Nearly six weeks until winter

And it's 24 degrees outside. What in the world was I thinking?

love to you. xxome; 1:27 AM

You want to slap me now, don't you? *grin*; 8:47 AM

Get yourself some winter silks, ugg boots, and the best ankle-length down coat you can find. You'll be fine!; 7:44 PM
Anonymous said...: Rebecca, are you telling P her new life is akin to sitting starving on top of a bus?

She is right-you need to do some serious cold weather shopping. Which, in your case, is nice since you look so pretty in all those fall sweaters. :); 4:49 PM

I am a huge fan of
1) capilene base layers from Patagonia (also they make running pants with extra stuff on them to keep you warm and dry)
2) cute hats from athleta
3) fleece headband/ear covers(your H has watched me install mine with some amusement)
4) toe and finger warmers (I buy at local tack shop, I'm sure they have them at Home Depot)
5) taking a playground ball or soccer ball to kick down the road (distraction gets you going and takes your mind off the cold)

And remember to follow Annie Dillard's First Law of the Outdoors (hereinafter to be known as the FLO): CARRY KLEENEX!
