As I write this post, the temperature is -3 degrees outside.  The high is expected to be 7 degrees.  The high.  It's never a good sign when the words "arctic blast" are included with the weather forecast.  I bundled up to walk Pedro this morning, but that didn't stop the inside of my noze temporarily freezing.  The first time that happened to me I was waiting for the El in Chicago, and I had no idea what was happening.  It's not painful, but it's definitely not something I enjoy experiencing on a regular basis.   Freezing body parts are not my cup of tea. 

When the temperature is this cold, I go into full hibernation mode.  Hibenating yesterday included a little painting and arts and crafts time.  I created these little winter decorations to brighten up a hallway in our apartment.  If we're going to be spending more time in our apartment, it might as well look pretty!  

What do you do to get through the cold winter months?
