Oh, How Pinteresting! - 01.09

I debated whether or not link up today because that would involve going to Pinterest and then staying there for the better part of two hours. But I wanted to share this so I kept myself on a tight leash.

Plus, Tara is guest hosting this week!

So if it's going to be winter, let's have a real winter this year!  

I want to get snowed in

Do you enjoy winter? What is your favourite part?

Dear old man Winter...

...what the fuck? If there was an Oscar for indecision, you would win that shit hands down. For 2012 at least. I mean, I'll be the first one to admit I'm indecisive but at least my decisions or lack thereof don't fuck with people's lives. YOURS SCREW WITH THE ENTIRE PLANET! You're senile, I get it - hence the "old man" part - but that's no excuse. You've got a job to do and that's to make winter things happen during the winter season. Period.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of bitter, cold misery (don't even start!) but I do enjoy the snow storm excuse to stay in my cozy apartment all weekend watching movies and being lazy. Instead, I felt like I needed to go outside and "enjoy what's left of this good weather". That's effort, you know how I feel about effort. I'm also pissed that I didn't get to hit the slopes at all this year. I mean, I guess I could have gone away to some snowy hills, but quite frankly it just felt wrong. So in conclusion - I feel cheated and I'm escalating this issue.

I may not have followed through with my lawyer dreams (yeah, I took the LSATs then decided it wasn't my dream, and now I'm really not sure if I made the right decision) but you bet your ass I've built a case against you and we're going to use this little blog as our court room. Let the exhibits begin...

January started off mild but by the end of the month it looked like things were semi back on track, except for that lingering +7C there...

But it was not meant to be because February was as volatile as a crack addict:

Why snow and screw with people's commutes when it's just going to melt...overnight!

Really? We're going to go from "feels like -20C" to +11C in less than 24 hours? Just ridiculous.

Even more ridiculous is the fact that the forecasts for the week after that look like this:

Good news for those who celebrate St Patty's Day!

 That would be this week and so far, I can tell you it's true. I do love pulling out the spring jacket, but I would love it more if I knew for sure that I could put away the winter ones for good! Otherwise I may have called this post "Winter Wrapup"...but who knows what Sunday's weather will be!

So tell me, will this be a class action suit or did you enjoy the mild "winter"?

 

Baby it's cold outside!

For those who haven't noticed, it's winter. And if you haven't noticed, you're one ignorant douche. Sorry. It's true. No excuses. I mean, it's not like the media hasn't been bombarded with the likes of:

#snowmaggedon

#snowpocalypse

#icepocalypse

#snOMG

#snowhat

#snoverreaction

#OhSnoYouDidnt

I could go on because I love hashtags. But I won't. Anyway - unless you live in a bubble, you know this has been a real winter.

Best cure for this miserable weather? Snuggling. Obv. And since I am being robbed of cuddling for the next 3 weeks because someone wanted to go on a life-changing adventure to Southeast Asia, I figure I could at least share some snuggling-awesomeness with y'all. Don't worry, I won't come over and use you as my cuddling replacement. Wait...would you be ok with that?!

Last week, Kiley at Hello Kiley was lovely enough to share her discovery of the Snuggie Sutra. Make sure you go check out her blog too!

I don't own a Snuggie - nor do I plan on investing in one, because my apartment is already a fucking sauna - but I would love, love, love to hear about any attempts to make one or more of the above happen. Yes, this is a formal challenge.

Ready, set...SNUGGLE!
