Holy Winter, It's Cold!!

Listen, I have lived in New York City where walking to work in the snow backwards due to the strong winds was not out of the norm on any given Winter day. But let's be real... that was in my mid 20's and I don't live in the brisk NY weather any longer.

Now in The Middle of Nowhere, South Carolina - and originally being from the sunshiney town of Orange in Southern California - we are COLD. C.O.L.D. We got word the low would be 10 degrees on Wednesday this week (yesterday). So we were prepared to stay in drinking hot tea, with our electric blankets and such. Until we ran out of oil. Not cool (no pun intended).

Our house was built in the '50's and is heated by oil. I (ashamedly) let the oil run completely out - and on the coldest day of the year. Lovely. Anyway, thank God for electric blankets and space heaters - and of course for my little lap dog Dolly.We survived the night and good ol' boy Steve came out today with his life-saving oil truck. Yaye. I can feel my fingers again.

Lap-Warmer & Personal Heater, Dolly

Never Been So Happy To See Steve The Oil Man!!
