Can we just talk about this for a second?

In whose mind is that kind of weather even remotely close to being okay?!? It’s been -40ºC (-40ºF) with windchill all weekend long, making it pretty much impossible to go outside without feeling like your face is going to fall off. At least I only have one more day to endure before I’ll be enjoying the warm sunny beaches of Hawaii. Squee!

On another positive note… a huge thank you to everyone who participated in this week’s NEDA themed Thinking Out Loud. I didn’t include any of those posts in today’s Link Love simply because there were too many great ones and I couldn’t pick my favourites… So if you have some extra time, go check those out — you definitely won’t be disappointed.

Three things you did yesterday; three things you’re going to do today. Go:
Yesterday: worked most of the day to make up for the fact that I’ll be away all next week, caught up with some friends over coffee, and went to the mall to pick up a few last minute things for my trip.
Today: church, packing, and going over to my parents’ house for dinner.
