Give me hot chocolate already! I’ve been talking about this for the past several weeks. Probably since the weather dropped from 87 to 27 degrees without warning. But I don’t care! Everyone will hear me complain about how I want hot chocolate as I continue not to buy some.
I’m a whole adult with a whole car, living in a whole city with multiple means of transportation. I also live walking distance from several stores where I can get a box of powdered hot chocolate in which I can make at home. Of course, I have a marvelous habit of making life more complicated by not always doing things that make sense.
I freaking love this hat that has cutie pie colors and a fuzzball at the top. I wear mittens and complain about how I’m often get mistaken for a high schooler. I put a photo of me in one of those dating sites to send a message to potential suitors of how I’m probably going to look when they meet me…especially, in New England- mainly, in the months September thru April. I’ll be bundled up, with a scarf, my hat with a poof ball on top, mittens, glasses and looking 13-years-old in case you need to find me.
Winter is not my favorite season, but I do have things I love about it (besides hot chocolate and fuzzball hats). Here are some things I enjoy about the winter season:
1. I’m the person who loves sleeping with the covers on. I try it during the summer months- it doesn’t make sense, but people drink Dunkin’s iced coffee in negative 20-degree weather. Yes, I’m talking to you Rhode Island, you don’t make sense, I AM judging you.
2. I love heat. Winter is an excellent opportunity to drink hot teas, hot coffees, HOT chocolates, hot cocoas, hot lemon water. The way it eases in brings me joy and comfort.
3. I love my teddy bears. They’re mine. I sleep with the teddy bear my parents bought me for my 27th birthday. And Rhode Island, before you say anything, you march through the ice and snow with heavy winter coats on to get a large iced coffee- extra, extra.
4. All the goodies from the holidays!
5. Everyone seems nicer November and December. And well, I’m a softy, it warms my heart. It seems like donations get larger and people start getting closer.
Winter has its perks! They’re what keeps me going when I hear that it’s going to snow and I need to drive in it.
