It's only -12 today! T-Shirt weather, almost! OK, so it's still cold, and that wind is a killer, but at least things are starting to thaw out, as we can tell by how much windsheild washer fluid we're going through.
It's been a pretty quiet week in the Porritt house. The animals are starting to go crazy because of the cold, but they'll survive. We found our block heater! When this cold snap hit, we couldn't find the cord and were kind of worried that it didn't get put back in after the engine blew up this summer, but then Byron had a flat tires and while it was in for repairs, he got them to look for us, and sure enough it was there! Good thing too, because the next night was something like
-40!
Tonight I'm taking a couple of my Grade 6 girls to dinner and a movie. Kind of a rite of passage kind of idea. I'm not sure what we'll see yet. I want to see the Nativity Story, but they're talking about Happy Feet. So we'll see.
This weekend is the first of our Christmas parties - Sunday night with the Staff and Leadership team from the church. Tomorrow I'm going over to Crystal's to work on Christmas cards. My slavemaster of a boss at Starbucks gave me the day off! (But I'm paying for it next week!)
Here's a couple of pictures for you:
