This is the one thing I hate about living in New England. The cold. And when I say cold, I mean high of 32 degrees (that would be freezing for those of you playing at home), blustery wind making your bones ache cold. My face and hands are red, flaky, and dry, my lips are cracked no matter how many times I apply the lip balm, and my feet are ice cubes.
This weather makes my apartment an icebox too, so I'm even more cranky than normal. The wind sways my apartment (yes, the house actually moves!) and makes me dizzy sometimes while other times keeps me awake because I can hear my necklaces clinking together inside my jewelry case. I cover myself in head-to-toe fleece when I am home, plus wear an electric blanket throw, and I've never taken faster showers in my life (I've even considered showering in clothes because it is so cold!) I am miserable and counting the seconds until spring, or at least my next vacation!

The one positive in this economic nightmare...
Today I filled my gas tank for $1.83/gallon. I had to restrain myself from breaking out in a crazy dance of joy. No if I could only stop commuting 100 miles a day, I'd be golden!

Reasons I Miss Vacation...
Fresh back from 11 days in the sun, I've discovered how much I wish vacation lasted all year. In no particular order...
1) 10 hours sitting on an airplane or in an airport. Delays suck. Especially when you don't really want to go where your trying to get to.
2) Why oh why did I only get six chicken nuggets when I ordered an eight piece nugget meal?
3) Lugging that suitcase up three flights of stairs is no fun. How the heck did it get so heavy while I was gone, anyway?
4) The apartment is cold and there's no food other than what's in the freezer or the things in the back of the pantry that you've been avoiding for months.
5) Lazy neighbors. Does no one do anything around this house other than me? I mean really, is picking up that rake I left right there by the door really that difficult? Or pulling the vacuum out into the hall for a quick sweep?
6) Who the hell let the cat into the garage to climb all over my car?! My car is my baby and to come home to a hundred little dirty footprints on the hood, up the windshield, all over the roof, and down the side of her is not what a girl likes to see in the morning!
7) Drunken next-door neighbors. Listen, you idiots, I'm glad you feel the need to be drunk and obnoxiously loud at 3 AM, but I'm exhausted and I have to work tomorrow, so shut the hell up!
8) Unpacking. Enough said.
