Why Sevens rugby should be banned February 21, 11:21 AM by Marla White, LA Equestrian Examiner Last weekend some friends introduced me to the sport of rugby at the 009 IRB (International Rugby Board) Sevens World Series USA in San Diego. I have to confess I had never seen a rugby match and wasn’t sure […]

Bring on the refund!
Each year my goal is to have our taxes finalized before the end of February. I am pleased to announce that that is the case this year! And we will be getting money back too. Yay! Although, next year will be an entirely different story, I’m sure, with Homestead. Speaking of Homestead, we finally met […]
Winter has returned
For a couple of days at least. We finally got back to cold and snowy weather on Sunday, overflowing into yesterday. I loved it! Yesterday’s high was only 11° and this morning when I left for work it was -2°. The only thing that would have made yesterday’s weather better would have been me curled […]
January is part of Winter, right?
According to the calendar this is January. If I remember learning about seasons in elementary school correctly, January is part of winter. That being said, I think Mother Nature is confused. Last month definitely felt like winter. That was when we had 2° highs and -18° lows. We also had a fair amount of snow […]
Surprise!
I love it when the forecasters are wrong, in my favor. 🙂 Sunday night we went to bed expecting nothing more than a dusting of snow, maybe a 1/2″, since the weather reports said our area would receive 1″ or less. Think of the surprise when everyone woke up to 3-6″ of snow (depending on […]
2009
Well, we successfully made it into another year. The new year came in quietly as Noah and relaxed at home, just the two of us. On New Year’s Day we we’re pleased with a USC win at the Rose Bowl and went to an Iron Chef themed dinner party. Each couple was given a secret […]
When the wind blows, it takes your trashcan away
You know how people say a tornado sounds like a freight train? Yeah, I can understand that. Last night it was very windy and by very windy I mean 64mph. Noah and I slept terribly because the wind continued to wake us up when we did manage to fall asleep. Between the loudness of the […]
Christmas 2008
No new snow this year on Christmas, but we did have old snow still on the ground and ice on our street. I think that counts towards a white Christmas. We still had at least an inch on most of the backyard (North facing). Christmas was relaxing this year. Christmas Eve we went to a […]
Arctic Chill Part 2
This morning the weather channel said it was -17° at 6:30. Denver just all but obliterated the previously set records. Yesterday the previous record of -12° (I think) was set in 1901 and smashed by -18°. Today’s previously set record low of -6° in 1954 was replaced by -19°. And yet people still by into […]
Arctic Chill
Last night we got some more snow and some very cool temperatures too! The high I saw today was 3° and that was when I got up at 8am! Right now, the weather channel says it is -8° outside. I concur that it is quite frigid…enough to make one’s lungs complain when breathing in such […]
