MidWest [Social] MidWest Regional Social Thread!

I thought I would start this up because we are tending to clog up other threads with non-thread stuffs.

Feel free to drop in, have a cup of , and relax, vent, happy news, general junk going on in your area.

I know it's starting to get winter up here in Minnesota, and I don't travel w/that white crap on the ground, so it's nice to keep in touch with other areas of the MidWest (and beyond).



So ... yeah... HI! How are ya'll doing?
It's 30 degrees here, snowing, and I'm 25 miles away from my boyfriend on his birthday. I just want to go home and snuggle with him!

 

Woo hoo first post!! It was damn near 70 here today, but supposed to snow tomorrow. Man, I love our weather

 

There's snow on the ground here. We hand rain with thunder and lightning this afternoon and this evening the rain turned to snow. First time that I can recall thunder and lightning while it was snowing. The snow looks pretty on the ground . But I want snow tires on the car before I attempt to drive in it.

I'm sorry you can't snuggle with him on his birthday. That is tough

 

Bleak grey clouds...
34 degrees outside...
The smell of snow on the wind...
Cold weather promised...
Warmer weather promised...
More snow in a week...
Cold snap promised...
Warmer weather promised...
Wind and cold promised...
(and this is just the forcast for the next 14 days!)



I hate this inbetweeny stuff - just kriffin' snow and get it over with!!!

 

I just plain hate this weather. It is cold, windy and wet. All the makings for a good day to stay in bed with a good book.

 

Lol, this is the midwest mod social thread so far

I don't like the weather either, got soaked coming back from running errands this after noon. Since I have no had or hood yet and was too stupid to remember to grab my umbrella, my hair was a sopping mess. At least it's short so it dries quick

 

I'm sure the Springfield boys will find this soon enough.

 

The more the merrier.

And I second the notion that this weather makes a warm bed and a good book incredibly tempting.

 

Yay sun!
I haven't seen the sunlight since LAST SATURDAY!!!

Oh happy day!

 

BOOOO! Cold weather FTL!

But I do know of something that sucks almost as getting blasted by 30+mph winds in 20 degree weather...

WRITERS BLOCK!
which is what I am having at the moment.

 

If only I could melt writer's block like a block of ice.

 

I finally broke through it!
Took a while, but once I had the general idea of what I wanted, it just came out.

it didn't give me a really long chapter, but then again, I didn't really need on for what I was writing about.

 

Congrats! Out of curiousity, what are you writing about?

 

The weekend (for me) is finally here!!! Only 6.5 more hours of work and then I'm off for 4 days!!! w00t! Dinner and hottubbing at my sisters, finally a "do nothing day" with my man meat on Friday. Visitings friends on Saturday & Sunday (with hottub at the hotel!)

It's the weekend of the hottubbing! YeeeHaaa!!!

 

I am undertaking something of a big project.

It is a continuation of my AU story I did earlier this year. When it is finished, it will have spanned from RotS until RotJ.

I am making it 5 books.
the first 2 will split the 20 year span in between the trilogys, and the other 3 will be dedicated to ANH, ESB, and RotJ.

I think the original AU story is in my signature.
If anyone wants to read it, please feel free. It was my first shot at a Fan Fic.

And if any one wants a trailer of the sequel, le tme know, as I have written one.

I just hope I can captivate a larger audience this time. Or at least one that puts more comments in the thread.
I like to hear feedback.

 

Wow, I can't believe it is supposed to be in the 70's for Thanksgiving day. Well, time to break out the shorts.

 

Yes, Love the weather. 70's, sunshining, and no SNOW.

 

It was like in the 50s where I was at. Today is only low-40's, Tuesday in the 50's again, and they are promising 15 on Thursday morning. Blah.

At least - I got some Turkey!!

 

Cold front's coming here too. Ah well, it means the end of the semester is coming then

 

I had snow on Thanksgiving But then again, I'm visiting my folks in Spokane.

 

We haven't had any snow yet Silly bipolar weather - today it was in the 50s. Last week the windchill was in the single digits, if not below zero. All I want is snow... just enough to make it pretty... is that too much to ask?

 

We had a lot of ice, but little snow. But I got my power back today, so I am content...

 

Ice is no fun. I suppose it's a good thing that it's not snowing here yet... it should wait until it's going to stay cold so we avoid the freeze/melt/slush/freeze/ice/slush cycle.

I'm sure I remember regular winters - ie snow for Christmas, consistent weather, etc. - when I was little. Was it just my perception or has the weather actually changed that much?

 

I'll put it on my list of Fanfics to read once I have net at my apartment Sounds interesting!

 

Cool, look forward to hearing from you about it.
