Hello....This is Florida!!!

Mother Nature has been quite cruel this winter. Now I'm no stranger to harsh winters....I grew up in New Jersey and have gone through more than my share of cold days and freezing nights.

However, when we made the decision to move to Florida a few years ago, one thing I was glad to say goodbye to was the chilling temperatures of the North. I was ready to accept the unbearable summer heat in exchange for the mild, and up until now, quite enjoyable temperatures of the autumn and winter seasons. This year however has brought about no enjoyment and rather a big ol feeling of WTF?!? 19 degrees overnight....defrosting my windshield in the morning before taking the kids to school....turning the HEAT on in the house. We've even got wood for the fireplace....first time EVER I even considered doing so since being down here.

And now....the weatherman is breaking my heart by announcing snow on Saturday. SNOW! Brrr......going back on the couch now with my big blanket, booties and cup of hot tea.
