I have a public apology to make. Spangler girls, I am sorry. I am sorry for making fun of you every time I came to your house from November to February for the past two years. I am sorry for endlessly mocking the two sweater, stocking cap wearing, thermal sock sporting, shivering when the door is left open ways. I. Am. Sorry. Really.
Tonight, after not experiencing a fall in 3 years, I am humbled. It is NOT even cold yet. NOT at all. But, it is starting to get that chill in the air. Right now, it is 58 degrees outside and…here it goes…I am FREEZING!?!?! What has happened to my blood? What has happened to my fingers and toes? They look like they belong to E.T. All skinny, shrunken and white with a chill. How will I survive? Will my blood thicken back up? Am I doomed? Will Joe ever let me close the windows? Will I have to have a stocking cap permanently stitched to my head? All of these are questions that plague me. Oh my. I might have to seal myself in aluminum foil for the winter.
Once again, I am sorry, girls. I am freezing. Paybacks are hell.
Notice the open door in the background? Yeah. J.o.e. H.a.g.e.n. If they find me in a block of ice, eternally trapped, find that man.
Get used to it. I still havent’ recovered from my four years . . . and it’s been 8 since . . .
But now you get to wear all the sweaters and yummy accessories you couldn’t while in FL!!
Weenie – you are a born and bred Midwestern Girl…toughen up! I am in a tank top and it’s barely 70 now. Ooooh, poor little girl who lived in florida is chilly – it’s only gonna get colder sweetheart!
Ha.
You know, Em, it only takes a year or so. Florida effects you at your most basic level.
Hang in there, Car. It gets better. You buy a bunch of great coats and scarves – and then, eventually, you don’t get QUITE as cold.
But just think – when everyone else is DYING in the heat this summer, you’ll be in jeans all “wha? hot? pussies.”
You’re cute! Almost as cute as me!
Miss you already my friend. Come see me soon!
