Simply put...it's REALLY cold.

It's cold...and I mean really cold up here this week. This morning as we were driving to work the temperature was -22 degrees!!!! And that's not counting the windchill. Ouch - literally. It hurts to be outside for more than a minute. You know you live somewhere that is insanely cold when they do news stories about how you can freeze a banana outside and then use it as a hammer. Seriously. Here's the link to a video demonstration.

Even though I complain about the weather here a lot, there is still no chance of us moving anytime soon (unless we won the lottery or the HGTV Dream House, which Kurt always reminds me we wouldn't be able to keep without our good jobs anyway). So, tomorrow and for many moons after that, we will continue to embrace this bloody cold weather...and will start thinking about paint colors for the inside of my beautiful, beach front condo in the South that I will be retiring to in 25 or so years. Smile.
