That Just Happened!

I hate  the cold weather.  Hate it!  I like scarfs.  I have a lot of them, but I would prefer never to use them.  We have been so lucky this year because it really has not been that cold.  All of the major weather hit outside the city, so we haven’t really had a lot of snow either.  Until now.  This week we have started to get flurries and the temperature is dropping. The following is courtesy of The Weather Network.

I have provided the weather in both Celsius and Fahrenheit (for all my U.S. readers).  Please feel bad for me.  I’m sure it has been just as cold in your areas, but really I’m just looking for sympathy.  If you were standing in front on me I would expect you to start stroking my hair and saying “poor baaaaby” in a consoling voice.  This is so not my idea of a good time.  I used to daydream about what life would be like if my parents lived in Florida or California.  As I got older I included Arizona and Nevada into the mix.  Dry, warm/hot weather.  I wouldn’t complain no matter how hot it got.  In my first apartment I was on the top floor and there was no air conditioning.  The balcony was covered, so there was no air flow.  It got so hot in there it set off my heat detector in the apartment.  I loved it. If I owned a pair of shorts I could have worn them all year round.  My own little piece of wonderful. Plus it gave me a wonderful excuse to not use the oven or cook.  Which gives me an idea.

Since I cannot change the weather, I am going to have to learn how to cope with it.  I really do not want to have to go outside at all.  Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to help me come up with excusess to stay inside all weekend.  If all goes well I am hoping I can extend it to spring.

My first idea is, choose this weekend to was all my winter stuff.  Can’t go outside when my warmest winter jacket is in the wash!

Help me avoid winter!  I will take any and all excuses no matter how crazy or bizarre. I’m desperate to keep my toes!

Yeah, That Just Happened!
