IT'S FREAKISHLY COLD

I just checked the temp on the local news website and it is -1 degree with a windchill of -16. That is cold. When we left this morning to take Jake to his first morning of basketball, it was -24 with the wind. Wow!! Allie had a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's this afternoon & there were very few parking spots, so I had to brave the cold to drop her off & pick her up....it was just brutal!!

So, now that I am at home I have turned on the fireplace, begun sipping on a cup of hot cocoa, covered myself with a warm blanket & decided to spend the afternoon on the couch playing on the laptop & watching Lifetime...did I mention that I don't have to leave the house until Tuesday morning?? I don't think that I will either!

Think warm thoughts, please!!
