fireplaces. HOT FACE, COLD BUTT. hot chocolate. SUGAR. hot chocolate with marshmallows. STOMACH ACHE. stew. christmas. I'LL GIVE YOU THOSE TWO. ice skating. PAIN! sledding. MORE PAIN AND UPHILL WALKING! excuse to be late to work. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED, BUT I NEVER NEEDED AN EXCUSE. snowflakes. THEY'RE ALL DIFFERENT--LIKE US. snowmen. MELT AND TURN GRAY. scarves. YOU CAN HAVE SCARVES, TOO. sweaters. AND SWEATERS. booties. ANGIE, DO YOU WEAR BOOTIES? WHAT IS A BOOTIE? DO TELL. ; ) extra blankets.... TO BE FAIR, THIS IS ONE OF THE ONLY TIMES A YEAR THAT I GET TO SEE ALL MY QUILTS... to name a few. huh. i didn't even realize i was a winter-lover! COME ON OVER. I CAN FIX THAT. POUTING CHANGES MINDS, RIGHT?

When you look out the window in the morning and the sky is a Royal Blue and the snow is sparkling like a million diamonds. I SUPPOSE. Then you go outside and the air is so cold that your nosehairs freeze when you inhale. FUN. Then you run back inside where Poppers has a roaring fire going in the woodstove and you stand by it and toast yourself. HOT FACE, COLD BUTT. You should come over. NOW THAT'S TRUE.

Oh and when it snows a BUNCH and there is a snow day and Eli and I both get to stay home--that rocks! I GUESS...

sweaters - they hide a lot. TRUE ENOUGH, I SUPPOSE. Christmas. THREE WORDS: LITTLE. DRUMMER. BOY. feeling toasty in my blankey. YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS ABOUT ME, BUT I SLEEP WITH A BLANKEY ALL YEAR ROUND. hot chocolate. STOMACH ACHE. watching Polly play in the snow. WET DOG SMELL.

Trips to Florida or somewhere else sunny... :-) OR JUST THE TANNING BED.

Coffeegirl said...
V, I'm with you. I love when you get off the plane and you feel that warm, humid air. Then, the sunshine reaches your skin and you think...why do I live in MN? MY HUSBAND LIVES HERE. THAT'S THE ONLY REASON, SOME DAYS. I do love when the snow covers the trees. FOR A DAY OR TWO, BEFORE EVERYTHING TURNS GRAY AND BROWN AGAIN... And Christmas vacation. YES, TRUE. That's about it. ME, TOO.

Melissa said...
Yeah, why do you live in MN/WI? SEE ABOVE. I have SAD (seasonal affective disorder) and I find it much easier to cope with the lack of daylight hours if it's still 65 degrees and sunny out here in CA! I THINK MELISSA IS ON TO SOMETHING HERE... However, it's really fun to watch your kid play in the snow :) MAYBE I'LL JUST TRY TOSSING SJ OUT THERE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. MAYBE then I WOULD FINALLY ENJOY WINTER.

Snowmobiling, KATIE, I WOULD SOONER DIE (NO OFFENSE.). a white Christmas, NOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT does MAKE ME FEEL GOOD. hoar frost, TEE HEE. the blue sky and sparkly snow that Kristi said, SEE ABOVE. sweaters for the same reason Carrie said, SEE ABOVE. all of this is just wonderful until Dec.26th and then I'm ready for spring. ME TOO.

Friends that like to appear to be like Scrooge.....:) MAYHAPS I AM A BIT OF A SCROOGE. ESPECIALLY AFTER RE-READING MY REBUTTAL. I'M THINKING YOU GUYS SHOULD COME DIG ME OUT OF MY BEDROOM IN APRIL. I'LL BE EMACIATED AND WEARING A TOWEL ON MY HEAD AND THE SAME SWEATPANTS THAT I WEAR TO BED TONIGHT.
RICHARD. IS. SO. LUCKY.
SERIOUSLY, THOUGH--I DON'T THINK I'M DOING SO GOOD.
