This hurried post is brought to you by the letter F and the number -20 as in Fah-reaking-cold-ass-fingers and the answer to "What is the windchill outside?"
Pardon the dust I leave in the trail behind my doubly-socked feet as I zoom from room to room, trying to secure clothing warm enough for all of us to venture out onto the streets of downtown Chicago tomorrow afternoon for a fun day of Christmas activities, thanks to the kindness of Patrick's mother.
We are excited, despite my worries that we may come home with less fingers and toes than we will start off with... Wish us luck! Have a great weekend. Stay warm.*
* This only applies to those of us experiencing the TRUE meaning of Christmas, i.e. people freezing our asses off from above (or near) the Mason-Dixon Line.**
** If you don't know what the Mason-Dixon line is, well... Sigh... Didn't you pay attention in school??***
*** Here. I'm taking pity on you.

Yeah...I can easily say I know what you are talking about. Too cold:(
'Tis the season to be freezing!
Have fun!
Those above-average temps in November truly spoiled us in central New York. I'm just thanking my lucky stars I don't live three hours north in the Adirondacks where they're getting up to three feet of lake effect snow. Gotta love those negative wind chills. (NOT!)
Stay warm, my friend. :-)
Enjoy and stay warm!!!
I loved the Sesame Street style intro to this post! Speaking of, I thought you might want to let your readers know about K'NEX's Sesame Place giveaway. 10 lucky winners will get 2 tickets. 100 other winners will get Sesame Street building sets.

Good luck, and stay warm!!
I don't think the Mason-Dixon line is covered in Canadian geography, history, etc. classes. I've always wondered what it meant. Thanks!
It's cold here too. Warming up, but it's been a cold week!
Here's hoping the magic of Christmas warms your hearts while you are downtown! Have fun!
I know it is really frickin cold when I run wherever I am going. And I ahve dones that many times today!

When we lived in Northern Virginia, I never considered it the south. This frustrated some people, but with all the snow we received, I just couldn't consider it the south. Now that we're back in the south, I think we must have brought the cold with us!
I know where the line is and I'm below it. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment.
Love the "got milk" picture of you and your daughter.
I love Anonymous' comment to "Mindy". Well done.
We've had some crazy cold weather here the last few days, although not below zero. Thank heavens. These are days that are meant to be spent indoors. In front of a fire. With a cup of hot chocolate.
Hope you had fun! And still have all of your fingers.
I'm freezing too. Hope you had a fabulous time and that all fingers and toes were accounted for.
That last ** - ha ha ha!
Okay, yes, it's butt chillin cold out here. Brrr. Stay warm.
