I Know I live in Alaska... Part 2

1. Everyone I am buying Christmas presents for live in "the lower 48 states"
2. By December 1st I had already built a snow fort, been sledding, made a snowman, and used an entire container of hot cocoa
3. I stay in my pajamas until 10:00am.... then the sun finally comes up, and I decide to get moving for the day
4. I put my kids in the bath and had them all ready for bed ... then I looked at the clock (5pm) and realized we still had 4 hours to go!!!
5. I bundle my kids in snowpants, a coat, a hat, gloves, and bring a blanket in case... just to run into the store.
6. I get excited to see a blue sky and the bright sun... its a rare treat!
7. I went outside for only a minute with wet hair... and it froze into little icicles!
8. I have forgotten any other colors exist besides white
9. Santa will definately hit our house first.... I think he only lives a few streets away
10.It was 1 degree outside

That sounds terrible! I thought I was hating the snow here the last few days! I wouldn't survive very long in Alaska.

Brrrr! I'm glad I live in AZ. I thought it was terribly cold because there was a thin layer of FROST on the north side of the roofs yesterday morning as I drove to church.
