Yes, it is true. The deceptively evil four letter word, white frozen puffs that fall from the sky, have officially decided to show up. I have been living blissfully in denial all Fall long that Winter was far from ever reaching us. Even though the Christmas decorations have been up since the beginning of October, and Christmas music has been playing at Walmart since Halloween (huge pet peeves!! Christmas season starts AFTER Thanksgiving!), I have still been able to block the idea of bitterly cold weather out of my mind. That all ended quite abruptly yesterday when customers were coming into work talking about the snow. Yes, SNOW!?! Seeing as how NO ONE knew it was supposed to snow, and still desperately clinging to my state of denial, I didn't believe them. Until I saw it... Falling ever so lightly, but with all the power of Jack Frost himself, I saw it. And felt it. Holy cow it was cold out! At first I had a mix of emotions and questions. How did I not know about this? How could I ever survive the cold and make it home alive in my tiny cardigan? But on the other hand, I might have thought, "Oh how exciting, our first snow." But if asked about it, I will deny it till the day I die :) Turns out I did make it home alive and unfrozen thanks to my trusty little car's heater. I guess it's time to really start getting my winter gear out. Which I wisely did for mine and Hoosier's walk this morning. Ryan even told me when we got back that I was freezing cold and that I smelled like winter. Sad day... But I must give a thank you to North Face for making such wonderful products to protect my poor hands from the freezing cold.
Life lesson learned in all of this winter mess? Living in denial may keep your mind in warm and fuzzy thoughts, but your body frozen. Remember that next year when nature plays evil games on you.
