This Week…Words and Expectations

Good morning, Kathy... I think we are used to seeing more frigid weather in Charlotte than you see in Houston... so we worry less, even if we do take certain precautions. Snow, of course, generates a whole other reaction here (like last week when it never did snow). I think I'd put my money on the Chiefs, as well.

Good morning Kathy. Mother Nature may be punishing all of us for those who think they can change her with climate change initiatives. Mom has something to say about that! May you not get snow and warmer weather comes from Mother Nature soon. Enjoy your day staying warm and watching football.  

Hello Kathy - any day my day includes a quote from Steven Wright is immediately better.  It will come as no surprise to say I was far from a normal child, but I prized my copy of Roget's Thesaurus I received in elementary school.  

I was watching the news and saw 5 inches of snow in the Houston area (maybe) on Tuesday. Crazy

We're getting about 4 inches of snow between Sunday night and Monday morning, but didn't know Houston ever went into the 20's?

Hello Kathy, SNOW really in your area, I am sure you do not get that much.  We are cold here but going to be colder on Monday.  

Kathyl, as you know I am from Texas. I have never heard of snow in Houston.  It is rare for even Austin to get snow.  Stay warm. BTW, I enjoyed the quotes you posted.  Joe

Hi Kathy,

Inspired by Steven Wright's quote, you've sparked ideas for my future posts. Thank you.

Kathy we're on the same page with the colder temps! It's been chilly here in PHX and apparently going down more this week.  We've got everything covered that needs it for sure.  And I'm  bundled up inside including a sweater!  Total wimp!!

PS we talked about the game today and what kind of shape you'll be in......let us know!    It's going to be really cold in Kansas!  Brrrrr.

We are expecting snow all day on Sunday in Maryland. And, we already have a lot of snow on the ground.

Kathy looks like the cold spell is widespread.  Our lows this coming week will be in the single digits.

I enjoyed reading your lighthearted post celebrating National Thesaurus Day, Kathy Streib - it's refreshing to see you embracing the power of words and exploring their nuances, and I appreciate the thought-provoking quotes you shared along the way!

It's hard to believe as right now Kathy Streib  it's low 60's, the sun is out and Melissa is having a great open house. But the facts remain ..the storm is headed our way and I'm ready since I'm down with a bad cold anyway! My fireplace will be burning and I'm staying put! Yes the game this afternoon..just hoping for a good one!  

Wow hard to believe how cold you guys are having.... so I have no right to complain as I write this comment that it is 47 degrees outside and the heater is blowing nice warm air 71 degrees in the house, Endre

Hmm, maybe I am mistaken but it seems that Larry's teams win more often than your teams do, haha.

Kathy, I always adored Steven Wright...I saw him live many years ago....I always liked, "it's a small world but I wouldn't want to paint it" and "I got a new microwave fireplace...you can sit by the fire for an evening in 5 minutes" LOL
