Can I get a blanket?

I'm always cold. Seriously... I was in Austin, Texas this summer and while in the house, I wore a sweatshirt. It was over 100 degrees outside... but not inside! When I started my job back in late August/early September, I also started the use of the space heater left at my desk. If I'm laying on the couch, I'm most comfortable with a blanket, probably up to my chin, no matter what temperature. I'll get too hot occasionally, but I'd much rather be warm and cozy than freezing and uncomfortable.

I mention this because I'm sitting here listening to the rain smacking against the window. Not just any rain, but freezing rain. It's said that we're in for a pretty big storm. I'm pretty skeptic about weather reports at times and most often think that I'm a better weatherman than they are. You're almost better off just stepping outside yourself and seeing rather than listening to them sometimes. In any regard, it's cold here in Central Illinois. So I ask you: if I'm someone who is cold in August if I'm sitting in an air-conditioned building, how do you think I am come December when the temp drops down into the teens and the wind is bitter cold? Yeah, not good. It's like I'm in a perpetual state of coldness this time of year. I can generally stay warm inside the building, with my space heater and blanket, but once I step outside, it takes me a very long time to warm up, if I every really do at all. It really is quite miserable.

When I went to use the restroom today at work, I was hit with a pleasant perfume smell (I'm sure that's not the smell you thought I was going to say). As I went to the stall, it got stronger and stronger and I concluded that it was probably some air freshener that someone brought in. Ha, that's funny. Anyhoo, it was so strong that I felt like I wasn't just smelling it, but that I was tasting it too. Maybe you've experienced that too, but take it from me, it doesn't taste as pleasant as it smells. Isn't that disgusting?

Also, shout-out to Erinn for taking the pic that is currently my profile pic on here. Thanks girlfriend!
