The other night it got down to 25! brrr! But I am sure it will be 75 again in a week. Austin weather is sporatic, but it can get very cold. Also, I will be in Madrid all winter, which is pretty dern chilly... so i will definitely need to purchase a jacket. To top it all off, I am a BIG sissy, so when the weather drops below 60, I complain.
Barb -- Austin IS fun, I agree! I love the greenbelt, shoal creek, town lake, whole foods, central market, zilker park (the lights and tree are fun!), great restaurants, the laid back people, good music venues, and (of course)-- UT! I live right by campus, across from Trudy's. Nevertheless, I would take loved ones over Austin anyday. Home is truly where the heart is.
Ruchie -- do all orthodox Jews not give presents for the holidays? The b-day jacket sounds nice... I bet you got a lot of joy from giving it to him! I am like that, too... I would rather give then get!

Wow Shanna it already got down to 25 degrees!! Yes that is cold and I do remember some of those cold days. Zilker park was one of our favorite places to take our boys. They looked forward to the train ride.
Our favorite date night was at the Oasis. I miss Whole Foods and the Central Market at lunch time. What I miss the most is how friendily people are.
Ruchie Texas can get cold and snow, but usually in the Panhandle (northeast Texas). Austin doesn't get snow, but does get freezing rain. My oldest son's preschool brought in a large pile of snow every winter for the kids to play in.
Ruchie thanks for asking about Nursing School. After completing my CNA class I am now on a one and half year waiting list to get into Nursing School - thanks to budget cuts.
I applied for CNA positions at two hospitals in my area and one hospital has a "Nurse of the Future Program", which will pay 100% of my schooling. It will cost around $10,000.00 for a two year RN program. It will great to be debt free.

I heard on the radio this morning that you aren't supposed to vaccuum up pine needles? I don't know why...but I think they said it makes it stink?
I really am not sure how you are supposed to get rid of the pine needles then...they never got to that part...But just a little FYI for ya! LOL

They do stink - but it's worth it to get those darn needles up! LOL The windows will probably already be open since the guys are going to be lugging the Christmas tree up the stairs and setting it up (they don't know this yet.. LOL).. and they always reek of cigarette smoke.
Thanks for the reminder about opening the windows though!
