Things you learn when it is -23 degrees out...

  • Little shoes aren't just for mini horses- dogs need moon boots.
  • Start your car, like, yesterday if you want it to 1. start 2. move
  • Warm head trumps good hair. Wear a hat.
  • Work at home for as long as you possibly can. Simply avoid the outdoors.
  • Lack of long underwear does NOT make you a gladiator. WEAR IT.
  • Cans or bottles of anything should not be left in the car, unless you want to be licking beer off the ceiling come spring.
  • Everyone you know everywhere else in the country is aware of how f-n cold it is and sends condolences. (i.e."hey, we haven't spoken in in a year... sure is cold where yer at! Better keep warm") Uh- thanks for the advice!
  • Body parts can and will freeze off. Not that any of mine have. But in this damn weather you don't questions these things!
  • Layers layers layers.
  • Moving to Fargo was a dumb idea.

Miss you! It wasn't an all around bad idea ... just right now and for the next few months.

Aw...you're making me homesick for Chicago!

And hey, beer on the ceiling is a perfect excuse for a party. The fact that my liquor exploded all over my car was my first excuse for a Stock my Bar party. :-)
