EXTRA! EXTRA!

Word of the day:
HORRIPILATION
Noun: The act or process of the hair bristling on the skin, as from cold or fear; goosebumps.

I went to the Gap yesterday to kill some time while I was waiting for my cousin to meet me. I'd been there a couple weeks ago and had seen this really warm and comfy puffy-but-not-too-puffy vest that I really wanted to buy. I didn't buy it that first time because it was $68. When I saw it yesterday, it was $44.99. I did some math in my head and decided I could afford it, which was a relief because I probably would've ended up buying it anyway... To my surprise and delight, the vest rang up for $33 at the register. Hurray, big win for Kristin! I wanted to wear the vest today and was all excited to do so, but then I decided I'd be too cold in the evening. (I probably would've gotten horripilations once the sun went down.)

It's pretty fortunate that I opted for a coat instead of the vest... It did get pretty chilly this evening. The temperature, however, is not the big news today. IT SNOWED! I haven't been this excited about snow in YEARS. Seriously. For the past 5-6 years, I've convinced myself that I hate snow. This is just not true. Sure, I don't appreciate it when the snow interferes with my life, but I certainly don't hate snow. What I really despise is the nasty brown slushy crap that ends up all over the city after it snows. But tonight, the snow was only sticking to hands, faces, hair, and cars, not grass, pavement, etc. This is probably for the best.

For the first time in a long time, I may actually be looking forward to the Wisconsin weather I will get to experience in less than two weeks. What the hell is wrong with me??
