Ironic
So I’ve had some time to calm down about this topic, but I still feel justified in posting something about it.
I live in Minnesota, I know it gets cold here, even when it’s amazingly cold I can still look at it as, “We knew this going into this living situation, it was a choice.” However I can still be in shock when I see that Saturday’s high is projected to be -4, the HIGH -4. It just amazes me to no end.
What amazes me even more is the fact that a company that was founded and is based in Minnesota apparently does not know THEY are in Minnesota. Let me explain:
I walk about 4 city blocks from the parking garage to work each day. It can be very chilly at 6:45am and I was in need for a new ear warmer. (one that won’t mess up my hair). So silly me, I went to Target to check out their cold weather head gear. To my surprise, you cannot buy a hat, scarf, gloves, mittens, ear muffs, etc. at Target any longer. They were put on clearance the beginning of January and are all gone. This seems ridiculous to me since February is notoriously colder in this state than December. Now if I want a bikini, I’m good to go. So I figure in July I guess I should buy some gloves.
I did find a new ear warmer/ear muffs, but had to get them at a sporting goods store.

I had a similar experience shopping for a Christmas dress for Lindsey. Apparently, that shopping has to be done in October, when you have no idea what size they'll be in. If you wait until the first week in December, which contains the holiday in question, then you are out of luck.

It is pretty crazy that the bikinis are already out! Crazy!
