winter.



I have once again come to the conclusion that winter in Minnesota is not about looking cute. Period. It is currently 5 degrees outside, but with the windchill it feels more like -15 degrees. This is not fun. This means I am wrapped from head to toe in multiple layers, not exactly the most attractive thing. It's easy to tell the difference between those who grew up here and those that didn't. Those that did...look like me. Those that didn't think they can still pull off wearing only a sweatshirt. I could tell by their faces that they regretted this decision.  I am seriously wishing it was summer. Either that, or that I could be somewhere warm.

Oh, and I just wanted to clarify something. We do not say "Yah, you betcha," or "Don'tcha know." At least I don't, or anyone I know. So don't believe any of those stupid movies that make us sound like a bunch of idiots like, Fargo or New In Town (though I will admit I did like this movie). I'll post more about the rest of my day later.

Hope everyone is having a good day. Please, if you live somewhere warm...appreciate it. For me at least?

  2. I know how you feel about people's misunderstandings about where you live. I'm from Ohio, and people always assume I live on a farm, when in fact, I've never even been to one, haha. I'm a city girl!
