Warning: Winter Weather Coming

I am going through withdrawals: sunshine, green things, warm skin, feeling in my toes. I thought this disgusting thing called winter in January was over. It was 70 degrees this weekend (which we took full advantage of). But then the weather man tells me this morning that more winter weather is heading our way. And that tomorrow, and especially Wednesday, the temperature will have a hard time getting above freezing. Great.

I am going to have to work overtime this week imagining my own little world where it is 86 degrees and so sunny it almost hurts to open your eyes. And there will be plenty of black-out sunglasses, floppy straw hats, soft green grass, and popsicles that stain your lips red.

I think owning this swimsuit will make this imaginary world seem more real. At least that's how I justify this purchase. And then I can put it on, lay in bed under a mountain of blankets, and imagine my glamorious self right in the middle of the dog days of summer.

A day of rest

Much like the rest of the weekend, today was a good day to sit at home and do nothing. So that's what we did.

I went with my parents' to check out some new tents in preparation for our May camping trip. And we had some lunch. Then later, I came over to do laundry and hunted around my their house for some of my old stuff. Andrew joined us for grilled hamburgers and we have a huge container of baked beans sitting in our fridge now. I promise I have never seen so many beans in all my life.

Also, we inherited a new microwave today. It is most decidely better than our old one. So, I am very pleased with it.

It is getting super cold tonight. What the heck is up with the weather?! I'm glad the plants out back haven't started coming up yet or they might freeze (I'm such a nerd).

Who wants to go back to work tomorrow? Not me.
