Baby it's cold outside...

While my lovely SoCal has had temps in the 80's this week, I am stuck in the Arctic weather of Wisconsin, which is, at this time, colder than Alaska (which in some areas is as warm as 45 degrees!!) WTF.

This was the reading on my car this morning - actually it bottomed out at -18 but I was driving at the time and you know, not really safe to snap a picture and drive at the same time. Please note too that I am getting up there in miles considering I've had my lovely little cobalt for a whole 8 and 1/2 weeks!!
The wind is also howling outside the capitol which makes me fear it feels like -50! Being a SoCal girl through and through now, I can't handle this! I'm crabby and cold - bitterly cold - and I want it to be over. It was only an hour ago (about 2 pm) that I crawled out of my hefty winter boots and took my scarf off!
I know that most of you reading this are sharing the pain of this weather with me, but for those of you (whom I love dearly) who dare to tell me (again) that your 40 degree evening is a bit "chilly" I'm going to yell at you. Loudly.
The only upside of this weather is that I recently became the proud owner of a SNUGGIE!! Which, I'll be honest, when I first saw it I thought it was a little ridiculous! However, after a weekend of reading with trying to figure out how to keep my arms warm it became the perfect thing ever. My colleague gave it to me today and I can't wait to try it out tonight (while wearing 4 layers underneath of course!!)!!!

That is hilarious Jake - and I do look like I could cast some pretty awesome spells - or sing in a really funky church choir! I will say that it is warm and cozy though and despite being funny, it's functional! :)

My kids keep begging me to buy them a snuggie--they will be so jealous when I tell them you have one!
