All I can say is, I’m sorry. Like really, really sorry.

I didn’t mean it, honestly.

You see, I had a revelation tonight… I caused the Solar Vortex that is overtaking the country, possibly the WORLD.

An Arctic air mass known as a “polar vortex” has descended over much of Canada and the eastern and mid-west U.S., causing temperatures to plunge, nearing -50 C with the wind chill in some regions.

Hell hath frozen over, people!

On the weekend, I (with the coersion of my lovely hubby) decided that I would start a 3 day cleanse on Monday past and… wait for it… GIVE UP WINE.

Are you sitting upright again? Settle down, I’m only giving up wine until my birthday later this month. No big deal, right? Right… ahem.

Except that it caused the POLAR VORTEX!

** Good thing I negotiated a “special event” clause in case something special came up in the meantime and I just needed to drink wine (you know, like Wednesday). Fortunately, a rescheduled Christmas party is taking place on Saturday so you can expect temperatures (inside and outside of this house) across the world to warm up by the weekend.

You’re welcome!
