9 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT WINTER
-----------------------------------------------
1. I love hot soups and a big pot of beans in the winter
2. I love a fire in the fireplace, the smells and toasty warmth it gives off. There is just NOTHING better than sitting in my chair at the cabin next to the fire with a good book.
3. I love, love, love Christmas. I love decorating my house and the tree and seeing everyone elses decor.
4. I love the baking that goes along with Christmas during the winter months. The smell of fresh baked anything is just wonderful!
5. I sort of like warm sweaters and the layering to cover up the extra poundage that comes along with the Christmas baking!
6. I love...
7. blank

9 THINGS I HATE ABOUT WINTER
-----------------------------------------------
As many know when I write here, I really do hate winter most of the time.
1. I hate the cold. I hate the cold. I hate the cold. My bones and joints and fingers and toes and ENTIRE body hate the cold. Always have.
2. I hate what the winter does to the landscape. The desolation of leaves off of the trees is so depressing for me. It's sad but deep in my soul I know that spring is just around the corner and the trees need a rest.
3. I hate the wet, cold, dreary days and gray skies.
4. I hate that I can't sit outside and feel the warmth of the sun. I need the light.
5. I hate the poundage I do put on because my body basically wants to hibernate and not move much but yes EAT!
6. I hate the short days when it's dark when I leave for the office and dark when I head off. (The good side of that is now I have windows in my office to see the dreary days.)
7. I hate that tax season is just around the corner so the few months of stuck inside is spent getting my taxes together.
8. I hate making New Year's Resolutions!
9. I hate failing in completing my New Year's Resolutions!
