My winter skin

my backyard

At the beginning of the winter, I was a total wuss. After just one year down in Norfolk, I was freezing in 40 degree weather. Ugh! How frustrating. I realized it was a big problem the day that Ploth made fun of me for wearing long johns under my pants to work. (In my defense, the pants were really thin and my walk from the train is pretty long.) After seeing how quickly you can lose your tolerance to the cold, I am totally amazed at people like Michelle & Kelin that spent their whole lives in the heat and then relocated to Chicago!!!

Well, just 6 weeks later, I feel like my winter skin is coming back. Thank goodness! I realized it today when it was 27 degrees on the way to work. I had my gloves on, but took them off because my hands were sweating. Ahhhh, that's more like it.
