Lubbock, It’s Below 50 Degrees. Light the Damn Fireplace.

I know I'm not the only person in Lubbock today who is seriously considering throwing a couple of logs in the fireplace tonight...

It's below 50 degrees, people.

This is NOT a drill.

I'll be making an entire production of it.

Fuzzy socks. Big blankets. A fire roaring in the fireplace like I'm a wealthy old widow living out her retirement years in a ski lodge in the mountains of Colorado.

A gal can dream!

Dinner tonight? Chili. 100%.

I've been waiting for chili night for a long time. The crock pot is calling my name.

And tomorrow? As long as this cold weather keeps up, biscuits and gravy are a must for breakfast.

I want candles. I want soup. I want an oversized cardigan that makes me look like a bookstore owner from Vermont.

We have to jump on these opportunities, guys.

I've never regretted using my fireplace too early, but I have regretted years I went without using it at all. Let's enjoy this while it lasts. With Lubbock weather, you never quite know.

Make chili. Light the fireplace. Hell, watch a Christmas movie in October.

We've waited all summer to be this dramatic, and by golly, we've earned it!
