It's Beginning to Look (a lot) Like Winter

There was ice on the ground this morning! I was walking to Starbucks...I know, I know, I said I had quit. I lied. But this was the first slip up this month! Okay, so that's only six days; but seriously it has been weeks since I've been. This may be the first time I've gone since blogging about giving it up and it was due in part to the complete lack of supplies for a caffeinated beverage in my apartment (I have to go grocery shopping like none other, but we all know how much I hate that) and the desire to force myself outside early in the hopes of having a somewhat productive day. But, I digress. I was walking to Starbucks and there was a thick layer of ice on the side of the road where puddles had frozen over! I know it is December, but it feels like winter just completely snuck up on us! It was bitter cold and windy. I could see my breath. My ears tingled when I got back into the heat. I am not prepared. Winter needs to end. Although I guess it has to officially begin first. Drats.
