Brrrrr!

Our mornings are usually all the same. We have a routine, and it works well for us. Typically The Mr. leaves after waking me up and making me check my BS before telling me goodbye, then I go back to sleep for an hour before getting up to start my day. He also sends me a text and lets me know how the cars are and if he took care of it or if I need to plan on leaving early so I have time to scrape the ice or brush the snow. This morning his text said "there is lots of ice, I scraped but did not get it all. It is frigid out here!"...boy was he right!

I got up when my alarm sounded and got ready in record speed. When I headed down to my car (about 15 minutes earlier that I normally do) I was greeted by frozen sidewalks with ice, and a sheet of ice over every inch of my car. Usually I put my purse and lunch bag in the car, start it and start scraping while it warms up. Good plan, yes? Well, it is a great plan when your car wants to start! That's right, my little silver rice rocket would not start this morning! Perhaps it was too cold for its Florida roots?

Eventually, my loved car decided to start. I am not sure the reasoning for the delay or stubbornness, but I am blaming the bitter cold. I was curious as to how cold it was and what my thermometer in my car would say. Once the car started, I got my answer! You are reading that right, it was-6 outside. Actually, weather.com said it was -8...anyways! I know I will be staying bundled up and warm today, that's for sure!

Oh, and next week? It is going to be in the high 40's-close to 50. How crazy is that!?!
