Hump Day Poll: Newsworthy?
source If that brings you warm fuzzies, you're welcome. If you don't know what the heck that's referring to, then you might be too young to understand most of my references here and should probably brush up ! We are going on year 9 of not having watched the news. I remember the last time we went to Kauai in 2016 (holy crap, that makes me want to cry) we didn't watch the news once and couldn't believe how much happier we were. We decided to see how long we could push it and here we are almost a decade later. It's enough to be inundated on internet sites on the hourly with the latest dumpster fire lit that should have nothing to do with the kind of stuff it's reporting but to voluntarily watch the news just is not something I have in me. I rarely watch live tv because of the commercials (well more commercials) but I left it on once a few years ago when a show I was watching went live and the news came on right after. I wasn't watchin...
It was great to get out in it again. Definitely much harder with country snow but still fun and a great workout. I know everyone is sick of snow but I hope we get one more good one so I can cross country ski one more time this year!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure you meant crunchy snow since we're not in the country. LOL It definitely was and I'd love to be able to get out once or twice more. (I know we can't push it, we seem to be lucky to get 2-3 outings per season) Oh, everyone bitches about the snow when there's three flakes on the ground. It's winter, get over it or move to a warm weather climate. Instead of griping about the snow, people need to get out in it and PLAY! It's all about attitude.
DeleteSo far all we've been doing with the snow is shoveling it. But we a foot of it yesterday which means there will be enough still around this weekend to go snow shoeing. I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I'm the only one who likes snow shoveling for the extra calories it burns? :-) I hope you get a chance to go out and shoe! Such a nice change of pace from the usual workouts!
DeleteWe finally got some snow this week so that was pretty cool. We actually had a snow day yesterday but it was just too cold to play outside. It was hovering right around 0 with wind chills of -14 to -28. I'm hoping the snow will stick around into the weekend so we can actually enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThat's the only bad part is some of the weather has been too cold to get outside to play in. We lucked out and it hovered close to 30 yesterday but it's plunged since. I love the snow but anything in single digits can take a hike because then I can't go outside to enjoy it.
DeleteWe have had absolutely NO snow to speak of...so the answer to the question is an emphatic, and sad, no.
ReplyDeleteBUT I am so glad you and the Mr. are able to get back to your winter activities that you've missed the past several years!
Boo for no snow. But I know you guys are under a big drought. Hoping for some snow caps soon!
DeleteI'll enjoy it for the both of us! :-)
