Favorite things to do on cold, snowy winter nights

read in the bathtub

look out the window and see if it's still snowing

3. SLEEP

Like tonight.
It's about 3 degrees in Kansas City.
About -8 wind chill.

Give me...

My warm king size water bed.

2 comforters.

Clean sheets. (got those)

Four pillows.

Burrow down inside like an Alabama tick.

Man...it's like being back inside the womb.

I got a window cracked, the heat turned down to a blow every now and then.

And I am buried down inside an envelope of warmth and comfort.

But God help me if I have to get up in the middle of the night to take a leak!

13. LOL! I think you've covered it all...

I just changed my sheets this morning, I made a rather hearty ribs with sauce, cracked a window (need fresh air, even when it's 10 degrees out) and made some tea.

"Man...it's like being back inside the womb."

I never thought of bed that way, but you might be right. I curl up into a fetal position within minutes! ;-)

with the fire blazing.

5. Settle down with a cup of tea and a good book.

6. Fix a hot toddie, or a cup of hot chocolate or cider

Curl up with Hubby in bed under our nice, warm comforter. ;)

7. Two easy steps:

1 -- the beverage of yor choice; and
2 -- Gordon Lightfoot's "Song for a Winter's Night"

Well, three:

The bell rings and the companion of your choice is at the door.

8. Write threatening letters

Drink

(my apologies to the estate of Mike Royko)

9. Snuggle with your loved one

And watch silly movies. I recommend Psych-Out(1968), with Jack Nicholson, Susan Strasberg, Dean Stockwell and Bruce Dern.

"Stoney! Stoney! Warren's freaking out at the gallery!" :D
