Le...I'm trying to picture "too hot".<br /><br />Let me tell you about the cold in Minneapolis. <br /><br />I have been wearing leggings (foot-less socks that run from ankle to mid-thigh) since October. I expect to take them off in April.<br /><br />You cannot go outside without dressing for 10 minutes first. Please be sure to figure this into your schedule. <br /><br />The inside of my nose seems to freeze. We'll not look any further into that.<br /><br />My eyes water with the cold, my nose turns red, and my lower lip threatens to split with chapped-ness.<br /><br />The car has to run at least five minutes before you put it into gear. You'll want to figure that into your schedule as well.<br /><br />I could go on, but the upshot here is that winter is painful and inconvenient and should be avoided at all costs.<br /><br />Now go take a cool bath and powder liberally. <br />:-)<br /><br />PearlPearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261369905176088917noreply@blogger.com
