Comment on welcoming winter.....

There's nothing like getting up before 8am (the first time in days-nay, weeks) only to be greeted by frigid temperatures.

There's nothing like calling your mother in Florida to hear that it's 65 degrees.

There's nothing like taking an extra 10 minutes at the gym before working out to undo all of the extra layers, then putting all the layers back on at the end of the workout.

There's nothing like the increased heating bill I'm scared to open.

But on the other hand.......

There's nothing like the feeling of Christmas in the air.

There's nothing like wearing Uggs and scarves and warm puffy coats.

There's nothing like hot chocolate (and the TimTam slams-thanks Lisa!).

There's nothing like watching the snow fall from a warm house (or apartment) while watching cheesey Christmas movies on Lifetime.

I guess I'll take the bad to enjoy the good.....
