My throat has betrayed me and has made it impossible for me to swallow without wanting to shriek in agony. My ears are also starting to feel the side effects. I'm still in my PJ's, haven't brushed my teeth (because I didn't want it to interfere with my OJ consumption), I've just spent way too long researching chocolate wedding cakes - hey, at least it's better than watching Maury!

Oh and it's snowing outside...again.
Having grown up in the desert and not ever experienced "Real Winter" I start to notice and ponder things about winter, that have been apparent to most people.
There are different levels of winter and I determine them by fashion.
Unfortunately Blogger is being evil and will not allow me to upload more pics...
#1) 45 degree winter:
At the beginning of winter you think this is really cold. You put on your winter coat, but no hat or scarf yet. Just the warm, bulky winter coat for now. Scarves are an accessory, not a necessity at this point.
It's interesting because once you are in the depths of winter your attitude changes. And if you get a 45 degree day you think that's warm, and might as well go out in flip flops and shorts!
#2) 30ish degree winter:
Brrrrr... it's starting to get really crisp and wintry. This is the moment where we bust out our cute matching hat and scarf sets. It's okay if they are more trendy then they are warm. You want to look like a cute snow bunny. Mittens are all the rage in this weather.
#3) 20 degrees and below winter:
All fashion choices go out the window. You put on as many layers as you can. You don't care what matches. The big ugly fur hat, doesn't have any problem going with the heavy brown scarf and big puffy, purple jacket. Gloves might look like the ones your Mom uses for gardening. It ain't pretty.
This photo represents what I'm talking about. Notice the pajama pants...
#4) Zero Degrees and below winter:
This was me on Monday. If you leave the house, you will look like this:
I'll never let go...
