Let's Talk About the Weather!!


Can I have a little global warming please? This super cold weather is definitely the yin to our sweltering hot summer's yang. I know I am NOT going to get any sympathy from my northern friends, but y'all have to understand, much like people acclimate to living on the equator, y'all have acclimated to living in super cold. I HAVE NOT ACCLIMATED TO COLD WEATHER. 60 is great to me, 30 sux! The hair on my legs is growing at a feverish pace. I have to MOW my legs daily! It is like an expose' I saw on the fur industry. (You know, the one where they take rabbits and fox and other animals and force them to live in really cold enclosures to make them grow thicker longer fur.) I could grow my own fur coat! It is supposed to dip into the upper 20's here in the Tampa area through the weekend. A cold snap here and there is great, but this is going to be over a week of freezing temps! We went to Target tonight and I bought the last pair of knit gloves in the store. They are absurdly ugly!! They look like your great aunt Myrtle knit them for Christmas! At this point, I don't care. They will keep my hands warm! It is so cold that when Robert rides his bike to work, within 3 minutes he is sleepy and seeing Jesus. Thank goodness we have extra padding on us for insulation. The really great part of this is thinking that in the spring and summer, we should have a lot less bugs around and the fact that this is perfect snuggling weather! Everybody snuggle up and stay warm! Love, Shannon
