mY MORNing

Picture this...it's a pleasant -12 degrees here in Minneapolis without the windchill.
  1. I wake up to a frozen nose, NOT wanting to get out of bed.
  2. Put on more layers just to get up and get ready for work. My condo unit has dropped to 50 degrees.
  3. I throw all the clothes I'm going to wear for the day (including long underwear) in the dryer to get them nice and warm.
  4. Watch TV in hopes that my work will be running across the bottom of the news with all of the school cancellations. No such luck.
  5. Get dressed. Put on my down coat, a hat, two scarves, two sets of mittens and sinch my hat. I wish I still had my ski goggles at times like these.
  6. I walk to the front door and actually whimper out loud - just dreading what's about to come.
  7. I die.
  8. Just kidding. My prep work actually paid off. Wasn't horrible. Except for my eyes watering making my mascara run.
  9. Then I think to myself, why do I live here?

I ask myself that every morning I was in town this month! I've tried to quit blogging or making Facebook references to the cold... depresses me :(
