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.

Not quite so cold in Tokyo but I know where you are coming from. I put on several extra layers internally when I go skiing. All those hotel buffets make it quite easy in fact...

Just as long as your fingers are warm enough to work, you'll be fine and chipper! I am being inspired by you and working like a little busy bee.

I really think there's some deep biological trigger that goes off in our bodies when the weather gets cold and dark...makes me want to eat carbs and chocolate in an unhealthy way. I fight it, but I lost the battle today Andrea: 0...Kraft Macaroni & Cheese: 1.

I am a busy bee though! Makin' stuff.
