I Can't Believe She Did That!

Oh 2na! I just want to tell you not to worry you will eventually get used to cold winters. I know its hard to believe. Actually It has to be like 40 or below before I'll even consider putting on a coat. AND when its our first 60 degree day whether it is a mid-winter "freaky" warm day or sometime in April people will be out in shorts and tank tops!!! I personally hate snow but I love the changing seasons and appreciate cold winter days...... I just wish they'd only last for 6 or 8 weeks instead of 12+ lol.

Merry Christmas!

hey 2na,

if it makes you feel any better it got nipply this morning around 3am and i used 3 blankets

although they were all quite light blankets, more like sheets..

Awwww poor frozen 2na! Here is my "helpful hint". Always park your car in the garage! When I first bought my own home my husband kept saying...."We are going to park in the garage". I thought he was nuts....the garage was for the excess junk from the house!!! But let me tell you.... (1) winter of never having to de-ice windows or brush off snow or get into a 10 degree car was all I needed!!! Now I NEVER park in the driveway not even in the summer...lol. And that is just hiding from the cold it is great for RAIN too!!!

Of course since you drive the porsche you probably already park that baby in the garage

Merry Christmas!

So I walked outside today in shortsleeves... it was 33 degrees... but I wasn't cold.. No wind. Although my family thought I was crazy for doing errands in short sleeves... *shrugs*  Nothing's worse than bundling up to be outside all of 3 minutes only to walk into an overheated building...

I highly recommend a Heated Blanket for your Car... I have one... I keep it in my backseat... it takes a while for the car to heat up if everything is frozen... blanket is muuuuch faster... bonus if you're about to pick up mini-2na from wherever... defrost your little fishstick-ette...

and if you dread hat hair... I recommend investing in a couple of those headband earmuff things... they're cute... you can toss them anywhere... and when you're ears are cold, everything sucks, so you can avoid that... and don't forget the carmex with all that cold wind!

aww that sounds pretty cold!

its bright and sunny here, just a few clouds in the sky, with light tradewinds

wanna trade for a day? 

aww hot2na...more like frozen-in-the-ocean2na... it's def going to take some getting used to...the winds can be brutal and the worst is when it's as cold as it's been.  it makes it seem 30 degrees colder...and i hate to say this but, your hubby's right...the winds during our hurricane season can be insane...i don't think you've seen your first tree ripped from the ground by the winds here, have you?  it happens a lot.  just keep bundled up.  if you feel like a certain area of your body is starting to hurt while you're out, e.g, fingers, toes, ears, nose- get yourself indoors asap!  frostbite is not fun.  oh and...be prepared...it does get a lot colder than this... 

"Listening to you I get the music.  Gazing at you I get the heat... From you I get the story..."

Here's the  general seasonal rules for the area:

1. It's not the heat, it's the humidity (7-8 more months, and we can expect a blog about that. LOL)

2. It's not the cold, it's the "wind chill factor"!

Yes, my dear Tuna... welcome to winter in PA! *note the first day of winter WAS yesterday, what did you expect? :-? And the winds, well, at least in the summer, it causes a breeze! Even if it is in hurricane force

I feel your pain, trust me I do! My only tips are..

~ invest in a GOOD moisturizer, and mix it with some baby oil in a container to slather on your skin.

~ keep your toes warm, if they get cold forget it, you're done.

~ Mittens!!! Much better than gloves.

~ If you're gonna be outside for awhile, get some Hot Hands don't bother with the "toe warmers" they don't work as good. Get more hot hands, and stick em in your shoes!

~ Hat. A must. Preferably one that covers your ears.

~ Lock & winshield de-icer *note. keep lock de-icer in PURSE, not in glove box, where it renders itself useless when locks are froze You'd be surprised how many people are guilty of this *raises hand sheepishly*

~ Kitty litter, and shovel in trunk ALWAYS! You'll learn quickly why, and how to use such items. Blanket in trunk also!

~ Try and stay away from regular ole "rock salt" get "ice melter" instead. Rock salt can damage the concrete. But it early, as much as we get this stuff EVERY year, it tends to at some point be difficult to find. Go figure *shrugs*

I can't think of anything else right now.

Oh, and welcome to the neighborhood!

Be yourself...... Everyone else is taken!
