It's about -14 degrees and crazy windy outside. The only consolation I have is the hope of fire ants dying by the droves...I really want them to suffer. I want the ground to freeze solid so they are mummified for all eternity and 10,000 years from now some archaeologist will discover them and exclaim "Wow, I didn't know this species of ant ever inhabited this region". But that's about the only thing I am appreciative of at the moment.

Instead I wish were sitting on a Caribbean beach in a bikini watching my kiddos playing in the clear blue surf. While sipping a margarita laughing it up with my best friends in the sand and maybe some volleyball playing without a care in the world.

My perfect world includes me having a home in Australia and one here. That way I'd never have to experience a day when temps drop below 80.
