brrrrr

beautiful picture.

at least there's still internet! or, eh, something.

And a nice old window, with grouted edges and everything, not the crappy mini-sliding doors we have in the Northwest.

I never thought I'd be nostalgic for *windows.*

Not to rub it in or anything, but it's 75 degrees and bright blue skies here in Southern California. Wanna come over and play?

looks so sinister

Note to self: ask doctor to increase anti-depressant meds for the winter....

Need 'em more then.....

*Lock* that window, grrrl!!!

I kinda miss snow. Not the scraping the half-inch layer of ice off the windshield part, but the muffled quietude and icicle part. I demand more pictures of snow!

Sometimes I think you could take a picture of the worlds ugliest asscrack and some asshead would come along and say “nice ass picture” just because you’re a good ass photographer. :-) Said in the nicASS of ways….

Let the frog princess play in the snow! Or rather, let her sit there in the snow. Maybe having a cold butt will be the motivation she needs to scoot around a bit!

Yikes. We don't even have snow yet here in chilly Canada (though they're calling for it). Speaking of Canada, I just read an interesting tidbit in the paper: on November 3rd, Citizenship and Immigration Canada had 10x the usual number of hits on its website...and the vast majority came from the U.S (115,000). Come on up folks!

Oh, the snow! Living in North Texas, we usually get a ton of ice and maybe 3 inches of snow, but that only lasts for a day or so. I'm SO jealous.

Wait, how could you not have had buffalo wings in 29 years? I hope you slathered them with blue cheese.

Wow - snow already? That's even worse that living in Wisconsin! I'm not ready for snow yet. Great shot though, especially considering the lighting differences.

What a beautiful photo. I wish it snowed in Sydney.

maybe the great g-o-d is punishing utah for voting for the awful b-u-s-h.

just a thought. ;)

ps- i want you to know that although i take your struggles very seriously, you have also come out of it all beautifully and thus have made me want to have a baby very badly. those cute pictures are just too much for me. so stop it!! no babies for me yet! nah, keep up the good work. i'll try to be patient, and bide my time looking at cute pictures of the frog queen.

Um, GO FOR A WALK IN THE SNOW! Let the snow crunch under your boots, let chuck roll around in it and shake it everywhere and act all doggy nuts and happy, teach Leta to make snow angels, throw snowballs.

Wow. Mucho snow. Stupid winter.

We'll be joining you here in Canada by Monday. Atleast that's what the weather man is saying.

Ugh

Oh, God, Heather!! Liisa is SOOO right!!!! Ha!Ha! I can just imagine the the posts tomorrow...errr...a couple days from now?? Titled, "Buffalo Wings, thou art EVIL!"

My boyfriend kept telling me that he went to Hooters for the food. I never believed him...until I went with. I'm now hooked. Buffalo sauce has now become my obsession, and I put it on absolutely ANYTHING I can think of. YUM!

ah snow - I'm a Californian too and don't see much of it. I spent two days in it and realized about 2 hours into the trip that the act of shoveling snow...to make enough space to park a VW Beetle in the driveway...is enough to make the novelty of snow wear off. :) Bring on the 75 degree days!

I used to work at a restaurant that had grilled buffalo wings, not fried and loved them. I figured out how to make them recently...it's SUPER easy. Get some Frank's Red Hot--it is the flavor of buffalo wings you will recognize--marinate some wings in it for as long as you can...minimum 30 min. Then grill them and add a little sauce as you grill with a basting brush. Then give them a quick toss in some more Frank's to give them a little extra kick and the right messy feel. And by the way, Frank's is what we used at the restaurant. I used to see it brought in by the caseload. Hope that helps...

go play in the snow!

I'm from Buffalo and I admit, I take the wings for granted. And trust me, Buffalo makes the best wings! The city hosts an annual chicken wing festival every year and people wear big foam chicken wing hats (kind of like cheese heads but not cheese).

LOVE this site!

Here in Alberta we've had snow since mid Oct. it snowed a lot. However NOW the weather is warmer so the snow is all gone. I love snow.. hate the cold that comes with it though.

Mmmm Buffalo wings

we don't even have snow up here in my part of Canada yet! I'm jealous!

I moved south specifically to get away from snow. I do NOT miss it, tho I do think it can be quite beautiful. Now, if they even threaten freezing temps, the place goes crazy. You'd think, since 90% of the people here are FROM the north, they'd remember how to drive in what little snow we get sometimes. But no, they are complete idiots. Oh well. Comes with the territory.

Hope Leta gets to play in the snow soon!

bundle up and go for a walk anyway.
snowshoes are totally fashionable and snowshoeing is a great workout.

i live in new hampshire and can't wait for our first significant snowfall.

I can't decide which I want more: snow or wings.

I can't wait for the snow to arrive here because it means no more questions from our nosy neighbor!!!!

I like the photo, but don't understand why you didn't blur the foreground and focus on the background snow.

