The Little Things

You know what is really annoying?  Having your power windows freeze when you are attempting to go through the drive through.  Now that we live in Alaska, it is below freezing most of the time/all of the time. :)  We have found that our windows freeze right around 20 degrees.  from 20-35 degrees we might have to "help" the window a little by pushing down on it, but usually it will open.

Today it was a brisk 25 degrees when I went on lunch from my work training.  I was craving Arby's so I headed over there, navigated through the icy roads and finally made it to the drive through.  As I pulled up to the window I tried to roll down my window, and it was stuck!  Yes, yes, I could have just opened my door and ordered, paid, and got my food, but number one, that is just awkward.  And number two, it is freezing cold, and who wants icy air coming in an open door while they sit and wait?  Not this girl.  I was already cold even though I was bundled up in a Down coat zipped all the way up and had gloves on.  I don't even want to think about how cold I would have been with the door wide open!

Luckily, at the last second I was able to "help" the window open and a crisis was averted.  So today I'm grateful it was just warm enough for me to roll down my window at the drive through!
