SNUGGLE ALERT !

It is fun living in Florida. It is such an unusual place and there are so many unusual things here that I am constantly entertained.  Tonight's blog comes to you compliments of NBC News, West Palm Beach's weather man, Steve Weagle, or as we fondly refer to him . .  .STEVIE WEEGIE !  This guy is GREAT! He is probably the best weather man on the planet or at least in Southern Florida. He actually gets the weather report right. If he says it's going to rain, it rains. IF he says it will be hot, it's hot. (That really isn't too much of a stretch since this is SOUTH Florida.) If Steve says the hurricane will not hit us, we don't bother to "batten down the hatches". Steve is the wizard of weather! And his forecast for tonight is a
"SNUGGLE ALERT". I am sitting here in my flannel PJ pants and a sweat shirt. The AC has been turned off for at least a week now and the windows have been open to the wonderful Florida breezes but tonight all the windows and doors are shut tight. The temperatures are going DOWN to 55!  OMG ! Break out the fleece and the blankets, the hats and mittens, the snow shoes and muck-a-lucks, we're in for a cold spell!
I sure hope you're laughing by now because I am. You cannot imagine the hype over the temperature dropping 25 degrees. Not from my man Steve but from the news media in general. Any time the thermometer drops under 70 it is front page news. But I must admit I am COLD tonight. I was actually trying to enjoy the sun this afternoon but it was just too chilly so I had to come in. I realize that if I was still living in NY and the temp ROSE to 55 I'd be out in the yard in my bathing suit taking advantage of the HEAT WAVE. But we have become spoiled and anything lower than 70 is down right cold. But as bad as I am Husband is ridiculous! The man got up this morning and put on HEAVY jeans and a sweat shirt and stayed in that all day . . .  even when it got up to 75 early this afternoon he remained dressed for a blizzard. Go Figure! Unlike H I change my clothes 20 times a day to be comfortable. I started out today in 3/4 length sleeve top and Capri pants. From there I went into my bathing suit until I actually tried to sit outside and then changed back into Capri's and a tee shirt. From that I am now into the flannel pants and sweat shirt. But come bed time I will have a window open cause there is nothing better than sleeping in a cold room. That was one of the big perks of our trip to Scotland this October. Most of the B&B's were cold at night but the beds all had great big down comforters on them. Those are just wonderful to snuggle under. But I wouldn't change my Florida living for the world. The idea of 75 degrees or better EVERY day for most of the year is just perfect with me. I'll think of you tomorrow when I get up in 50 degree weather and am basking in the sun a mere hour later loving the 75 degrees.

And as far as my "recovery" from the fender bender earlier this week.  I got a rental car today . . .  a little Toyota Camry that is mine to use, free of charge, for the time it takes to get my car fixed. I was back at the chiropractor today and even though my back and neck remain very tight I am feeling pretty good. Nothing some nice warm sunshine can't cure.
