I forgot how delightful a one and half year old can be. Especially at meal times. When he eats precisely two foods. Bananas and cheese. Everything else gets smeared, crumbled, mashed, mangled and otherwise disassembled and thrown over the high chair tray. I spend way too many minutes in a day on my hands and knees picking shit off the carpet. We are not amused.
We spent the weekend with a bunch of awesome friends who came from far and wide, stayed up too late, ate the world’s most fabulous expensive pizza and had a great time. It was awesome. I am exhausted. I am too old for this. Yes. Too old for a good time.
Also, you know how people say a wet cold feels colder? No? Well they do. And it turns out they are right. All this time I’ve been revelling in the warm weather here in Southern Ontario and when it finally dipped below zero yesterday it was cold! It was only minus two but it felt like about minus 10. Not a mind-numbing cold. But still, I was very surprised. And so, dear reader, another target for future complaining. I know! You’re thrilled! As am I!

I should have warned you. As soon as it dips below zero, you have to subtract an additional 7 degrees from the forecast; the humidity kills you. It took me forever to figure out to dress for this Eastern weather. Have fun this winter

It’s great hearing you talking about this… Since I was always the one to talk about the differences from Ontario to Saskatchewan, it’s fun hearing it come from the other way around. I agree, a wet cold chills you to the bone, but those dry SK winters where your nose hairs freeze the second you step outside was pretty dang cold too. I got away from all of that and now I forget it’s close to Christmas time because it only rains in Seattle.

I’m not sure if I prefer rain or snow. Rain is so sloppy! But it’s been awesome to have a long mild fall. Even if winter is comparably cold (to the prairies) I know it doesn’t last nearly as long here and I think I can deal with that.

Suck it up, Big Sis! It was -30 with the windchill here this morning! :p
