This Year's Winter Rant

‘Tis the magical time of year when I remind everyone in the whole world why I HATE winter… let me count the ways!!!

One- IT’S COLD
Two- IT’S COLD
Three- I NOW HAVE A COLD BECAUSE IT’S COLD
Four- IT’S COLD
Five- I can’t breath
Six- I have to use a fan when I sleep because I can’t breath which makes it more COLD!!
Seven- I can’t wear T-shirts and sandals
Eight- I can’t keep the door open
Nine- The sun now comes up before it should
Ten- The sun now goes down before it should
Eleven- IT’S COLD
Twelve- Everything is dead or dying (except for the little ‘I love winter’ bug that has given me a… COLD!)
Thirteen- I’m blowing my nose on napkins because there is no Kleenex
Fourteen- My feet are cold and I HATE wearing things on my feet
Fifteen- I hate sweating underneath layers of cloths that cannot be taken off because then it would be too... you guessed it... COLD!

I will NEVER understand why people enjoy winter. There is nothing romantic about it at all. Everything is dead and cold… and… in all honesty… it’s not even that cold, yet! AHH!

An Article Worth Repeating...

A lady after my own cold and frozen January heart...

End Your Lying, Boldly Declare: 'I Hate Winter'

If there's one thing I hate, it's those perky fresh-faced freaks telling me how much they just love winter.

"The snow, the cold, bundling all up for a brisk walk in that beautiful sparkling air. It's so refreshing!" they say.

It stinks. Having surgery is more fun than winter. Pick a ward, any ward. They cover you up with one of those nice heated blankets, give you drugs. You lie around, watch Jerry Springer, get a big thrill out of having your first post-op movement.

You've got something positive to think about -- your repair -- and a brighter future to look forward to. Nurses pamper you, friends bring chocolates, and each day of healing brings improvement. So... wherever you are, whatever you're doing right now, dig deep for the courage to finally be heard, stand and deliver your message!

The relief and the freedom you'll feel will astound you.

Besides, I really believe those people who claim to love winter are lying, self-deluded, in denial, or just seriously in need of professional help.

Really, what's to like? I love my yard, but right now, like most of you, I'm only using about 5% of it, and I have to shovel to get at it.
