Where the heck has summer gone???? It's 48° F. at 8:54 a.m.!!!

[Heidi]

I'm freezin' my digits off. :scared:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear Heidi!

Wow, sweetie, I have no idea where your summer went!

But ours is still here...

It's getting down to the 70's at night.......x(

I'm looking forward to cooler weather...though yours sounds excessively cool!

:hug:

[Heidi]

2. We live on the "dark side" of Lago Maggiore,

in the shadow of a mountain, so we don't get as much sun as the Locarnese side gets. I think it's about 65 on the other side of the lake this morning. :scared:

I think I'll have to put the down comforter on the bed tonight. Weird. x(

[fudge stripe cookays]

25. It's so GORGEOUS there!

That was one of my favorite days of our vacation years ago...cruising the islands. I LOVED Isola Bella and Isola Pescatore. :D

[Heidi]

26. fudge stripe cookays!!!!

I haven't seen you in a jillion years! :hug:

We live catty corned across the lake from Isla Brissago. (We're actually more directly across the lake from Locarno/Muralto.) :hi:

[fudge stripe cookays]

28. How are ya hon?

I've been around, just stealth posting. ;-)

Been VERY busy trying to fix up our house to sell, and doing all the associated chores that entails. We're moving to Wisconsin, so I'm going up first (start my new job Monday). reprehensor has to stay here and get the house sold.

40 something sounds HEAVENLY to me right now. After trying to fix up our garden in 100 something degrees (with MS, and having to wear my glasses, with sweat just pouring off me, I need freaking windshield wipers!)

:hi:

[Heidi]

29. Sendin' you good vibes for moving and getting resettled!

We had some hot-hot-hot days this summer, so I shouldn't be complaining about one chilly morning. I'll be sending you and reprehensor good energy for moving, selling the house and getting perfectly resettled in the new place, okay! Go get 'em! :thumbsup:

30. .

:rofl:

Those are great! If only I'd had some a few days ago!

[Inchworm]

3. Muahahahah! that will teach you!

oops.. it may have all been in my head, but are you by chance wearing a French maid outfit?

:D

Hi!

:hi:

[Heidi]

4. No French maid outfit,

but I'll yodel for you, if you ask nicely. :P

What's with this :hi: stuff? Where my :hug: ?

[hfojvt]

5. that sounds warm

compared to the 33 degrees it was here.

That must be what happens when you don't live in the mountains, and use Celcius. Gloria in its celcius day, oh. :P


"It's a cold world. You need your friends to keep you warm" The Big Chill

[Heidi]

7. Hahahahaha!

"The Big Chill" is one of my all-time favorite movies.

Thirty-three degrees makes me _not_ miss the Midwest. :scared:

I miss seeing ya around, hfojvt! :hug:

[hfojvt]

15. But some like it hot

I was here the whole time. I just got sucked into R/T. It was fun - for the first couple of hours, but it never ends. Now I must trundle off to dreamland. :hug:

[Heidi]

20. Sweet dreams, friend.

:hug:

[Omphaloskepsis]

6. Global Warming...

Ya know because that can happen overnight... Oh wait, you are cold. So it can't be global warming. Hmmmm, maybe god turned the thermostat down before bed? Oh shit, that doesn't work either, I don't believe in god.

Sorry you are cold.. Might be time to find a few blankets and CMW.

[Heidi]

8. CMW's toastily asleep on my still warm side of the bed.

That's kinda like cheating, isn't it, to wait for your wife to wake up and then ya sneak over into her warm spot? x(

Hey, you! :hug: :loveya:

[Omphaloskepsis]

9. My cat does the same thing..

Sometimes it is amazing that we put up with these critters.

Long time no type. How are you?

[Heidi]

10. Critters = significant others, or cats?

:rofl:

I'm good, though experiencing some situational anxiety over possibly having to go to Hannover in a couple of weeks. x(

How've you been? Are you moved into the new place? :hug:

[Omphaloskepsis]

14. It applies to both..

They both get mad when don't feed them. Both get mad when you don't provide affection when they want it. Both act irritated when you want affection and they want the dinner you forgot to make for them.

