My car almost wouldn't start

I was just talking to my brother on the phone. I was telling him that it is cold here so I looked up the weather conditions so I could tell him just how cold.

4 degrees.

But then I got off the phone with him and looked a little closer. With the wind chill drop that originally number 24 to degrees. Really it is...

-20 degrees.

Brrrrrr....
Did I mention that we get really cold wind here?

Arizona here I come!

'Then I'll huff and I'll puff...

...and I'll blow your house in!'
--Big Bad Wolf, The Three Little Pigs

So the wind is currently howling outside, kicking up dirt and smattering it against my windows. It sounds a little like the Big Bad Wolf wants in. But no worries, my house is made of brick (and a little vinyl siding) so I'm not too worried.

Now if I could just kick this nasty cold...

Surprise!

Surprise #1:

I walked out to my car yesterday afternoon to go to class only to find that someone had broken into my car. Well to be fair I had left my doors unlocked (which I usually don't do). My glove box was emptied onto the floor, change drawer pulled out and sitting on the driver's seat, console wide open etc etc. Thankfully I don't keep much in my car. So I after putting a few things away so I could drive my car I tried to start 'er up. Um nope! My night time friend(s) had failed to close my doors properly so the dome light had been on all night and my battery was dead. Lovely! It's ok because I really didn't want to go to statistics anyways...
After a phone call to a friend, some jumper cables, and some time spent standing outside in the freezing wind my little car was going again, just in time for me to make it to my second class of the day.
So while the $20 emergency money in my glove box was gone along with a bag of random change I'm feeling like I got away pretty easy for getting my car broken into.

Surprise #2:

So I have some very tricksy friends here in Indiana. It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago and while one of them distracted me with Thai food, the others lay in wait to surprise me and wish me happy birthday. I wish we had gotten a picture of my face when they all jumped out, because I'm pretty sure it would've been hilarious. hahahahaha!
