It's really been quite cold outside lately. No fears though... Cami and I have become pretty creative in our efforts to fight off the cold without turning on the heat!
- After you pull your clothes out of the dryer, you should use them as a blanket to get warm before you shake them out and put them away.
- After you cook on the stove, you should warm your hands while it's still hot.
- If you get cold while studying under a mound of blankets, you can do jumping jacks to get warm (it also burns calories and wakes up your brain - it works well!)
- If you need to go shopping, do it at night when you can fully appreciate the heat the stores so kindly provide to those who shop there!
- If you bake in the oven, you should open the door and study near it while it's still hot.
- You should turn your dishwasher on at strategic times that allow you to fully take advantage of the warm steam that billows from it when you open it.
- Finally, if you have already done hundreds of jumping jacks, cooked dinner, washed the dishes, done the grocery shopping, and dried your clothes and you are STILL cold, it's time to shower and blow dry your hair without turning the bathroom fan on!
It's ok to laugh at how pathetic we are! We do too! Despite all of our wonderful ideas, we have finally shivered enough and we caved. We turned our heat on three days ago. Oh how I love the heater! Now it's COLD outside and only kinda cold inside! :)

I have a really good cold dance that will warm you right up if you do it when you are walking around campus and is only slightly embarassing. Just ask Paige.
I saw the -3 in Flag yesterday. I felt sorry for you. I was cold in my house all day and it was in the 60's.
I'm surprised you lasted this long. I will remember these ideas for the future. They might serve me well in tx on the coldest of our cold days.
