BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!!!

It is 6 degrees as I write this and that isn't with the windchill!!!


Today was the Browns vs Bengals game! Vladi and I bundled up each in:
2 pairs of socks (V. should have worn 3. I have fur in my boots)
3 pairs of sweatpants (I had pink long underwear-thanks Mom)
3 shirts/sweatshirts
1 jacket
2 hoods and 1 hat (Vladi is wearing his Browns Santa hat)
2 blankets
gloves
1 scarf
boots
lots of lip gloss
hand warmers
UK bleacher padded seats (Thanks Marsha Miller)

The Browns lost (the Bengals have only won 2 games and we have all our QBs out with injuries) but we had an incredible adventure! For most of the game, we were warm because we were bundled so well and we danced when music played between plays. Most of the stadium left at half time but we stuck it out. As Vladi cheered and I sat not able to move with all my layers (I felt like the brother in the movie A Christmas Story walking to school-Did you know that movie was filmed in Cleveland?), I thought about many things.

Here are my thoughts during the game:

I could make a mastercard commercial out of today:
Browns tickets $45 each
Parking at the Browns game $10
Hot Chocolate $5.75 each
Hand warmers from an outside vendor $5
1 hot dog $4
Sitting in wind chill negative temps with my
husband and making memories at our LAST
football game ever just the two of us... PRICELESS!!!

I made up "You know your cold when..."
6. there is ice on the football field.
5. you are letting out so much cold air from your mouth that your scarf is wet.
4. Santa leaves the game early (Isn't he use to the North Pole?)
3. Cleveland Men and Women are wearing orange hunting overalls
(I thought that was only in KY).
2. your hot chocolate was HOT when you bought it and COLD when you got to your seat.
AND THE NUMBER 1 "You know your cold when..." is
1. there is ice hanging off of everyone's nose and you know it is NOT water.

And I thought about how wonderful my husband is and how excited I am about our Dr. appt. on Monday.

Vladi and I had a wonderful, frigid, adventurous day with Baby G warm in my tummy.

**We have had modem problems for the last month and when we thought we had everything fixed, we couldn't get the internet to work. This is the reason for no blogs. On Monday I will blog about our Dr. appt. and then blog about everything that has happened the last month with pictures (we got that fixed on the computer also. I can post pics!!!) Thank you for your patience and I look forward to your comments. Please leave a comment because it lets me know who reads the blog and it also makes me happy! :)
