Based on personal experience and observations of others, this is how to winter:
-
Celebrate drink-related fake things during the week like “Taco Tuesday” and “Wine Wednesday” because as you age you suddenly need a reason to drink too many margaritas or glasses of wine on a weeknight.
-
Look super pale and deathly like the objectified models in ads that can embed themselves into the subconscious mind (you go, girl!)
-
Stare out into the night with your hand on the window and sing a made up, melancholic song to confuse your boyfriend. They like that.
-
Sled or ice skate, I guess, if you like that sort of thing.
-
Get out of town with your hubby for a weekend getaway to Cabo or the Caymans or whatever! Or, if you’re poor or single, or both, try wearing a bikini and cranking up the heat one evening and just pretend! It’s all the same!
-
Complain about winter on Facebook until it finally gets God’s attention.
-
Wrap yourself up in a blanket like a burrito. That’s fun.
-
Try to blog, but delete every post because “it’s dumb.”
-
Don’t worry about completing posts, especially when your boyfriend is loudly singing Janis Joplin in your ear. It’s distracting.
I think #6 will be especially effective. Throw Twitter into the mix, and spring is bound to come sooner. Social media is behind climate change, right?

That sounds like a good plan. Hopefully it won’t be necessary much longer. I hear it’s supposed to warm up next week here, or at least here’s hoping. Good to see you back, by the way. 🙂

I would feel 0% bad about getting sent home from work. Think of all the ways you could get sick in this weather! It’s better to play it safe and make like a burrito and keep warm. Spring is coming eventually, right?

I do look sickly without makeup. He wasn’t wrong, and being a warm burrito is a whole lotta right. 🙂

I think I did at least four of these during our half-arsed winter.
