They've got one for "sunny" and "rainy" and they've even got a sliver-of-a-moon for moon-ish moods.
But no fog.
How do I know?
Well, I entertain myself throughout the day instant message-ing (I'm fairly new to it, so it still holds some charm for me) my husband observations of the weather limiting myself to emoticons only. See, I am lucky enough to have a giant window just a few steps from my desk, whereas he, unfortunately, does not. So, naturally, I fill him in on what's going on outside. He hasn't necessarily asked for such a service, but I'm sure he finds it beneficial. I mean, who wouldn't?
Anyway, today there was fog. And I searched and searched my small box of options for a "fog" or a "fog" replacement, but to no avail! Not a fog to be seen. I even looked for a "frog + Y - R" option, but unless he can interpret "sheep" (why do they even have that option?) as "frog" it wasn't working.
So, I typed him "pizza slice" to which he relied "smiley-at-a-birthday-party" and we continued on with our day.
Now, it's true. I just spent two minutes of your time talking about emoticons, a fact I hoped would never be listed among my achievements, but I thought it worth informing you in case you find yourself in a similar predicament--and you may.
On a more interesting note, it's hot chocolate season.

This post had me laughing! Is there an emoticon for ice rain? Enjoy hot chocolate season. By the way, I tried to find instant Apple Cider at the grocery store and, much to my dismay, there was none to be had.
if only we could always communicate via emoticon. i know for me most of my thoughts fit very well into one of those simple, yet deep illustrations.
i <3 u + fog = pizza slice ;D
Your stories just keep getting better... and make me laugh even more! Random fact about emoticons... When a person uses one at the end of an email to a stranger, the sender is perceived as being more likable than their co-workers, and more of a close friend.
Go figure.
:) (Do I seem more friendly?)
I have entered the world of Jo.
Pizza slice...
Everyone likes pizza on a foggy day. That works just great!

Why don't you make your own emoticon for fog? You can do that with any picture. But you probably already knew that.
Last night I dreamed that you'd updated your blog...funny, eh?
