Cold cold

It's really cold today. Cold like the high temperature for today was at 4:00 this morning and the temperatures will drop all day and it will be windy and grey and horrid. And there might be snow. Or freezing rain.
Really cold.
And this morning, Bean tried to wear Capri jeans that she wore yesterday. Oh, and also the day before. I said, "It's going to be really cold today, you need to find some real jeans."
She said, "I can't find any."
"Look in the laundry room."
"I did. There aren't any jeans in there at all." Uh-huh. I walked her into the laundry room, picked up two pairs of appropriate jeans and tossed them to her.
"It helps to actually ENTER the laundry room if you're looking for something, you know, IN the laundry room."
For the love of blind sheep.
is it Friday yet??
I am really looking forward to Friday for several reasons... it is the book club day and that's always fun - and I finished the book a whole week early!!
Friday is also the first day that we will not be connected to the old house. For better or worse we are done with that pit on Thursday. The junk guys are coming between 2 and 4 and then I'm cleaning and then I'm not ever going back. I am ready to focus on the new house. Ready to find permanent homes for all of the stuff we own and ready to get rid of the things we really don't need. Like the four potato peelers we have. Seriously, four. I also found three pizza cutters. The most surprising thing to me was that I only actually own one corkscrew. You'd think I'd have five or six of those puppies laying around in various rooms of the house. Lord knows I drink wine more often than I peel potatoes.
Especially now that Country Crock is doing all the work and all. (Have you tried them? They're like honest-to-spud potatoes! The garlic ones rock).
I tried to make dinner last night. I did!! But after I pulled out all of the ingredients I couldn't find the pan I needed. Anywhere. I checked the cabinets and the boxes in the kitchen, then I checked the boxes in the dining room and the living room. I sent Bean to look in the boxes in the bedrooms and then I gave up, put everything else away and called for pizza. Screw it. (In a sick twist of irony, the husband couldn't find a pizza cutter in the drawer and said he thought we needed to buy one. I found the one I kept and managed to refrain from smacking him.
I need to go to the store... I have a feeling that wine is something I'm going to want on hand for the remainder of the holiday season.
Cheers!
So the sleet has started... it looks like rain but is much louder. I wish I were home in pj's, drinking coffee and knitting. I wish I did not have to go to class today. I wish the sleet would turn to snow - prettier and less likely to cause me to fall on my ass. My office has a big window that is right behind my chair. It is never warm enough here. I am frantically trying to come up with a reason not to go to class... but we have presentations today and then there is only one more week left.
Everybody stay warm and drive safe!!
