Yep, it's only December and to top it off it's on its way to becoming the coldest freaking December in recorded Chicago history! I'm already sick of snow and cold and if I had the financial means I be living in Florida but hell, it was 20 degrees in Orlando this morning too. But at least they don't have snow...yet.
What I hate most about winter is that for the most part you're cooped up inside, can't work in the yard, go for a walk without freezing your cahonies (I don't know if that's spelled right) off and you can't drive your street rod! I just want to jump in the old car, fill 'er up and take my best girl and just drive until the tank needs filling and drive some more after that. Can't do it though because it's cold, icy and salty outside. Why is it as you get older the days go by faster and faster at least from May through October but winter drags and drags and drags on.
Oh well, this will be my 60th winter (OMG I'm gettin' old!) in Chicago you think I'd be used to it by now but I'm not and probably never will be. Well, I guess I'll go read my new car magazines and look at the pictures that were taken in the sun and heat of summer and look forward to the cruising months in 2011 that are four lllloooonnnnggg months away. See ya next time.
