    A Girl in the Curl is back in school

    Still no sign of it 2 years ago

    It isn’t nearly as cold as I had feared.
    I keep hearing “oh, you just wait!” and I know it’s coming
    but I spent a year in Minnesota.
    I may be out of training,
    but I forgot I have done it before.

    Bah.
    New York
    You don’t scare me.



    I think prep time 2 years ago

    is over.

    I now have a long coat, snow boots, plastic on my windows, & a humidifier beside my bed, and i’m about to hunker down for the winter. (I’d rather hibernate, but a girl’s gotta eat, & food doesn’t grow on trees in these parts leastwise not in the winter!, so i suppose i have to work.)



    So, at work yesterday, 3 years ago

    one of my co-workers said, “It’s going to be nice this weekend: it’s supposed to get up into the 40s.” I laughed: are you kidding me???

    Can i cry now, or will my eyes freeze?

    Well, at least i now have a long coat and one of my new pairs of snow boots (so i can stop wearing my approach shoes in the snow & ice).

    Holy Moly 3 years ago

    this is uncalled for!
    What the heck!?



    A Girl in the Curl is back in school

    Yay! 3 years ago

    Thanks To Hunnypie alerting me to the “cool mist humidifier” I found one on ebay for 15 bucks, shipping included.

    My skin, and my nostrils thank you, Lady!
    ::big hug!::



    Bought a cool mist humidifier today, 3 years ago

    and, of course, i had to take a nap so that i could try it out as soon as i got home from Target. Love it! Maybe now i’ll stop waking up every morning with a sinus headache and blood in my nose!

    I mean, really. 3 years ago

    What’s New York trying to prove, anyway?

    It’s cold?
    Ok, you’re cold! so what?
    stop it already!

    I get it! Brrrr!
    I get it!

    gah!



    When a friend of mine told me 3 years ago

    the leaves would disappear earlier this year than i’m used to, i didn’t realize this was what he meant!



    A Girl in the Curl is back in school

    I discovered this about myself 3 years ago

    I prefer the cold.

    You can always add layers, you can throw on extra blankets, but last summer (my first experience with a New York Summer) nearly killed me.

    I’ve been to hot, humid places. I prefer the chill, crisp mornings.

    I got all excited today, when I woke up and my digital radio shack temperature gauge said 42o

    The first thing I did this morning—was open the window!

    Ahhhhh.
    Smell that cool air!!
