I want my downtime to look like this....

....brrrrrrrrrr
The weather forecast for this weekend is pretty dismal.
COLD. scratch that. downright, outright FRIGID.
blustery with unrelenting wind gusts
snow flurry fall
icy roads
frozen windshields
tingling fingertips

{via::special thanx}

it's beginning to ever so slowly sink in that,  my wishes for the return of warm weather is sooo far in my future. {gives me something to look forward to *wink*}.

So I've decided that, in order to stop whining so much about this polar climate change, perhaps if I make a list of things that I like about this unavoidable artic blast. 

So in hopes of feeling warmer here's my list of

 Winter WonderLusts::

* big, bulky knit sweaters

* Boots! Glorious Boots!

* hot cocoa and warm fireplaces

* watching neighborhood children sled ride...from inside of the bay window

* the magical silence of snow falling

* the patterns formed by the tread marks of passing cars

* warm soup!

* outdoor fireplaces

* sleeping on flannel sheets
* catalog shopping
* warm fuzzy socks
* warm fuzzy slippers
* thinking about warm-weather d*lites {couldn't resist!}

* reading a novel on a slow Sunday afternoon

* three major holidays, back to back

* New Years Eve celebrations! 

...now that wasn't so bad

I think that list should sustain me for now...

What's on your winter wonderlust list?

So my Luv-lies....have a magical weekend
