What was I thinking?

When I returned to the U.S. in June and was still playing the 'oh where shall I live' game, Portland, Maine was the very first place I was obsessed with. You can check out this previous post about that mini period of my life. Today, sitting in my home here in Washington reading about below 0 temperatures, snowed-in residents with no power and worse, I can only laugh at myself. To think that me, ultimate lover of all things related to warm weather, would have even thought for one single second that I could survive such winter craziness is indeed truly laughable!! Thank goodness for following my instincts!!
