never go outside!
I walked to work this morning. I will never go outside again. Picture this:
First, I put on a thick sweater, followed by my new Michigan fleece jacket (thanks Cari!) Then, because I can't find my toque (hat for my american friends) I put on my large square scarf that suddenly transforms me into an old granny, and then on top of that is my long green scarf (thanks Becky J) Followed by my big winter coat that is suddenly alot tighter over all these layers. I pick up my bag, throw on my mittens and walk bravely out the door.
And feel like I am suddenly in a deepfreeze.
I forgo the side walks, because I am not sure where they are, and walk on the road. It is eerie and empty because no one else is stupid enough to walk anywhere! As I push against the wind, most of my body has instantly gone numb, except my forehead. Did I tell you that I lost my toque? My forehead began to ache... immediately. I get to the end of my block and realize that my glasses are freezing to my head. I quickly take them off and realize that my scarf has turned to ice from the moisture of my breathe, and I have 3 or 4 blocks to go yet!
I try to cover my forehead with my mitten as I continue to push pass the wind. But then I find i'm loosing my footing and before I know it I am on my butt in the middle of the street and close to tears! I help myself up and just pray that I make it there!
So I get there (resembling a frozen popsicle by this point) and have to take off my mitten to get to my keys. I think I frostbit my finger about a month ago, so the cold immediately attacks as I fumble to get the right key. I finally get inside, run to my office and slowly unlayer.
AND i give you just one piece of advice... NEVER, and I mean NEVER go outside if you can avoid it!
