A Nip to the Air

Today is probably the chilliest it's felt in a while, so I might have gone a little overboard with the layers.  I am contemplating turning on the heat, but with the air conditioners still installed it just doesn't seem right.  Also, admitting that I need heat any time before October feels wrong on principle alone.  So, basically layers, my warmth relies on you.  

Go layers!

Happy First Day of Autumn

We got a little bit of snow over the weekend.  It blanketed everything in shimmering white flakes and made it peaceful, quiet, and.....cold.  So very cold.
Hunny bunny & I went for a walk, so I knew I needed to layer up a bit to keep warm.
And since it was predominantly grey/white outside, I thought I'd throw some punchy pops of color into my outfit to brighten things up.

It put me in a happy mood, but it was no match for the 24 degree weather.

At least it kept me upbeat while I was freezing my entire body off.

Sometimes...

Sometimes you're just having one of those days.  You know, it's rainy and gloomy outside and you hurry to make it on time to your friends' house only to find it empty because they all (including your boyfriend) forgot to call to tell you they're going to be late.  And then you park your car and look over to see a strange man sitting in his parked car just unabashedly staring at you while you make every effort to politely ignore him.  But it's still raining so you have no choice but to sit in your car and wait for your friends while the strange man continues to stare in a very disconcerting way.  And then you start thinking about all of this and throw a mini temper tantrum when your friends call you to say they'll be there soon, and actually consider going back home because you're in a rotten mood that's as grey as the weather that's been surrounding you nonstop for the last 3 days.  But you realize it's probably because you forgot to eat lunch and you're feeling cranky.  So when your friends arrive you go and apologize for yelling.  But you're still feeling terrible because one of your best friends is moving to Switzerland the next day.

Well.

That was my day yesterday.

But then my boyfriend handed me a delicious, cold wheat beer.  

And I got over everything.  Except for my friend moving away.

I will never get over that.
