Baby It's Cold Outside

     Honestly its not that cold, but it feels cold, and that my dear is all that matters.
  

                                           
   Plus its so dark, and that makes me feel colder, I think I feel a flake!!!!
   Winter is trying to get me, but I am prepared.
   Being prepared and particular, are two "Ps" that I hold high.
   I have made sure that I walk somewhere, sometime, even in this blizzard of thoughts.
   I keep at least seven books on my Kindle at all times, charged and warm to the touch!
   Reading Yes Please by Amy Poehler, and hooting with laughter, on this winter week.

  You have to feed your curiosity, during these bleak days. Its a job, like any other. You get up, dress up and show up. Daily I find so much to leap for joy about, even with this frozen breath beating down on me.

  Today the antique store, was filled with Christmas delight, and the man taking the money, was oh so talkative. He starts by saying, " I know I have told you this before, but I love your purse!" ( I have only been in this store twice) Its Christmas so, I spoke through my singing of carols, " Thanks, I do too, its one of my favorites."  Then "the man" ( I don't what to call him) ( An antique Elf) said, " In fact I like all that you have on, well I just like you!" Honestly, it was just a Christmas miracle of some weird adoration, and I said, " Thank you so much........." then he interrupted me....man talking, " Did I tell you I lost my wallet over Thanksgiving break!!"  OK Lord, hear we go, " Oh that is horrible, sorry ...." man talking...." My Neiman Marcus card, I have got to get a new one, Oh and I hope you have a Merry Christmas, I love your purse!"
( Please older women, wrapping each of my little red glasses that I found, hurry)
 I left with a smile, and worn out, this cold weather and too much conversation, I needed a nap.

 Second wonderful thing, NAPS! In the winter I can take a good nap, with the animals. In the summer, its too nice to waste time on a nap. Winter naps, with the Christmas tree on, the dog and the cat with me, phone turned off, a quiet house, what a perfect piece of time.

I have a minute of me time, right now, after supper to write, and my family considers it work! Because I have taught them well! So they are in there on little spots.

I think this cold night in December, is not so bad.

I feel a certain calmness, I do hope its not the cold, slowing down my heart rate!
No I think it is a peace, that only winter can bring.
Baby Its Cold Outside, and I feel warm.

( Please note, I have on many layers!!)
( Read Amy P's book, what a jewel)
