I take it back. The minute I pushed the “Publish Post” button on my last entry, the clouds rolled as if on cue for a theatrical comedy. It suddenly became very cold and gloomy and started to drizzle. Fine, Denmark, bring it on!
A note on the weather here – I cannot find the words to describe its bizarre behavior. It is absolutely unpredictable. I have seen clear sunny skies, to black looming clouds, to pouring down rain and back in the matter of an hour. All of sudden, the wind will pick up and you’ll see the beginning of a big nasty storm and 10 minutes later everything will be calm and serene. One thing is for sure: it’s much different from the weather back in Santa Barbara.
The current problem I deal with is acclimating to the temperature changes when going indoors or outdoors. Inside, I will be quite comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt. In order to head outside, I’ll throw on boots, a sweater, a heavy winter jacket, gloves and a scarf. This will either be entirely necessary or way too much clothing and I find out the moment I open the front door get my first douse of the outside air. Of course, then I start walking and my body temp heats up. So pretty soon I’m sweating and trying to strip off all the extra clothing. By the time I get back indoors, for instance into a shopping mall or onto the bus, I have clothing hanging from both arms and I’m back to just my basic t-shirt. To others, I must look quite ridiculous, because everyone else treads around totally bundled in their winter coats and scarves. How do they do it? If I keep my jacket, sweater and scarf on, I’ll faint from overheating! Hopefully my body will adjust and this little dilemma of mine will just disappear. Otherwise, people will start recognizing me as the crazy Indian girl who runs around with no clothing! I guess it’s one way to get noticed…

What can I say? You are a hot blooded mama, who takes after her hot blooded papa, who seems to have waaaay too much time on his hands.
