-11 degrees F. here. Was out to do chores & kept moving. A good cup of Tetley British tea ( can get tea bags at Wal Mart) & honey in a cup of steaming hot water goes over good with some homemade oatmeal toast in front of the woodstove with two cats sitting on my lap. :D Prefer cooler weather over hot weather.
-34 C here this morning and I don't think it will go higher than -20 IF we're lucky. The fireplace is roaring and it's 74F inside so nice and cosy. I don't know if I'll venture out for some shopping or just stay curled up in the heat. I keep looking for signs of Spring but I don't think it's time yet :D
I have down booties, a down comforter, and usually wear polar fleece clothing in layers. My house has spare rooms that are now closed off to the heat, to try to keep the main rooms warm. My pets keep me warm at night, in a half heated bedroom.
It is to get -15 or lower, tonight. I am glad I'll sleep through it! I do have a dog right now and will need to wake up at 6ish in the morning, to let her outside to go potty. That's when I put on the down vest AND the down coat. Oh, I have sheep skin lined boots and gloves.
BRRRRR!
Hot tea in the evenings, works for me!
I always want a big ole pot of home made soup!
Yes very cold here in Ohio as well. Niece Linda bought me pink bunny PJ's from Victoria's Secret and that is what I am wearing today as I clean a bit, do paperwork and relax.
I have heavy socks on my feet along with pink slippers as it seems like the cold air travels on the floor. Burrr cold toes.
To relax I read with hot cocoa or coffee or tea with a kitty or two snuggled next to me or I put in my new Sex and the City CD's and exercise while I watch the girls be bad in NY.
Wishing everyone safety.
I also went out and left bird food and some hay outside for the wild ones. The poor creatures most be cold and hungry.
I love winter and have been outside quite a lot enjoying the cold, I'll take this over spring and summer any day!
When I'm inside to stay, it's in sweats under the blanket with hot chocolate and Groucho. I always say a prayer for the homeless and those without heat, unlike too many others it's my choice to go outside in this frigid weather.
A warm bowl of Campbell soup (any kind) and french bread.:) Yum Yum
Apparently, I need to modify my initial response.
I made a batch of brownies this evening, and Dad and I ATE ALL OF THEM! :eek: That was supper. :D Nice and warm now, ha haaa.
Hot chocloate, kicked up a notch with cayenne pepper.
Hot Tea (I have an addiction to Teavana)
BUt the warmest of all is a Cincy on my lap. She loves to jump up in the evening and watch some TV with me!
Although it doesn't get as cold in CA, I do like to drink some hot chocolate before going to bed. It also helps that I usually have 3 cats sleeping with me on my bed.:)
What about your hunky hubby??? :love::love::love: :o:oQuote:
