Long Johns should be worn INDOORS. Don’t even bother going outdoors. Don’t even look at the outdoors, unless you have Long Johns for your eyes. It’s that cold. Just grab some comic books and some hot chocolate and go back to bed. When it’s nice out, someone will tell you.

You need that new anti-freeze mascara.

I loved the descriptions.

Stay warm. I use to wear silk thermals under my other thermals. I do not like to be cold.

I don't know what the hell is going on.... when I got home Strider was hiding and when he sees Arwen he totally flips out, acts like she is an alien. I kept them separate for about an hour and a half and he chilled. just let her into the kitchen and he is flipping out again. before she came in he was fine with both Arragorn and me. she is not acting particularly off, just a little confused.

when your nostrils start freezing to each other you know it's pretty damn cold. I have not had heat in my home since my a$$hole contractor ruined it. a couple of free standing heaters is all I have, when winter fully sets in it's pretty difficult to get it over 54

I am ending my love affair with Siri. She refuses to speak properly, even in Japanese. I kept asking her for directions to a hotel in Kyoto, and she adamantly REFUSED to even find the correct city! Only when I called it by its incorrect name, did she cooperate!
Kyoto is two syllables. Kyo-toe. Siri insists that it be called by three syllables. Key-oooh-Doe. I'm thinking of asking for my ring back.

You should hear what she (and her brother Google Maps) does with all the Hawaiian street names. Like Kapiolane, Kalanianaole, Haleiwa, and that all time favorite Likelike!

Nolikenolike, eh?

Yes, but it's too far from here for a day trip.
On the other hand, while she can't find my city, she knows how to find my house... without even telling her my exact address. Is she a stalker?

Getting tired of the cold/dry weather. It isn't snowing and there's hardly any white snow in the inner city left. We do have slush, either frozen or slushy depending on the time of day. My skin's dry and even using body butter twice a day doesn't get rid of the itchiness.

How many calories in body butter?

But I was beginning to think I had fleas... I have a bamboo back scratcher next to the bed, another next to my computer, and one in my bike saddle bags! I hate putting any kind of lotion or cream on my skin. No matter what it 'actually' is, my brain tells me it's greasy, and I can't stand greasy any more. Maybe it's an overcompensation from my biker trash days... I don't know. Sometimes I think I have a Lady Macbeth Complex!

I use Dove's body butter and that only stays greasy/oily for a couple of minutes, I also hate it when my skin stays sticky after using moisturisers. For my arms I use a Lush massage bar daily (in winter the Wiccy and in summer the Each Peach), which smells yummy. Normally it's just my lower legs and arms that need moisturising but now it's most of my body that's gone dry.
