I have the winter blues. I'm stuck in a place between here and there. And in the south it can be even more confusing. My little boy wore shorts on Saturday. Last night I had to turn the heat up. Way up!
The winter blues bring on all kinds of problems for me it seems. I lose my zip! I can't get a thing finished and it gets dark at five o'clock in the afternoon and I want to go to bed by six. Daylight Savings Time kicked my butt.
There's a lot of research out there that says we have good cause to be depressed in the winter due to the fact we get less sunshine. Ok, I'll say I believe that. I'm feeling pretty down these days and technically it's still Fall! But to me, winter has arrived.
On top of just having the general blues, I've got bronchitis. Yesterday I thought it was better. This morning, I'm back to square one it seems. So I'm getting my little boy off to school and crawling back into bed. How many times during the winter do you do just that?
Someone on television suggested a winter sport to get rid of the winter blues. Yeah, right. For those of you who ski or ice skate, God love ya. I can't do either. I don't live in an area where all of that kind of activity is prevalent either.
So I'm trying to figure out what to do to beat these blues. Hmmm...curl up in bed with a really great book? Now that sounds like a plan. A really steamy romance to help keep me warm--for lack of man material at this time. lol
Suddenly skiing and ice skating take on new meaning. If I were to go ice skating and fall down a lot, surely some handsome hunk would help me up. And I can see myself in a cabin in the mountains--SNOWBOUND--with a gorgeous ski instructor. How about lying on a rug in front of the fireplace? With the ski instructor. Yep. That's it. I think I've found my winter olympics--dreaming about hot hot hunks in all these fantastic romance novels. Yum.
So what are you doing to beat the winter blues?

I'm right there with you. The weather finally turned cold and I don't even want to leave the house.
I'm eating all the damn Halloween candy and drinking hot tea as fast as I can brew it...and I'm in central Florida! I hate being cold and I don't ever remember it being this cool in October.

Hi there
I’m in South Africa and we’re smack in the middle of summer. I know during winter I craved to feel perspiration running down my back, to breathe in the humidity, even to get horribly sun burnt. Now I’ve got all those things and I’m wishing I could see the snow on the mountains, actually feel as if I had a shower when I had a shower and that the lotion didn’t just slid off my body. I want spring all year round, is that too much to ask.
Thanks for being my MySpace friend, Ms. Salo. I hope you recover quickly.
LA...yep, I like staying inside. I dread going anywhere. Especially shopping. You get out of the car and the wind just tears right through you.
Wendi...a ski lodge, bearskin rug, naked man, and irish coffee. Now that I can handle. lol I'm having a margarita right now. lol It's a good way to stay warm and get rid of this bronchitis too.
April...I guess it's a matter of wanting what we don't have.
All summer long I dream of snow. I live in the southern United States and our winters are generally mild in comparison to some parts of the country. We rarely see snow. My little boy just asked me today if I thought we'd get snow this winter. We keep our fingers crossed for it. It's a definite change from the drab, dark, winter with nothing to look at but trees without leaves. Of course we have our evergreens, but I miss my Dogwoods.
Thanks for stopping by!
