Brrrr it's cold outside! Yesterday
Brrrr it's cold outside! Yesterday it was a high of, like, 15 degrees with a windchill of -3. Today it was somewhat warmer, around 20. But still DARN cold. I'm sooooo glad it's cold, though, because the fun factor of going to someplace warm in the middle of winter is raised like 20% when the people at home are suffering through frigid weather. <.g> I suppose I shouldn't complain about the cold, though... in high school we had Cold Days (like snow days, only no snow) because the windchill was -47. Now THAT is cold. First time finals got postponed in 17 years that year. Lol. Apparently, though, the record windchill low for Chicago is -88. Thank God I didn't have to suffer through that.
But anyway, in just under 36 hours I will be on a plane headed southwards! Southern Caribbean, here I come! Very excited. <.g> Today I bought two dresses, since we have two formal nights. I was only going to buy one, and use my homecoming dress from senior year in high school, but both dresses were on a REALLY good sale. One was only $51, marked down from, like, $125! No complaints. =) So one is short and black and only has a strap over one shoulder. It's pretty simple, but cute. And flattering, which is ALWAYS a good thing. The other is long and black (good thing, since I only have black shoes) and has a little bit of beading over the chest and down a little ways. Also flattering. Both minimize the bust AND the waist. Woohoo!!
So tomorrow I need to paint my toenails (sandals definitely require cute toes <.g>), finish packing, go to the bank... and talk to Carolyn. Carolyn, where are you?? I haven't talked to you in DAYS. Lol.
Okay, so all of a sudden, spell checker is not offered for free? Weird. Heck no, I'm not paying just to be able to spell check. ha ha. Strangely enough, I spell checked the post I posted this morning... why is it different now? Oh well. <.shrug> So don't blame me if I misspelled stuff. Ha ha. I am completely dependent on technology as far as spelling goes. <.g>
