Summer's over. The flowers in the garden are dead.



We got snow on Friday night, and the temps have been below freezing.

The fountain is still on outside romeoa's apartment building though.


I love the fact that 3 different people's reactions on seeing the cool ice formations was "We gotta let Sharon know." So yes, I hopped in the car and went to take pictures.

OK, I knew I was out of shape. Didn't realize just how bad it was until I actually *gasp* exercised.

Last week I joined Snap Fitness with J. from work. They had a special going where there was no enrollment fee, and they have month to month contracts, so I figure if I end up not using it I'll only be out a few months fees.

I went to work out yesterday for the first time and barely made my 15 minutes on the elliptical machine.

but wow! am I ever achy today. Mostly my thighs. It's that sort of feels good ache you get from exercise, but it is definitely something I'm not used to!

In other news, I did horrible on my Spanish test. I got a B- which doesn't seem that bad except that I'd been getting A's on everything 'til now.

It was raining when I left school. When I got home the raindrops were looking a little white and solid. It was also windy as all fuck out there. Right now it looks like we've got about an inch out there and it's still coming down.

I expect that it will be absolutely GORGEOUS out by the time I get up tomorrow. And I can leisurely enjoy it & take some pictures before snowblowing because I'm working the afternoon shift instead of morning. Yay! Sleeping in *and* pretty snow!

Holy fuck! It's cold out there!
Since I've been at work it has warmed up to -11°F (-24°C). When I left the house this morning it was -16°F (-27°C).
Yup. It's Minnesota, and it's winter. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Could be worse...there's no wind.
