Texas is not suppose to be cold!

It has been really cold  here since I got here.   It was in the 40's when I came but yesterday only in the 30's with sun and today low 30's but no sun!  I did a 4 hour volunteer activity that is held once per month at a church about 24 miles away.   I was never told it was outside.  Most of you probably know why I am in TX - I can't stand the cold.   They found a job for me that was about 1/2 inside and 1/2 outside.  I still froze.  I didn't dress for the weather but did have 4 layers on knowing the building might not be heated like if I was inside.  Luckily I had my thicker mittens, ear muffs and scarf.   I wish I had worn my smart wool socks though.  I am back home now and will take a while to thaw out - I actually put my long underwear on after my shower when I got home. 

This afternoon my task is to clean up the living room after we took the tree down last night.  Then I will be using hot water to wash 1/2 the china from the china cabinet.   When I find my camera - not sure what happened to it - I will post a picture of the china cabinet I am cleaning.  My host parents are both working today, so I am here alone.
