My children woke me up today freaking out about the ice on the windows!

Grant came back and said that it's 47 in Key West... breaking a record set in the 1800s.

And then I got on Facebook and saw that my aunt, who lives in Ocala now (so central Florida, where I got married) is seeing snow flurries. She's a native conch in her 50s and this is the first snow of her entire life. Would everyone who knows what I'm talking about take a minute to consider the idea that it's snowing at the Conference Center?!

Shit is cah-RAZY.

My friend Kristin has to find somewhere to spend the night tonight because their house doesn't even have heat.

I am considering my urge to go to Goodwill, buy the biggest coats I can find, and go passing them out to homeless people :/ Florida has a pretty big collection of the homeless, who I am guessing don't exactly check the 10 day forecast on weather.com daily. We also have less shelters than most places, again because of the weather. We turn schools and hospitals into shelters for hurricanes.

In other news, I'm now fighting an urge to cut all of my hair to match the bangs because then at least it wouldn't just look like a messed up accident or a southern twang that should go with too much lipstick. Plus it could all grow out together. Though I really hate the way my hair looks at just-above-shoulder length, A LOT. And Grant would be kind of devastated :/

The weather is insane! I live a little outside of Tampa and woke the kids up at 3am so we could go outside to see the flurries and sleet. The thermostat in my van simply said "Ice" this morning rather than displaying the temperature.

You should totally pack up the kids and go pass out coats, they'll remember it forever.

Ditto this.

My in-laws are in Florida for whatever Disney is there. This morning, my SIL sent me a picture of her son in his winter coat staring forlornly into a pool.

P.S. I like your bangs. As you know, hair twin, I have longed for bangs for many years. But I'm too scared.

I'm so sorry you hate your hair... I still think it's adorable! It sucks to have something that you can SEE all the time (and can't remove) be something you hate. Hopefully the hatred will fade into at least apathy as it grows out :\

Dude, with the whole hair situation you have to be careful not to loose your witts. I think that your best option is to look into different ways to style your bangs and hair to your liking. It is much more difficult to deal with an entire head of hair you don't like than a forehead of it.
