  1. It's suppose to drop to 30 degrees by Wednesday in Southern California.. at least where I live. We are also expecting SNOW at the lower elevations which would mean a snow day for us because we can't drive in the rain much less snow. We'd all crash into each other for sure.

    I cannot believe your dash temp has a minus in it.

    Here's my week ahead post:

  4. Yeow, that's cold! It was quite warm, yesterday (60s, probably), but today rain moved in and we were down to the 40s. That's really quite cold for us. We've spent Christmas in shorts, barefoot.

  5. With that temperature, it seems like the area I'm in is in the middle of a heat wave! It's about 46F out right now, pouring rain.

  8. Lisa, just wanted to stop by your blog and thank you again for the great Secret Santa gift you sent me. I've added you to my blog roll, as well. You probably don't want to hear this, but it's supposed to be in the low 70s here in North Carolina this week. I love the pictures of your kids. It brings back many fond memories. My boys are 19 and 21. Christmas just isn't the same anymore. I guess I'll have to wait for grandkids!

  9. Don't you just dream of that 70s weather though? I didn't check our temp on Monday, but yesterday morning my car read -15 on the way to work...YUK!
