Today is the day

It's happened. Finally. Last night as I was standing outside at our building's Halloween display my neck felt a little odd. It was a strange sensation that took me a moment to recognize. My neck was actually chilly. It must have been no more than 60 degrees outside! Chilly enough that I went inside and grabbed the awesome stripey scarf that

seriously, you want sweater weather? just go wayyyyyyyy north. This was taken at the tail end of summer up in the great white (natch) north.

Too funny.

I currently have a staff member from India here. We were at the office late and it was around 60 degrees when we left and he's complaining how cold it was. I laughed and told him he's going to be in major trouble soon (this is New Jersey).

Awww, I would be a sad and despondent girl without my sweaters and scarves. I get excited when it gets chilly enough to layer sweaters and I'm in Ohio, where it'll be miserably cold in no time, but the first few days of sweater weather still always get me pumped.

However, having just finished a master's degree and having no superfluous money lying about, I only have one cashmere sweater that was a delightful surprise Christmas present from my mom one year. I do, however, indulge myself with cashmere blend socks, which are soft and dreamy and warm.

It took a couple years for me to feel "cold" in San Diego, and now I'm right there with the wussiest of San Diego weather people. I wear gloves in the car and in the office this time of year, and wear a lot of light hoodies over tops. Mind you, I never say the word "cold," because I've been in actual cold weather back east (in the same way I would never use the word "hot" referring to San Diego, being from Tucson), but my body still feels chilly. Maybe it's our mind's way of making use of sweaters when sweaters aren't really required. :)

I'm excited about sweater weather too! I'm not as deprived as you, though. Yay for the happy!

In one of my classes, I have several students from Saudi Arabia, and they started freezing when the temperatures hit 65, and also a student from Poland, who just started wearing a light jacket when the temperatures dipped into the lower 40s. It's amusing.
