Friday Link Love 01/16

Jan 16 2009

You know winter has officially hit the Chicago area when the high for the day struggles to hit 0. Add in the wind chill and you’re looking at -18! It’s so cold outside that my freezer feels like a balmy paradise in comparison (ouch! That was bad, I know – jokes aren’t my thing). Needless to say, when the temperature gets back up to around 30 next week, I’ll be walking around in shorts and a tank top.

Cold temperatures aside, it is Friday! And for many this weekend is a 3-day weekend because of Martin Luther King Day on Monday (for those residing in the US). And of course we all know that Tuesday is a big day as well because of the inauguration of President-elect Obama!

Have a happy and safe (and warm) weekend!
