Hello, Everyone!  So if you don't live in Wisconsin, we have had some AMAZING weather this week. I'm pretty sure my car told me it was 66 degrees at one point AND I was outside running in a tank top.

While part of me felt bad for my weird, sadistic friends who enjoy snow and cold weather, I also feel like maybe someone upstairs was listening to all my whining about, "It's cold....blah, blah..." and decided to do me a kindness..or shut me up for bit.
