tracy lynn: you’re the person i want with me the next time i’m plowed in, because i know you would’ve threatened the man w/ the dog into helping us out.
thb: weather-wise, i think you made the right choice!
peefer: you only need to worry when you find duct tape and garbage bags in my trunk… both of which, i think, are actually there.
dop: for all my complaining, i’ll gladly take freezing cold over insufferable heat. at least i can put on more layers in the winter!
shari: lemme ‘splain – i could walk to the el, but the el makes 1,000 stops on the way to the loop, so i take the commuter train instead. much faster, but the station’s about a mile and a half from my house – too far to walk in -5 degrees!

So, um, not being much of a city girl myself, I’m stuck here on the concept of you having your car parked somewhere, even though you’re riding the subway or train or whatever you call it, the L? Um, if you take the train, why do you need your car? And if you take your car, why do you ride the train? Can’t you just run Jen, run?

So far, I haven’t really found it all to be too bad. Yes, it’s cold. But we all know it won’t last, right? Remember those few days last summer when it was so hot we couldn’t breathe? A bike ride from my house to The BF’s place left me dehydrated and ready for my next heart attack.

Okay Jenny, like everything in this story is credible and all, but I’m not buying the bit about the extra hats in the trunk. No one keeps extra hats in the trunk unless they’ve been on a murdering spree and they’re disposing bodies and—
Oh.
Sorry, uh, I really have to go, Jenny. You take care okay.

Hahahaha..you’re totally right. I picked NY over Chicago for my legal career for just that reason. Being from the Deep South, there’s a limit to the cold weather that I can endure!

And I’M the crazy ass scary girl? I can’t remember the last time I threatened anyone with a shovel. OK, that might be because I don’t actually OWN a shovel, but still. Glad to see you have it in you. Well done!

sandra: isn’t that hilarious? so far i’ve seen lawn chairs, weber grills, boards, crates… never an ironing board though!
vivian: hmm. i seem to recall you telling me that every single day in NYC, something triggers your gag reflex. all that sunshine?
karl: wow, i never knew. do long underwear do anything for you?
RW: thanks – so glad my vulgar rants can entertain!
churlita: actually, the buildings just create wind tunnels. and i agree – i couldn’t recognize my own mother in the crowd of coats, scarves, hats, and gloves!
sizzle: i’ll be sure to drop the “m” word once or twice in portland.

I feel your pain. Literally. It’s even colder in Iowa, because there are none of those tall buildings to stop the wind. The only thing I like about it, is that it’s fun to watch everyone walk around so covered up, that no one can tell who anyone else is. It’s like we have a whole town of people who look like the unibomber.

You never fail to crack me up.
