Brrrrrr

The price for enjoying multiple days of 70-80-degree weather is multiple days of brrrrrrr. Not Aaron Burr. Or even Raymond Burr. Just plain ole, in your face, cold and cruel brrrrrr.


I had so hoped we were past these 20-something mornings, but no. Today’s forecast high: 35 degrees. Brrrrrr.

I was in bed uncharacteristically early last night, at just past 10:30. That’s at least 60-90 minutes earlier than usual. I was so tired though. Work’s been busy (which is good), and you know what’s going on at home (not good) and I slept fitfully Tuesday night, so I started the day out tired.

Work was busy in the morning and then in the afternoon we had a surprise shower for one of my young colleagues who is getting married. I helped get things ready. I think it ended up looking festive in a traditional tacky sort of way.

I think she was genuinely surprised as our group gathered near the elevators on a floor below ours. At first, she didn’t even try to get off the elevator, completely oblivious to the whole thing.

It was funny.

They’re having a pizza party today to celebrate some office awards, so no venturing out into the cold for food. Works for me!

Have fun with your office parties! My only experience with offices is watching The Office :)

V -- Tee hee! I don't think we're quite like The Office ... most days. :-)
