the high temperatures are staying in the double digits and it’s supposed to get down to the 50s, which is freezing to a native Floridian.
And yet? We still wear flip flops.
Saturday night, my husband and I [...]
Remember how I said fall may have finally come to Florida?
Go ahead and punch me.
Here, let me demonstrate with the super-scientific map from Intellicast:
Standing outside for ten minutes means sweat and love bugs (“summer swarm” can kiss my ass!) and frizzy hair.
Florida is truly a state for the sexiest human beings on this planet.
Dare I say that autumn is here? And by “autumn” I mean “the time of year when lovebugs come back in full force and the temperature isn’t in the triple digits but the humidity is still at 94%.” Ahh, sweet Florida! There is an undeniable pleasure in driving to work with the [...]
So! Do you know what today is?
(Besides Friday, June 1st, smart-asses!)
Today is the first official day of hurricane season!
And it’s off to a good start; there’s already a “hazardous weather outlook” bulletin posted at the National Weather Service website that includes: isolated tornadoes, heavy rains with possible flooding, 20mph winds with 25mph gusts, [...]
Well, damn. If I’d have known that my site traffic would, like, quadruple at the merest mention on RockStarMommy.com, I would’ve made myself a bit more presentable and cleaned up the place a little.
Anyway, I’m excited about this weekend. A friend flew in from Philly last night and we’re spending as much time [...]
It’s 45 degrees this morning! FORTY-FIVE! In Florida! At the end of January! Just when I thought it was okay to pack away the “winter clothes” (anything that isn’t a tank top and shorts) the weather system is all, “Screw you, Sunshine State!” My Canadian friends are probably laughing their [...]
