Winter Weather and Other stuff

Today it was -1 degree when I woke up at 5:20am. That's right...there were no degrees in the air. So what did I do? Decide that between the storms, running would be a good idea. I wore: a pair of compression shorts, two pairs of running tights (my now usual winter running garb), a pair of sweatpants, a moisture-wicking long-sleeved shirt, a Zyflex shirt, a fleece shirt, a lightweight jacket, a pair of running gloves (courtesy of Megan and Bradley), a hat, and of course, shoes and socks. Yes, it was a lot of layers. However, we decided that all of our layers equaled a lightweight running vest. Plus, it was icy, snowy, and freezing outside. We already felt hardcore. Then I was told upon returning to the Y that my eyelashed were frozen. Now THAT is cold. Chris and I deserve medals...we decided this. Even Ironman Buck couldn't handle this morning. Yeah, we are just that awesome.:)

Baking was put on hold due to having to work almost all day Sat. Oh, and I have been organizing. I found at minimum of a dozen pairs of socks without mates. Plus, I found malaria and Traveler's Diarrhea medicine that had expired two and a half years ago. I guess I held onto it anticipating leaving the country again. So sad...a dream put on hold. It is amazing the junk I have and have not even bothered to search through.

Today is Snickers' birthday. He is 14. It is odd after all the things I have had to remember in 14 years, I still know his birthday. Yes, my dog is old.

As we gear up for another snowstorm, bundle up or enjoy warm weather if you live there. Cuddl Duds are my new best friends.

Day 1

Today's first day of the cleaning regime=finding checks from an account closed two years ago, discovering an unopened disposable camera, and a snow globe that is supposed to have a picture in it (it doesn't)...plus tithe envelopes from when I was in college. Boy this cleaning stuff was badly needed....
