Frigid


There are some things that I absolutely love about cold weather: how quiet the snow makes everything, almost forcing you to think. How trees look with snow covering them, which I think is even prettier than trees with fall colors if that's possible.

But there are definitely things I don't love about it: Bundling up every time you leave your house. Clearing your car off to drive a quarter mile down the road to the store. Never seeing the sun (I hate never seeing the sun)

The perfect solution would be to do winter for about a month. Like real, serious, snow-everywhere-winter. And then the rest of the year is summer and fall. If I'm totally honest, I think I'm a flip-flop, tank-top, sunshine and long evenings that never end kind of person. It fits my personality more.

I'm reading a couple of books right now that I'm eager to talk about but am going to wait until I'm finished. I would not be surprised if this ends up being mostly a book review blog.

You know what's worse than getting all bundled up to leave the house, to go a 1/4 mile to the store? Take four kids along. Boy it's hard getting them crammed in those carseats with all the layers on. I'm a sunshine girl myself. Are you sure we grew up in MI?

Oh man, I never thought about that before. I bet you have to start getting them all dressed 2hrs b4 you leave.

I agree. more sun, please. (I'm entering everyday for the dream home in the Fl. keys. R U?)

Yes, and I'm signing up mom and dad. Tiny saw your pic, Tex with Blanky. He said, "That doggy crying, he's sad." It was so cute.

I just told martin what tiny said about that picture of Tex and we were saying "that's SO cute!!!" I miss tiny. Tiny is so CUTE. We'll take him anytime.

Athena says,"Whatever, I have first dibs." Actually, I think Tiny thinks that Neena is his real mom and I just take him away all the time.

When are you going to write a new blog entry?
