way to cold...

I don't like the cold. I don't like it one little bit! Do you want to know why?
Your ears freeze, your hands and fingers freeze, your nostrils and everything inside of them freezes. Then you put your nose in your scarf to get warm and everything in your nose melts so all of the sudden you have a runny nose until you pull the scarf off and then everything that was running from your nose freezes on your face. Not fun.
Also- I have never had to live and drive in the snow before, It is almost fun sometimes just to maneuver the car around and such HOWEVER... it is really not fun when you hit a patch of black ice out of no where and feel the car lose traction underneath you. I don't like that.
Also, you have to RUN from gym to car, to home, to school to car again-if you don't run you will probably turn into a big statue icicle... i don't know that for sure, because i have never stopped running to find out.
It was 5 degrees when we woke up the other morning. That is dang cold.
Amid all of these gloomy occurrences that unfortunately take place when it is Eskimo weather- i found the silver lining on the rain cloud.

This tree was covered in frost, but looked beautiful! Doesn't it look like you could just walk up and lick off some yummy frosting?

I love it!

We have been doing some fun things in the cold as well...sledding is really fun, until your hands go numb and your fingers snap off like twigs. That is no fun. (to gruesome?) sorry!



This is me EVERY NIGHT. Gettin my warmth in front of the heat dish!!
Thank you Jill for getting it for us- I would be oh so very cold without it. ( i might have tried something really drastic by now if i didn't have the heat dish, like climb in the oven or something!)

Wish me warmth!,

My heat dish used to be my bff until it started buzzing at me randomly and scaring the crap out of me! I'm so glad you have moments of warmth at night. I really don't know how you are handling that kind of cold- 5 degrees? Talk about the bitter. At least you are now more fully aware of the "sweet" that is california.
