Washing the Car

(Please excuse the retarded face I'm making here. I think I was trying to hold that big silly smile too long while staring into direct sunlight.)

Now that I've braved most of the west coast's version of winter, I can officially say that I love it out here. I washed my car yesterday OUTSIDE. In the middle of February! I wasn't wearing a bikini or anything, but I was plenty warm in just a light jacket and sweatpants. I had to snap a picture just to send to my parents, who reported it was -22 C back home. hehe

One of the things I was worried I would never get used to out here is all the rain. I do miss seeing sunshine, but that's mostly because my apartment has no light. There is plenty of sunshine to be had when I get my butt outdoors. Even in bad patches where it rains every day, it doesn't rain ALL DAY every day. A few hours of rain here and there? I can handle that. Especially wearing my new rubber boots!

Piggy was a huge help yesterday:
