'Cause Cold Is How I Feel..


I'm in a really grumpy mood; brought on in part, I'm sure, by my sudden and unrequested teleportation back to the midwest!!

I mean, it's a bitchy 20 degrees here, blogland, and we had a little dusting of snow that stayed on the ground and anyplace else it landed ALL DAY yesterday. Waaughh!! Please oh please feel my pain! I live in the Pacific Northwest, not Minnesota! Where is my rain! Where is my moderate climate! Ok. I know it's December, and just the ideal season for a white Christmas, but I am cold! I hear some of you quickly clicking your escape button, moving on to happier bloggers. It's ok. I understand.

Since I cannot 'fix' the weather, I'm going to pretend that I'm somewhere in this cool paint-by-number painting at the top of this post. I picked this one up at Funky Junk Sisters, from Nia Sayers of Summerland (summerlandstyle.com). Fitting name, right? I love that bonsai-esque (that's a word, right?) quality of the trees, and who doesn't love a sailboat, gliding eternally on uber-calm seas, housed within a sunny yellow wooden frame.

I feel your pain and angst! It's a drizzly 45 degrees here in Dallas. I'm used to decorating in shorts and bare feet! I do not like to be cold! Thanks for the little warm up with the painting...it helped...a little!

The only good thing about cold is taking the time to get toasty warm. Grab another blanket! :D

Missed you at Sand Point, Susan . . . did you make it to Portland? Looks like I'll be hobbling and home-bound for awhile--am NOT a good patient. Happy Holidays to you!

It's Way too cold here! I am from Minnesota ( a Loooong time ago ) and I don't like this one bit. Though the sun is nice!
Here's to warmer temps and the rain that they bring ,

Exactly how temperate is the Pacific NW? Over the next few years we are planning to travel to areas that we may want to live one day... we like the South, just not where we live. But, I just have utopic vision of Washington and that area.

oh, I just read your complete profile... yeah, pirates over ninjas... especially if they look like Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom ;o

Smiles!
