Gotta love colorado. It's officially the last day of summer and it's snowing.
I love it.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Yep. My parents are in Colorado Springs for a few days and my called me to tell me it was snowing. Cracks me up b/c she HATES snow! Interesting weather, huh?
I saw that on the news! I'm not ready for snow yet. And here in frozen Minnesota it's 80 and sunny.
It's not snowing up here yet, but they say tonight it'll come in. I'm so not ready for it! We *barely* got a summer as it is!
I'd love some cooler weather. Is this Karl's first snow?
Lots of rain here today, some thunder too. Had a bit of frozen stuff fall for a while, but it wasn't snow. Maybe sleet?
Are you fucking serious? I'm jealous. It's like 100 degrees here..
I LOVE it!
I was dancing around here at work....
Yep... flip flops are still on. I am NOT taking them off until Oct 1... not even for a blizzard!
We're having beautiful weather after a rainy weekend. I wish it would snow (sort of) because then I wouldn't have to mow the f'ing lawn!
Oh my goodness! For once someone is having crazier weather than we have in Michigan :-) Hope you're doing well...sorry I haven't commented in forever!
Oh yeah...thanks for making me laugh with the post about having your boobs measured and being proud. I could use the laugh and you did it!
we have cooler temps today but we'll be back to 90 tomorrow. i can't wait for snow
Really?! Now this could pose a packing dilemna as it is often still freakishly muggy in philly... even through all of october.
How weird to have to shovel in summer!
No F-ing way. That's crazy! lol And I thought Rochester, NY was bad...
As soon as I told DH, he said, "did she post pics?", and I said, "no, she doesn't post pics of that kind of stuff", and he says, "well, she needs to get a camera", and I said, "well, she HAS one, but she doesn't post random pics like that".
He is a weather geek, so of course he went online to verify it was; indeed, snowing in CO. :)
Wow...I can't even imagine. I've been a FL girl all my life. I'd love some cooler weather...not sure about snow though.
I saw that on the news today! They even said the earliest day recorded for snow in the Denver area was Sept 3. It is so muggy and humid here, I could hardly believe it.
We had rain, snow and hail today. Although I'm more impressed with the 40 degree drop in temperature from yesterday to today!
I am so not looking forward to snow! Two 18 month old boys to bundle up in snowsuits... YUCK!
Crazy.
Yeah, that's unacceptable.
No way! Didn't you used to live in/near Phoenix? Talk about drastiaclly different climates... which to you prefer?
As much I say I hate the cold weather, that I only like snow on Christmas, and that I'd love to live where it's 80 degrees year round, I actually do like living in NYC and experiencing the change of seasons.
OMG, snow already?!?!?
Then again, I remember it snowing on us in July in Wyoming. That part of the country is just weird (but wonderful).
Ugh!! The thought of snow makes me want to cry. Please don't send the snow my way. Thank you very much!
