Frost Is Not Cool

Da cold, da cold!

Who knew it got so cold in Seattle?

My poor Beetle has been frosted over most mornings as temps have dropped below zero.

Because I am too cheap to buy an actual ice scraper, I have variously used credit cards, plastic thingamagigs, random other stationery items to do the very thing they were never intended to be used for.

Scraping ice off a car.

And every time I spend 15 minutes in the freezing cold desperately scraping ice off my car with non-ice-scraping tools with the above sorry results, I tell myself, “Dot, you really need to buy a goddamn ice scraper, okay?”

And every time I tell myself that, I immediately think, “Who needs a Special Tool for this? I can make do with this ‘fill in the blank‘ just one more time.”

That’s exactly what I tell myself every time I scoop ice-cream with a teaspoon.
