Fun Holiday Movie Quote: “On Christmas Eve many years ago I laid quietly in my bed. I did not rustle the sheets, I breathed slowly and silently. I was listening for a sound I was afraid I’d never hear: the sound of Santa’s sleigh bells.” -The Polar Express
I feel like I’m at the North Pole right now. It’s been COLD in Boston. Yesterday we reached a high of 24 degrees and when I left my apartment this morning, it was 2 degrees. I was crying from coldness by the time I got to my car! And those low numbers don’t even include the wind chill factor; it actually felt MUCH colder! Boston has a lot of wind tunnels which make walking around brutal in the winter time.
As a city dweller, I feel more justified to complain about the cold. While those in suburbia run to a cold car parked in their driveways, I hoof it 4 blocks through the frigid air to my car. Aside from driving to work, I leave my car parked in my rental space and walk everywhere else. Hauling groceries in a real pain when it’s cold out! Walking anywhere is a real pain when it’s cold out! And don’t even get me started on how crappy city living can be when it snows. There’s no where to put the plowed snow so it makes walking, street parking, and driving difficult.
Breaking the fast: I had a waffle topped with Crofter’s Sueprfruit Spread. I love the spread, but the waffle itself was bland so I should’ve added a 2nd topping.
See above rant for reasons why my Ugg boots and jeans can be justified as work appropriate today. And I think it’s becoming obvious that I love skinny jeans tucked into any sort of boots. That’s my go-to look!
In between typing, I’ve been warming my fingers by my space heater. Brrrr! Tomorrow is supposed to be a bit “warmer” and then Boston may get some snow on Sunday. White Christmas perhaps? There’s even been an early prediction for snow on Christmas Day.

Melissa: Haha, SORRY! I know Uggs are not the most fashionable, but I couldn’t resist. I promise I’ll leave them home tomorrow, no matter what the temperature is!

I love your top with your outift! I’m hoping you don’t get TOO much snow so my sister and brother in law can make it to Chicago on the 22nd!!

I do not like snow – unless it happens on a week day and we don’t have to go to work.
It was so cold this morning! I was not amused walking to my car and into the office. I hope tomorrow night is warmer.
