We went to a bday early evening get-together yesterday for our friend. The temps were about 7 degrees with a wind chill somewhere in the negative digits.

I was pretty bundled up. Long Johns underneath my blue jeans. Turtleneck with another top over it. Thick partly woolen socks. Followed by coats, scarves, hats, gloves.

When we got inside the winery, we found our friends were not dressed like we were. Bday friend was in short sleeves and blue jeans. His wife had on a lightweight long sleeved blouse. I was very confused. How can it be that I dress in multiple layers, and this guy had on short sleeves? Is something wrong with him…or with me?

I’ll say him, because I think that’s crazy. I see people up here with multiple layers on. I’m warm enough when I do that. Shorts sleeves in this weather? You must have a screw loose. I love my friend, but I will always remember this weird birthday of his.

You need more body fat and/or thicker blood, LOL!

I always bundle up if I have to be OUT in the weather to get from Point A to Point B, but once indoors I run hot, so I’d be stripping off layers - in front of everyone if need be!

It was just a few weeks ago that I saw a guy at Walmart in shorts and tennies, but with a very warm jacket on top. There was snow on the ground. My boys were the same way. Nicholas was the worst ‘Winter Clothing Offender’ of the three. The other two loved to ski, so they were good about wearing the proper gear on the slopes.

So, yeah - Weirdos, LOL!
