Although this was taken on the third night.
Happy Chanukah, everyone! I received some great gifts from my family, including snow tires from my mom (seriously, great gift) and The Beatles Monopoly game from Miriam!
Money can’t buy me love!
I also finally bought a real lunch bag with my Target gift card from Lil. Thanks, Lil!
In other news, it’s freezing here. Winter has finally set in for good, methinks. But it won’t stop me from getting out of the house! This past weekend, I went out for a run on Saturday and on Sunday. It was also not quite 30 degrees, so I had to dress appropriately.
Fuzzy photo. And I look wide. What a tool.
Here’s my ridiculous getup: Two long-sleeved shirts made of wick-away fabric, a fleece jacket, and thin long johns under my pants. Plus gloves and a hat. And sunglasses, of course. Don’t I look ready to go? (Actually, this was taken after I got back.) So was this:
Can’t you see me running? This was taken in real time. Yes, I’m that slow.
I have more to write, but I just remembered that I have a dentist appointment first thing in the morning, which comes with an early wake-up call. Sure wish I remembered that an hour ago. Goodnight!

you put me to shame, every time it’s even remotely cold out i decide it’s too cold to run! plus i’m down in NC where it’s much warmer
question: why are there two different spellings for chanukah/hanukkah? are they the same thing?

Not-Pam-Z: Suck it up and go out for a run already! (Just kidding.) Chanukah is spelled many different ways in English but only way in Hebrew.

Nice post. Very happy to see the update. I would use the Hebrew spelling here for Un-Pam Z, but since I do not have a hebrew keyboard, no can do. I got nice gifts from my fam (same fam), too…including snow tires on your car!

The snow tires were a gift to Sara to hopefully ease the tension of the ugly winter drive and for all who ride with Sara in her “taxi.”
Happy Chanukah and Happy holidays to all!!

Good lord. Didn’t you get hot in all those clothes? Even in the coldest weather, I never wore more than a long john top and windbreaker. And pants. Of course.
Then again, I think we have already noted the differences in our respective personal thermostats.

Kristin: Yes, you’re always warmer than I am. However, I sweat like a man, no matter the weather. I only wore one shirt under the fleece the second day. I have to keep the lungs warm, though, and my legs get covered with hives when they’re exposed to too much cold air.
Mama and Miriam: Where’s my chauffeur’s cap?
