"O_O"

Brrrr!  Okay, I know this is hardly original since practically everyone on my f-list is saying the same thing, but it is COLD out there today.

Seriously...so cold.   Freeze-your-butt-off cold.  I'm wearing two sweaters and a scarf and a pair of wool socks and I'm only just reaching a state where I have ceased to shiver.   I look ridiculous. 

Also I am compelled to eat BAD things, like macaroni & cheese.   I sat here fighting the urge for like, an hour...until I finally got up & made some awful Kraft Macaroni & Cheese from a box.  It was delicious, and I have to wonder why since I normally HATE the stuff.  I'm certain it's the animal part of my brain telling me to eat fatty salty cheesy awful carbs because I might DIE if I don't.  Right now, my lizard brain says the perfect follow-up to a huge bowl of awful Kraft Macaroni & Cheese would be a big fat mug of hot chocolate.  I'm telling it to shut the hell up. 

It's not exactly snowing outside...I don't know what to call it.  It's as if all the moisture in the air is freezing & falling, but it's not really snow.  There are no real clouds (in fact the sun is shining in a flat silvery not-warm way)...there's just this frozen mist sifting down lightly.  It looks like powdered laundry detergent.

Days like this, I don't know why the heck I live here.

Poor Meri and all of you Yankees. I watched the news and it made me shiver. I hesitate to tell my northern friends what the temp is here...so I guess I won't, but I am sending keep warm thought to you all. Be careful and don't turn into a Popsicle. BTW...I think the Blue mask is going to be my favorite unless you do a purple one.

This cold is sapping my will to live. If I could hibernate through this week like a bear, I would.
