Why I Love Winter

It's true: I love it. I'll tell you why.

1. Rain- I have a darling pair of rain-boots.
2. Flooding- I feel like I get my money's worth out of my kayak. 
3. Power Outages- I love a legitimate excuse to sleep in and drop my kids off late. 
4. Cold Air- I look fantastic with a cold, wet nose. It makes me think of cute puppies. 
5. Vitamin D is sooooooo overrated. 
6. Soup is my favorite meal to prepare. 
7. My children play so much better indoors than outdoors. 
8. Snow- Shoveling the sidewalk is the P90X of winter outdoor workouts. Buffed arms by spring! 
9. Sitting on a cold toilet seat in the morning really is better than a cup of coffee to wake you up. Cheaper too!
10. I save so much money not getting pedicures. 
11. Ice- it's makes you more graceful than ballet. 
12. My cracked, dry hands are just an excuse to do paraffin treatments. 
13. Holidays- seeing all that family.
14. Seeing all that family- drinking all those booze to cope.
15. It's really fun carving designs in ice/frost covered car windows. 

So there you have it. Some of the reasons why I embrace winter.