I'm sure your trip will be fine..

I bought a RV. My roommates are letting me park it in the backyard until I finish school. It is already back there I just need to move into it. I never thought my house would have wheels, but my rent will only be $100 per month. I will have electric and Internet but I will have to go inside to use the restroom. It is about three times my current living space so it is worth it. And I can pee outside. And I have to use a ladder to get to my bed. Total chick magnet.

[MissHoneychurch]

17. Hey, if you are going to Hannover

you better drop by in Frankfurt :)

[Heidi]

18. That would be wonderful, but there's absolutely no way.

If I have to go to Hannover, I'll be going as a substitute for one of Daniele's clients who is having a complicated pregnancy, and her travel itinerary is already set. I'm really, really not looking forward to working from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and then business dinners every evening. :cry:

[MissHoneychurch]

11. You're not the only one

we have the same temps here in Germany :scared:

[Heidi]

12. Isn't that just ridiculous for the first week in September?

:scared:

Nice to see you, gf! :hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

13. It is

And the temps were cool all summer long ... or so it seemed. They are saying it was a normal summer but all I remember is rain and cool temps. Go figure.

I am glad I had a summer during my vacation.

Nice to see you too :hug: :loveya:

How have you and CMW been? And how is Ginger doing?

[ElizabethDC]

16. Geez, that's cold! It's still pretty warm here in DC. High of 90 degrees tomorrow.

I do wish it would cool off a bit, but 48 degrees is a bit extreme for September!

[Heidi]

19. I'm a warm-weather person, for sure.

I normally have a month or two to acclimate myself to the coming of fall, but not this year. :cry:

I envy your 90-degree days, Elizabeth! :hug:

[krispos42]

21. Up north, melting the icecaps

Gotta open up that northwest passage, don'tcha now?

[Heidi]

22. It's melting our ski resorts,

not that I care much about ski resorts, but my brother-in-law is a forester here and he tells us that the effects of global warning already are having an impact on local wildlife as well as vegetation. x(

[calimary]

23. Hey, come to So Cal and you can have all the heat wave you want.

It just started cooling off here in the last day or so - actually in the low 70's at night. A couple of days ago, it was 112 in the shade during the height of the afternoon. I'll take your 48 degrees at 8:54am ANYTIME!

[Heidi]

24. I lovelovelove Southern California!

Stop taunting me! :cry:

:P

[riona]

27. We've been in the 90's every day

Don't think you would enjoy this summer!

[Heidi]

32. I grew up in northeastern Oklahoma,

so I remember southern humdity all too well. I think you're absolutely right that I wouldn't enjoy 90-plus-degree days all summer. :rofl:

:hi:

[RebelOne]

31. I'll trade you my 90-degree weather for your 48 degrees.

It's been in the high 80s and low 90s this week here in North Georgia. I hate summer. I am so, so ready for winter.

[Heidi]

33. We lived in Kentucky one summer when I was a kid.

It was so humid that we felt slow-boiled all summer. How my parents got the energy to "create" my little brother that summer in Kentucky, I'll never know. :P

[WinkyDink]

34. Going to reach 90 here on Saturday! (Eastern PA.)

[soleft]

35. Going to my sister's in Lititz on Sat - she has a pool, yay!

[Heidi]

38. I'm jealous.

:cry:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

36. I'm so jealous.

x(

[Heidi]

39. Smile

when you say that, S A. ;)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

42. Okay.

:D

[Heidi]

43. You've tempted the wrath of a Starbucks Anarchist-smile-lovin' older woman.

On the other hand, I'll take what I can get. :rofl:

:P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

44. I love wrath!

;)

[texas1928]

37. 76 in the panhandle of Texas.

With a chance of thunderstorms. :P



See if you were here.

[Heidi]

40. Nice!

I love thunderstorms, as long as they're not northeastern Oklahoma, tornado-alley thunderstorms. :P

How ya been, tex? :hug:

[texas1928]

41. Been doing fine, just work and then home.

Hey we are in Tornado alley too. I have chased my fair share of them around here.
