baby it's cold...

it's getting to be the point of ridiculousness outside with the weather. for the past couple of days it has been insanely cold, super bitter and with the sun only out for 5 hours a day, you basically put your life into the hands of fate that you will withstand frostbite as you leave the warm confines of your home.

lots of things i would like to be doing outside but i feel relatively unequipped...i guess i have the basic elements but this might be the year i invest in a thermal body suit to wear underneath everything i own. i used to be a relative hot box...like i could easily get away with the bare minimal during the winter and not have it matter. anyone who has ever slept next to me would laugh at this whole thing because i'm a human furnace come bed time, but as i've gotten older, my skin must be getting thinner because i can't escape feeling so cold on the outside that it breaks the barriers to my insides.

as we speak i just complained to my mom that it was too cold in the house...the thermostat says like 77 at this point and i want it at 85.

in an effort to ward off the cold weather and look fashionable while doing so i made this purchase tonight. charlie said the plaid was ill but tried to get me to buy a down coat instead...i like this one though so i stuck with it. i was set on the brown but on further inspection at REI with mickey it was determined that the black was a better choice...of course they didn't have my size...the medium wouldn't fit over my boobs...so i had to order it online...only a week or so until total warmness.


till then i'm still on the lookout for the perfect glove/scarf/mittens set...but like i said i think at this point i might need a whole face mask set up to battle this god damned wind...

oh chicago...
time to hibernate...
LOTR marathon here i come...
