well, it may always be sunny in chicago, but that definitely does not mean that it is going to be sunny and warm. that is for sure. i heard a lot of buzz about how this weekend it was only supposed to be 4 degrees, and how that means no one will be going outside. well, i thought how bad could it be, just bundle up, you've grown up in the cold north east...no big deal. let me tell you something...4 degrees is cold, and zero degrees is even colder, which was the actual temperature of this bright sunny saturday. oh that, and the -17 degree wind chill. bone chilling.
anyways, my friends and i are troopers, we werent going to let a little blood chilling cold hold us down, or in. we went estate sale shopping in the burbs, which can get you some pretty sweet digs. i got some really neat vintage christmas cards which you can be expecting next christmas (that is if i have remember them). although we did have the heat of an automobile to get us around, i was pretty proud of us staying out the whole day in this artic weather. i think this weekend was my first taste of a real chicago winter. i mean its no crab legs in florida, or a california hike where the coldest it gets requires my brother to apply a long sleeve t-shirt, but I think its bearable...at least with the right parka, hat, earmuffs, gloves, mittens, scarfs, socks, socks, socks, and another pair of socks, long johns, and a large cup of hot chocolate.
