Mercury Rising

Soooo.... My thermostat says it's 70 degrees, I have a fire going, I'm wearing sweats, I have two blankets and I'm still freezing.
Yeah...survey says "Danielle Is Sick".
My good friend Jessica brought over a thermometer to check my temp. Did you know if you drop those, they break? Oh yes, my friends, into tiny little pieces. Two minutes (and a phone call to the poison control center) later we're cleaning Mercury off my floor and opening all the windows to 'fumigate the house" as ordered by the poison control guy.
....and it's 14 degrees outside.


well, at least now I have a REASON to be cold!

Danielle, I hope you don't mind me checking up on you from afar... you are truly missed back here in MD. I really wish more of my co-workers could have your spunk and sense of humor, but instead it's drab and grey around here all the time. Very happy to see you doing well though! Have a great time with Rob when he gets back (as if I have to tell you that)!

Yeah... sorry about the thermometer thing Danielle... honestly never had that happen before. Let's just say, that was the last mercury thermometer that I buy... the next one is digital!

Apparently Sudz DOESn't know you are here. I laughed when I read that..... hahahah!
