Its cold. I mean really cold. 6 weeks ago we were dying of humidity and now we can see our breath in our living room. What happened? Gah! This morning it was 20 degrees outside and that did not include the wind chill! Gah! We are talking some serious cold.
We've also noticed that cold weather does not travel alone. It brings along a very special friend, static electricity. This has turned our loving home into a static mine field where we have become balls of electricity who mortally wound each other if we make contact. Gah!
Though we are only a week in (and probably have 6 months left), this is what we have learned so far:
1. Touching inside the our house is very dangerous.
2. Weight loss and weight management in winter is near impossible. Stuffing your face with casseroles, stews and soups are the only ways to stay warm.
3. Working a mile from your home almost always guarantees that your car's heater will finally kick on the minute you drive into your work's parking lot. brrrrrrrr. and...
4. Wind chill is not your friend.
As a California girl, I am totally unprepared. I happily drop kicked my gloves last May and now have no idea where they are. ::smacks head::. Apparently I didn't realize we had to do this every year...oops!

I absolutely love your take on static electricity along with the rest of winter! As a tip, keep dryer sheets and static guard in your purse so you have them when the static is at it's worst!! Or better yet come back to sunny SoCal...
