HELP HELP!!!
I'm a Texan who has been moved to near the Canadian Border like 2 & 1/2 months ago... Ok, Eastern WA State, NEAR the Canadian Border.... and it's friggin cold already.

And it's OCTOBER. O-C-T-O-B-E-R, it is in the low 50's..... every night is in the 30's this week now, and Thursday they predict 29 degrees.

ROFLMAO... mama mia. In Texas they called this WINTER! Here they call it AUTUMN! They also predict "a wintry mix". I never heard a Wintry Mix til January in Texas, and even then it was an idle threat, which only occured on occasion thereby shutting an entire city of 2 Million people down. I have two measly plants I got to bring with me (just cuttings/babies actually, since the Movers wouldn't take my whole plants) and they are both succulents, a Sansivera (Snake Plant) and Aloe Vera.... these babies gotta go inside like "Now!".

Ok... so I got my long undies (silky ones), fleece vest, down vest, I already have a fleece suit for my Abbie (for those days it got that cold in Texas, and indeed it did..but like I said, for a DAY or 2!), my Shih Tzu is covered,.. she has a double coat and is built for this weather, ...etc, ad nauseum, I even got myself some snow boots that go to -40. Are the snow boots overkill? YES, probably, but.. I am a WIMP!!! I'm from the Desert Southwest! AAAH!!

We only got into the 20's every now and then and only for about a few hours, .... there it was fun! Here, it is a Reality!!

Don't say "move back to Texas". No way Jose, I'm with my Hubby!

I go where he goes, PLUS I like it here! I get to hide my flab under heavier clothing, which is a true blessing for my ego ("My, I look good in this Parka. Rrrrrowr, I am muy sexy!") and just cuz I like cooler weather.

Plus my neighbors have a bet going when they will hear me say "its' cold!".. well it was YESTERDAY, but no one was out for me to tell. hehehe... perhaps they were cold too?
