What is it with the cold weather lately? I live in the South… we don’t get cold winters except on the rare occasion that Hell freezes over.

22 degrees! Wind chill of 17 degrees!

And it is not February (our coldest month).

And my office is COLD! We don’t keep the heat on during the weekend to conserve energy (and money), but it just ain’t warming up. My tootsies are cold. My hands are cold. Even my uhm…. personals are cold.

And last night I was STUPID enough to run outside in my sleep clothes (I sleep in a t-shirt and shorts) to drip the outside faucets (keep the pipes from freezing) and it was COLD. Yes, I know you can just see me in shorts and a t-shirt running around the house yelling that it is cold (with no shoes on I might add). To make it worse, my son decided to play a trick on me at that time and locked all of the doors. Freezing to death and locked out of the house with little clothes on and no shoes. I stood under the CHA vent when I was let back inside trying to thaw my frozen bones.

And of course the cats had to go outside this morning. No, they didn’t stay out long, but the wind coming through the door as I let them out and in was COLD.

Did I mention it was cold?
