Brrrrrrrrr. It's Cold in Here...

...there must be some pressure in the atmosphere.

or something like that (this used to be a cheer from the squad of Lady Bears during Brown basketball games).

Seriously, it's cold outside and I'm channeling my cousin's perseverance as he's been in the Arctic for weeks where the temperatures reached -60 degrees. Ugh.

It made me think about making a list for all us to stay warm on nights like these.

10. Thick socks (have to have them).
9. Layers. Insulated shirt, over sweatshirt, over hood, under blanket.
8. Snuggle (with dog, lover, or blanket)
7. Drink hot things: cocoa, tea, or even plain water with lemon in it.
6. Take a hot shower (although this is only temporary).
5. Exercise...move about.
4. Close the damn windows. You're letting a breeze in.
3. Check your thermostat and crank it if you need to.
2. Start looking at real estate in Florida.
1. Move to Florida.

Most of us in the northern communities of the U.S. are shivering a bit this week.
