And it Begins....
And it Begins.... In case there is anyone on here that isn't aware by now. I am not a fan of cold weather. And for further clarification, I'm in South Texas so cold to me is anything under 60F. That would be what in C...lets see divide by..carry the 2...yeah, still too friggin cold . Yesterday was a great day. Sun was out, it was in the 80's. So not too bad. And I spent the entire day on the phone, on the computer. Working on a "family" drama. Frustrating beyond belief, due to the fact that I spent the whole day on it, and never got anything resolved. Enjoyed the weather outside twice for a total of maybe 30 minutes. /sigh. Then this morning, I get up, stumble out to the kitchen to start my coffee and I hear it. Wind howling, rain pounding on the windows. I don't even want to look. But like the moth being drawn to the flame only to meet a horrible end, I have to look. Yep, looks nasty. Against my better judgement I open the back door. Holy hell...I shut it just as quick. It's 50F, wind is blowing 20+ mph, and it's raining. Just peachy. A hour later my daughters puppy is awake, and of course excited about going outside to pee. So i bundle up, with her looking at me like what the hell are you doing. Hurry up or I'm peeing on the floor!!! That is until I open the door and she's like, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT THERE. It's her first cold weather and she being smarter than me, is thinking, Nah, I'm good. I'll just pee over here in the corner. So I finally have to pick her up, carry her outside and set her in the grass. She runs for the back door. I pick her up take her back to the grass, put her down. She runs for the back door. I'd like to be mad at her, but yeah..it's friggin cold outside. Finally she figures it out. She isn't going back in till she does her deed, and pees. Thank God, we can go back in. Hour later, I'm putting on my three layers of shirts and a jacket, and I'm off to work. Drove around a bit. Checked some houses, mainly just pulled into the driveway, sat there with the heater going kind of checking. By noon, it was actually colder than it was when I was convincing the puppy to pee. So I decided to take the rest of the day off. Yeah...I don't do cold weather well at all. And yes, I know all you fine Canadians, what I'm describing is probably just a balmy Fall day up there, but still. LOL Am I the only one that truly hates cold weather?

It's all about mind over matter, dressing in layers and getting your blood thick enough to be able to handle the cold. Over here, we've been on a steady diet of vodka, maple syrup and poutine since August ... It doesn't really help with the cold , but we're so hammered and well fed - we don't give a shit.... Hmmm ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Yeah...first day of cold weather here...and I'm ready for spring. The reason it's easy for me to do HNW, is that's my normal attire during most of the year down here. It's come home from work. Throw on some shorts or a swim suit, and I'm good to go. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

I am Canadian and I can feel your pain. I am so done with winter. I retire in 4 years and it will be no more snow in the winter for me. Having said that I'd probably be enjoying shorts and the outdoors today down there.

I won't lie to you about the cold up here in Montreal... It's a humid cold. It's fricken cold...! Half of the city is buried underground and that's where we hibernate ... But like I said - layers... Oh and that other stuff too... ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Cold sucks. I still have my Cali blood which means shorts are my go to clothes. Now I'm gonna have to break out jeans and heavy shirts and jackets. Warm is sooo much easier. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Our temp overnight last night was about 37. I had the bedroom window open, fan in the window and the heat turned off. Nice sleeping weather! lol

The Beach Boys knew how to beat the cold .... "And the Northern girls with the way they kiss They keep their boyfriends warm at night" 'nuff said. {=} Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

WOW sounds like you had an interesting day, I wish we had weather like that here, but hell we are lucky to get traces of rain. That's the one think I do miss about Arkansas, the storms the rain and snow. I hope tonight is better for you and the puppy..

That's the one think I do miss about Arkansas, the storms the rain and snow. I hope tonight is better for you and the puppy.. My ex moved to Flippin, (yes that's a town) Arkansas 7 years ago, and took my youngest daughter with her. I used to have to go up there, or fly her down to see her. Now she lives with me..but we still have to go up there, because my older daughter moved there with her soon to be ex. LOL Pretty country, but waaaaay too cold. It snows. enough said.

You don't like the cold. I truly don't either. But I am home here in NH and think places in the South have too many bugs for me. Lol. My nieces moved to Waco and I should be visiting them then going to Colorado to see my nephew.(Colorado Springs). I haven't decided when to go yet. I need decent weather in both places at once. Any suggestions? LOL. Since you mentioned dogs I wanted to share a photo of my older dog. He usually likes the snow..he is a fluffy Pomeranian but in this photo he had no interest in a walk. LOL Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely

LOL That would be me, taking the dog out in the snow. Just drop the leash and head in. Dog can come on in when he's done.
