OOTD - Temperature Rising

fullsizeoutput_150b.jpeg

I consider myself to be a true Winnipeger. Though originally from the East coast, Winnipeg has been my home longer than it hasn't. I have run up Garbage Hill* in the summer, I have bumpershined** in the winter (and have been thrown into many a Charleswood ditch), I have worn a parka under and/or on top of my Halloween costume*** and I have shoveled my car out the driveway in May****. 

And because I call this Middle Province home; I will proceed to complain about the weather. It is so hot my eyeballs are sweating. The words I actually used to describe the humidity were 'I'm sweating my balls off' - but my mom got mad and reminded me that I, a.) have no shame and b.) do not possess balls. I told her I've been around my share of sweaty balls and consider myself something of an expert. She did not like that. (Please see point a.)

Yes it's hot, but I would take this heat over the frozen Hell that awaits me, only 2 months from now. 

*Garbage Hill is exactly what it sounds like. A bunch of city councillors in the 60s covered up a pile of rotting garbage with grass and now it's a 'recreational park'. I wish I was kidding.

**Bumpershining is when you hold on to the bumper of a car and let it drag you along. Listen, winter lasts for 9000 years here. Don't judge how we keep ourselves entertained. 

***There is a 60% chance it will snow on Halloween so you've got to keep warm as you beg for candy from strangers. Most costumes are actually just some version of 'Winter Dude' or the knock off 'Cold Weather Guy'. 

****It has snowed in May. Feel sorry for us. Also, we don't need the military to deal with our snowfall...Toronto. 

My arms are raised cuz pit stains aren't hot
