I'm So Excited.....

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it! Cold weather has arrived. I get to have frozen fingers and toes. My flip-flops will look great with my sockies with toes on. No more getting hot and wearing out my deodorant just after I put it on. Greggie Boy on WRAL is excited, too. Temperatures are dropping and noses are red and dripping! Such fun... we may be down to 15 degrees by morning.
Haven't had so much fun since last February or whenever we had temps like this before.
There will probably be frost on my windshield and I will get to scrape and scratch it until I can get my car to melt it. I will get to wear my gloves and wipe my nose with the back of my hand 'cuz I can't get to my Kleenex with my gloves on.

If you go outside you can blow your breath and see it in the air. That is soooo fun.
I hurried out today, unscrewed the hoses from the house connections so they wouldn't freeze. I also put these little "foam ditties" over the outside faucets. Oh, and then I covered the connections to the irrigation system with a big bale of pine straw and a plastic container so they would be safe. Can't you tell I am so excited I am about to lose control....and I think I like it? !!!!!!

Don't you just love the cold, cold fingers and toes, wearing your gloves, sockies with your flip-flops, your nose dripping in the cold, scraping ice, and paying more for your heating bill? Aren't you just pumped?

I am really quite excited.

You are so funny! I actually thought of you this morning as I was out doing the early morning route of getting kids to school. I applaud your attempt to think positively...we know how much we really hate the cold. It's time to hunker down with a warm blanket and some hot chocolate and pray it goes by fast!
