So, great weather, huh?
Many people chat about the weather to break the ice or just cover the dead air with another person, but in South Florida, talking about the weather is a legitimate hobby. I think you can even get tax deductions for any expenses related to it. Turn on the evening news, and if not too many people were shot or politicians caught money laundering or fake doctors found practicing medicine, the weather will be the first thing in the newscast.
I think South Floridians are fixated on the weather because any deviation from the usual 94-degree, 90-percent-humidity, partly-cloudy, chance-of-afternoon-showers forecast is just plain weird.
Like today. When I woke up, it was 57 degrees! Even now, in the middle of the day, it's barely 62. And it's the middle of April.
Weeeeeird.
The brisk weather only causes me to be giddy. It's not just the lack of humidity, though, or the fact my naturally frizzy hair actually lays flat (although that's a reason to celebrate right there). No, this great weather sets off a game-show-prize-winning sound in my head because I can dress my son in a sweater! Possibly even a couple of layers! With socks and shoes!
I am a babyclothesaholic, and I enjoy few things more than dressing my boy in cute clothes because I know it's just a matter of years before he is either protesting clothes and running around naked, or wearing nothing but black T-shirts with questionable sayings on the front. That's why this morning it took me a full 10 minutes to figure out what to wear. For him.
I had to be selective because today is possibly the very last day until the end of December the temperature is going to be this low. I settled on a long-sleeved shirt with a fuzzy puppy-soft striped hoody and jeans, if anyone is interested. Clothes he might never wear again, considering how fast he's growing.
Truly, there should be a 12-step program for this . . . .
