Well, we left my husband's family in Siberia upstate New York on Sunday to travel home to a warmer climate where I could sufficiently thaw. When we left it was 5 degrees, when we got home it was a balmy 22 and today with the wind chill it is 7....SEVEN DEGREES!
So, because I love all my readers and from what Al Roker said this morning, almost ALL OF YOU are up to your armpits in chilly weather, here is my Top 10 things to do when it is C-O-O-O-O-L-D outside!
10. Don't go out to the bus stop! They are young, they will survive!
9. Break your coffee maker's auto shut-off timer so it stays HOT all day!
8. Climb back in bed with a fleecy blanket and read (with said java)!
7. Either do short stints of housework in between snuggling up in bed or choose those things you can do WHILE snuggling up in bed.
6. Fold laundry UNDER the covers.
5. Decide to FINALLY organize your sock and underwear drawer...UNDER the covers.
4. Make your grocery list from your bed, although post date it 'JUNE' because it feels like it won't be warm until then. Once again, the kids will survive! They are a remarkable species and can live on Ranch dressing and cheezits for months!
3. Sleep! Remember to remove coffee from your frozen grip PRIOR to dozing or you will have to DO laundry and you can't do that from the warmth of your bed.
2. Make all the phone calls you have been meaning to make...doctor's and dentist's appointments, insurance complaints, 1-800 magazine subscriptions (those will come in handy on the NEXT frigid day), registration for COME 2 U SPA, where all the lxuries of a spa come to you...in your warm bed!
See!!!! It would be SO much cheaper if it were WARM IN PENNSYLVANIA!
AND THE #1 thing to do when you are snuggled up in bed on a FRIGID day.....

Don't forget:
Big pot of soup. In cold weather we go for Split pea or cajun bean.
Run out from under the covers, toss in ingrediants.. retreat to snuggy spot. Wait 4 hours.
Run out from under covers, zap it all with an immersion blender. Retreat to snuggy spot, enjoy the smell of warm soup.
Feeling ambitious: Make home made cornbread or rolls. (Again, use that warmth in the kitchen to raise the dough...)
I totally hear you on staying under the covers... it's my FAVORITE place to be when it's 7 degrees :)
