Go away, winter.

(winter view of the Capitol)

The nip in the air is taking away my zip (how cheesy but true). Now that Valentine’s Day is done and the few days of teasingly nice weather are over, I feel like crawling into my toasty warm bed and napping until mid April. Wouldn’t that be nice? I would love to call up my work and tell them that I will be out on “personal leave” for the next two months. You know, to take care of some pressing personal issues. Namely, the winter blues. Since the rent needs to be paid, I guess I won’t be so extreme. Instead I will be brainstorming on ways to make it to the big thaw.

Here’s what I’ve got so far:
paint fingernails hot pink
slather on some faux tan cream and pray I don’t turn orange
make a fruit smoothie
look at pictures of Jared running on the beach in Hawaii (see above)
turn up the heater and eat a popsicle
put on my coat and embrace the cold – just run outside and give that cold air a friendly hug
