Drink a hot beverage. Burn your tongue. Focus on the pain instead of how cold you are.<br /><br />Said friend just protested saying she wasn't terrified.<br />Seeing as she yelped and had really wide eyes when I started hopping and yelling, I'm disregarding her defense.Ivynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-14396653036332307432013-11-09T12:01:44.360-07:002013-11-09T12:01:44.360-07:00I third this!

And yes, snow can be romantic. Taking a walk and coming back to hot cocoa, snuggling up with someone to get warm, reading a book together or watching a movie with just the 2 of you or the whole family.<br />Sledding, making your own snow cones (I know it sounds gross but growing up in UTAH, we would put fresh snow into a cup and sprinkle sugar on it... instant FREE snow cones), building snow forts and snowmen.<br /><br />Winter is what you make it, I don't like being cold or driving in it.. but I love to watch my kids enjoy it. That day that Eli took the picture from, my youngest got up in his pj's and opened the door because he wanted to play right then and there... not get dressed.

It's the same latitude but with humidity, so the cold is colder and the hot is hotter, and if I could have my CLIMATE "druthers" I'd rather be in the tropics. Do they MAKE human-sized heat rocks? 'Cuz I want one. I don't need the foam brick because I avoid ALL forms of news, including chipper weather idiots. Would love to get back to LA, where I can ever-so-occasionally "suffer" the cold weather and soak up the hot while all else complain. In Los Angeles, my hair is ALWAYS as FABULOUS as Eli's!<br /><br />I replied to YOU because (so far) your post hit the closest to "home" for me. Isn't it WONDERFUL how many of us really despise cold, and wet, and cold-and-wet, and SNOW? I'm HOME with my STRANGERS!

Singing should not start until 8 at the very earliest! Mornings are not a happy thing, and if someone tried to pinch my cheeks in the morning there is a very high probability that they would get hit. My family and friends have all learned not to mess with me in the morning:)<br /><br /><br />I live in Colorado so I understand your feelings on snow, winter seems to take up more than its fair share of the year.

I try to brighten my home, wear bright happy clothes, and listen to happy, cheerful music. <br />My other reason for hating winter is that I have metal rods that go the entire length of my spine with screws into my pelvic bones. (I have severe scoliosis). The winter is very very painful.

Our summer is still 1 month away and today we had 38 deg C (that's your 100 deg F) and regularly have spells of 115. The flip side is that our coldest day of winter was a chilly 32 (our zero).
