COLD

It's cold down here.

Now before all you northerners start calling me a wuss and talk about your months of freezing weather and foot deep snow remember that during the summer months you are pansies who can't take the 100+ heat that is the REST of the year for us Texans. So we'll just agree that you are use to the cold like we are use to the heat and recognize each other's natural habits.

But back to the cold. Seems that there was an Arctic blast (how appropriate a title) that made its way down into the good ol lone star state and kicked our butts with some freezing rain, ice, sleet, and frigid temperatures. Brrrrrrrr and yuck. The temperature isn't the biggest problem, nope that would be the ICE. See we Texans are not exactly privy to lots of hands on experience when it comes to driving on ice. We own no snow tires or chains and we drive one speed . . . fast (as can be vouched for by some northern friends who were a bit scared to witness the sport that is driving in Texas). Ice puts a damper on the whole speed thing and well ice also turns what might be a "not so bad driver" into a loose cannon on wheels.

Alas, instead of playing Russian roulette with the skills of the drivers in my area I was pretty much housebound for the weekend. We cancelled church (as did many many others as I watched the list scroll across the screen on Sunday morning) because of the weather conditions and I was well stocked on food (made a run on Friday night - just in case you know). So I caught up on movies, did a little bit of unpacking (I know, I moved three months ago but really it takes about six months to be fully unpacked in my opinion), and generally just lolly gagged around (I'm bringing that phrase back).

So how was your weekend?
