It's COLD

We've had a pretty mild winter thus far. The massive snow storms that terrified me before I moved out here haven't happened yet. Fortunately for us, they've been a bit west (Chicago had a bad one before Winter Break, Denver's airport kept closing). I've been pretty proud of myself for adapting to the cold thus far. I didn't even think it was that cold when it was in the mid 20's.

But lately - I don't know what it is...maybe it's the single digit wind chill (what the hell does 0 feel like anyway?), or the almost constant cloudiness (so you can't even pretend it's warm), but I've hardly wanted to go outside lately unless I absolutely have to. I park as close to store entrances as possible, just so I don't have to be outside for any longer than necessary. Yes, I know I voluntarily moved to Michigan, but I can still whine about cold weather. It's my god-given right as a Californian!

We got our MAP assignments yesterday. I didn't get one of my top ones, but it's a cool project so I can get excited about that. I'm also officially done with recruiting. I am super excited about where I'll be working this summer. I'm still not going to say where I'm going, but life is good.
