Ummm... Thanks?

so the day before yesterday i was freaking out about our balmy winter. then i wake up on wednesday to temperatures below freezing! was this supposed to allay my fears and paranoia? i wasn't going to think to hard about it. no siree! i just pulled on a winter outfit i had been dying to try out, especially the sweater in "burnt sienna". and it was wool. and i am allergic. i did make every effort to line but, by lunchtime, i was wondering what i had been thinking when i got up in the morning.

then midmorning someone says - is it snowing? lo and behold, if you squinted enough you could see flakes. our first snow of the season! the longest we have gone without snow. central park recorded "a trace". so we didn't even get a fraction of an inch and it was all gone like 10 minutes later. but apparently it doesn't take much to appease the masses.

today we are back at late fall temperatures but when we spend our weekend in light jackets and wade through the rain, not the snow, we can tell ourselves - yeah but it was freezing cold on wednesday.

true story!

Just playing, My landlady for some reason, only turns on the heat during the daytime (when noone is at home.

Don't jinx it, better not to talk about the weather, maybe it will stay warm all winter.

Who cares if global warming sinks New York!???
