Oh, the weather outside is frightful......


Brrrr! That's about all I have to say.

Today is SO cold. The wind just blows right through you. And, in the lovely city of St. Louis, it is ILLEGAL to warm up your car! Illegal! Can you believe that?! Nothing like getting in a freezing car in the morning and have your steering wheel still be cold when you pull into the parking lot at work!

BUT, I shouldn't complain too much..... we were some of the fortunate few to not lose power during last weekend's storm. For those of you who lost power and are still without power (Val, Aunt Gina!), please know that Keith and I are praying for you each and every night!!! Hang in there!

Then I think about my mom and aunt who are mail carriers. They have to work in the weather no matter what! Through wind, rain, sleet, hail.... or however the saying goes.....
My heart just goes out to them. Every time I step outside and my nose instantly freezes-I think of them being outside all day long. They are stronger than I am. I could not handle it for one day, much less every day.

I know this post is pretty much about nothing, but the cold is all that is on my mind right now. I guess it is because my fingers still haven't warmed up from gripping the cold steering wheel on my way home from work.

But, I can look forward to holding a cup of hot tea! Mmmmm.....

Oh Corie Rae,

Suck it up a little, a cold car is better than a stolen car:) Maybe you could take some hot tea in a travel mug!