I have a dumb question. How come you can't walk in the snow? I'm asking because we don't get the snow here in MS. We just get bone chilling sticky wet coldness for about a month.

why can't you go for a walk in the snow?

i think you need to get this for chuck...

Damiano’s Pizza is one of my faorite places to eat. Reading your blog makes everything here so much more exciting. When I drive up Barrigton to the 405 I look for that Guy/Girl in between the coffe Bean and Starbucks. Thanks Heather =)

Oh, dooce ~ the stories of love you tell!

*faints with the kewteness of it all*

Damn you dooce. I keep reading your story about the chicken wings (how can you not know about glorious chicken wings) and even though I am feeling nauseated from working where I work, I have to go have chicken wings. I HAVE TO. I AM DYING FOR THE WINGS.

People, are you insane? I live in Minnesota (sometimes affectionately referred to as The Tundra) and I am dancing for joy that it hasn't snowed yet. Dooce, you have my symphathy. Snow bad.

You gotta find a place that has all you can eat wings and all you can drink beer for 4 hours.
That'll keep anyone regular for the rest of the week.

ps. just wanted to say hi, long time reader, first time poster. (its something about the wings and poop i guess)

Pew.

I love Damiano's! Particularly the dim lighting inside. "Is this my pizza?" "No that's my hand."

Ew, snow. It's 52 degrees here in Chicago, and I'm definitely not ready for snow yet.

On Buffalo wings: I'm 20, and I've never had any either. I'm afraid of them.

generally LUV LUV LUV your stories, but the albee story was boring.

I LOVED the albee story.

I'm in Maine and haven't seen snow yet this year. I don't like driving in it, but I love looking at it. But it's pretty cold here already and with the price of fuel being what it is...by the way, speaking of Canada, here's a website of Canadians who are offering us a way out via marriage

**warning, gross medical stories here, don't read if you're squeamish!**

Hey, no making fun of "medical investigation," especially because "gynecological examination" would actually be quite a fascinating show--when I did my rotation through ob/gyn in med school, we had to work in a clinic in NYC. Not to be gross or anything, but you'd be surprised at the kind of stuff people do and the stories people tell you about what happened. We once had a woman ask us to do a post-coital test (it is just what it sounds like) because she couldn't figure out if her husband was placing his penis in the "right hole." They sent me and another med student to go do it. Turns out he was in the right spot, but had a small penis and just wasn't very good in bed.

There was this one Attending Physician (the head MD) who used to yell (very inappropriately, I might add) at all his female patients who came into the clinic with chemical vaginitis, "NOTHING besides tampons and penises in the vagina! NOTHING!" Us med students used to have to turn away and cough or something to try not to bust out into laughter. To this day, I can still hear him screaming at those women, and want to crack up. It boggles my mind that anyone actually ever came back to see him...

I promise I will never again share gross stories from the medical world.

hmmm... I didn't even have frost on my car this morning. I love New Mexico. ;op

I want more George... he needs his own blog.

I want more George as well. I loved the duct taping pictures. That was great. He does need his own blog.

I can't wait to hear about George's adventures when he's demormonized and leaves BYU!

Looking at the photos in Georges's post... do you get issued the FANTASTIC teeth when you sign up to be a mormon, or is it because everyone in Utah can trace their family tree back to the Osmond clan?

Maggie, I loved the NOTHING story!

The Albee story made be go "awwwww" and sigh.

George SO needs his own blog. But the guest writing on Dooce is good too. Suggestion: George needs is own pull down category.

I've been a vegetarian for a little more than a month now. Personal choice after seeing Super Size Me. But oh how I now crave some buffalo wings!

GEORGE FRICKIN'ROCKS!!!! Where he's going now? I hear OU (Ohio University not Orthodox Union) in Athens (Ohio not Greece) has an opening for an 'interesting' student...I live about 5 hours away but George has a place here in Ohio, if he wants to commute, WHEEEEEEEEEE...

Heather, my husband's purpose in life is to make noises that annoy me. His secondary purpose in life is to someday own an old Ford truck, but even when he's working on that goal (by obsessively surfing used car websites) I know he's also thinking up new irritating noises he can make later on to annoy me with.

OMG Maggie. That was great! Please don't promise not to share anymore... I almost didn't read it because I am squeamish but hahahaha I'm glad I decided not to be a sissy.

Makes me miss my college days. Of course I don't really remember my college days...because I was a little bit too un-Mormon.

Those kids are so adorable. George seems like a very intelligent, kindhearted young man. Fabulous!

Tiffany, it's only illegal when done in the bed of a pick up truck. All other forms of humping are fair game. And yes, if I ever get my mitts on George I plan on breaking MANY laws; but more importantly I plan on breaking the moral code of Mormonism by which he abides.

George!!!

That is all.

I'm to drunk and tired to read...why is that boy letting other boys tape him to a wall?

I was in texas when I wrote the article, I'm now back in Utah, where it snows, like the picture.

george is definitely not gay. women, he is ripe for the taking!
