Our high temperature today has come and gone -- 33* at 6 a.m. We're dropping now, and can expect "dangerously low temperatures", according to the weatherman on the local morning news.
I haven't been on the computer for two whole days. I just haven't felt like it. Eler Beth did not ever actually get sick with the head cold she had, but I seem to have had something else. I spent Tuesday with no voice, a very sore throat, cough and fatigue. I spent yesterday with a squeaky voice, sneezing, coughing, sore throat and more fatigue. This morning I seem to have a nice, husky, sexy voice, still coughing, but not quite as tired. (Well, it would be a sexy voice if I could get a whole sentence out without going into a coughing fit -- nothing sexy about that!) I'm sure I'll crawl back into bed here soon.
Actually I had trouble sleeping last night; probably because of all the sleeping I've been doing for the past two days. I finally gave up trying and got up with Thomas at 3 a.m. and made breakfast for him. I played a little on the computer and watched the early morning news. Then I made oatmeal and bacon for the kids' breakfasts, and even baked a pan of sugar cookies to put in lunches; frozen, not homemade this time.
It is snowing outside a little. I think we're actually going to get some accumulation today, the first for this year.
I was very saddened to hear that James Kim didn't make it. I'm glad they found his body, and I'm not surprised about his death, but I was hoping for a miracle. The man did, in all liklihood, save his family's lives, because the helicopter pilot saw his tracks and the trail he left, following it back to the car where his wife and daughters were. I found out yesterday that he had lived for a while in Louisville, KY and had gone to school at Ballard High, making the story a little more personal for people around here.
I'm off to check the weather again, and help Eler Beth finish getting ready for school. I'll probably be back a little later to do some more catching up.

Read about the motorist lost in snow, saw a movie about a similar episode a few years back. Get better soon, Lori.
Hope you feel much better soon! Hugs and GBU, Shelly
I don't get the "sexy" voice either when mine cuts in and out.....I get Marge Simpson...and there ain't nothin' sexy about that! lol lol lol
Hey Lori, I'm here to get caught up but I see you haven't been around J-Land much either lately. I sure hope you are all feeling better and back to good health by now! We're heading out of town tomorrow, see you next weekend!
Hugs and Happy Holidays! Martha :-)
I went to read your Dusty Pages Book Shelves and twice it kicked me off line when I started to scroll down to read, so I will try it another day. I plan to review all the christlmas books I gave and got after Xmas. I am going tomorrow for one more run to my thrift store. I went to Borders and got the most wonderful book of Picasso works for my son Raymond who has always loved Picasso. I got a Bronte Sister history in context for my daughter. She loves Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. I got an artist's view of the Grand Canyon for my oldest son Gary who likes to paint. I do like historical novels. I have not read any of Georgette Hyer, but I will try one now at your recommendation. One of my favorites is "Year of the French" by Thomas Flanagan, about when the French came in to help the Irish try to overthrow the English. The book follows a poet about, and boy is the poetic language wonderful.
I was very sad about James Kim, too.
Since you haven't been here in a while I hope its because you are very busy with the holidays. Miss you, Paula
