A Little White Lie

This is coming:
Here's the thing. I say I "don't mind the winters." I take my mother's "house of cold-people" jokes and snide wintery remarks in stride. I tell prospective residents I'm interviewing at work that "the winters aren't as bad as everyone says."

I think I lied.

Who am I kidding? My first Minneapolis memory is being in the airport as a teenager and meeting a guy who got frostbite on his nose FROM WALKING TO THE PARKING LOT AND BACK.

I'm not ready. It's been 65 degrees here for the last week and the children and I walked around the zoo today without our coats.

Winter, please don't come. I don't want frostbite. But on a brighter note -- anyone want to go cute scarf and hat shopping?
