Weather Report for Disney Social Media Moms Conference

.

I just wanted to let everyone who is coming down to Florida for the Disney Social Media Moms Conference what the weather is supposed to be like.  I have copied the 8-Day forecast from our local TV station Local 6 WKMG so you can see for yourselves:


Things look like it is going to be just beautiful for all of us down here!! I do recommend bringing a jacket or sweater for the evenings, but it

Did You Ever Have One of Those Weeks?????

  Boy, oh boy, what a week this was for us... I am still recovering.


It started out on Monday, the 13th with my poor husband breaking a tooth eating an ice cream bar as we were picking up my prescriptions (which by the way cost $106 for 2 generic prescriptions, UGH!) - it was, of course after 5:00pm, so the dentist office was already closed.


Well, Tuesday I woke up to discover that Mandie,

Photo of the Day (Not Mine)

I found this photo on This is Photobomb and thought it was simply amazing.  I don't know if it was photo shopped or not, but it looked so cool that I had to share it with you all.  With all the tropical storms we have been having around here the last 10 days or so (plus I know a couple are headed up toward New England, so please be careful, my friends) it really struck a chord with me.

Caught in the Rain

One day last week on our walk, we were just on our way home (about 1/2 mile from the house) and it started to rain.  We took shelter under one of "nature's umbrellas" - because I forgot to bring one of our own - a big beautiful tree.  This seemed to keep us mostly dry for about 10 minutes until it really started coming down and we started getting soaked.  We finally gave in and started walking

Kung fu fighting the Märzwinter

I recently read the following advertisement for the "Ninja Umbrella" (pictured below)


Everybody Was Kung Fu Lightning
NINJA UMBRELLA

Rain: Ninja. You are but a mere mortal and no match for my powerful torrent. Do you surrender?

Ninja: Ah, Rain. You are a most worthy opponent and teacher. But I will never surrender.

This is what I need for Munich's March weather. There is apparently a weather phenomenon called Märzwinter bringing the ridiculously cold temperatures and miserable cloudy melty slushy snow blizzardness that has been the last two weeks.

We are currently suffering under the reign of the low pressure system named "Herbert". That's right, they name them here. Maybe it's just Germany's way of dealing with the bad weather. At any rate, it turns out that they've been naming their high and low pressure systems since 1954. At first, all the high pressure systems got male names and the low pressure systems got female names. But then the feminist groups got (rightly) riled up because the bad weather systems were all female, and now the naming procedure alternates yearly.

Also, you can adopt weather systems for your special someone here complete with name and information packet. Too bad valentines day is over.

At any rate, bad weather like this is an excuse for EVERYTHING. Especially not blogging. Or tweeting. Or not making Sauerbraten (guilt!!). I will, however, be venturing to Südbad today to try our their aquafitness course. I have developed a liking for water aerobics.. I'll let you know if that amps up my life motivation, but until then, I will still grumble about the weather.
