The cold is bad, and I'm getting pretty sick of the snow, too. It's not like it's been a record amount here in Pittsburgh, but it's doing it all day every day so that you're never done clearing it off. And every time I need to go somewhere, I have to clean the car again.

At least I had the sense to buy an insulated, oversized pair of boots on Saturday so that all this snow removal isn't taking too much of a toll on my feet. And one of my Christmas gifts was one of those silly wool ski hats with the flaps and the ties that the kids wear. Hey, I'm not laughing at them any more.
