FRIGGIN COLD

"Friggin Cold". This is another phrase I have learned here in Minnesota. I think it is a cute phrase, especially when we use it in jest. However, sad to say, we have meant it every time we have used it in the past few days. How low below zero have we been? Well, as we here like to say, who cares! Once it is below zero, well, cold is cold. Freezing is freezing.

On the bright side, according to our weatherman (or the one I listen to, on KARE 11), we are to get up into the mid 30's by Sunday. This will seem like heaven......bring out the shorts! JUST KIDDING!

It is Christmas Eve day as I write and I can see the sun beginning to shine this early morning day. The crowds will be in the stores, the cold will rip through our bodies as we are out and about, but that is ok. If the sun shines, all is right with the world.

Thankfully, I've all my shopping complete, but will I be out? I shall. Only for a couple of things, which, with the crowds that shall also be out, will take 10 times as long to get.

I wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.
