I’d like to be a bear and hibernate
I have friends who cannot stand the summer heat. Me? I’m all for it and can’t stand winter. I’m just not cold tolerant.
As a kid, I could only wear dresses to school. My legs were always cold and needed vast quantities of lotion–check that—my whole body craved lotion.
Gloves? No.
Pants? After school and weekends.
Coats? Yes. Did you have a tough time cramming them in your locker?
Leggings? Fishnet stockings were quite popular and rather holey.
Sweater? Yes, a white cardigan, a must-have for every young lady.
Boots? No.
My toe-sies suffered and suffered until a few years ago when I discovered Ugg boots. Now, they are quite toasty. And I adore thick sweat pants and a basic crew neck sweat shirt. Cheap gloves abound, extras stashed in the car, handbag, and every coat.
Really, I miss my flip-flops. I’d like to hibernate on my couch with a stack of great romance reads and a warm blankie until winter passes.
So what’s your temperature gauge–warm weather or cold?
Coming soon: Bug Stuff and…other stories
Three hilarious short reads: “Bug Stuff”: A co-worker unites with the hunky, new accountant to fight a pesky adversary. “Just Desserts”: A political dinner gone disastrous brings together a reluctant attendee and her handsome seat-mate. “With This Ring”: The Unimaginable. When a wife forgets her little black dress for a must-attend event, all turns into something utterly romantic and unforgettable in the end.

Depends. In the summer, i long for winter. In the winter, i miss summer !!
I miss summer when it’s 14 degrees out. LOL
Hi, Janice! Me, too. The green, the being outdoors without shivering. I don’t even mind 100 degrees. BUndleup !
I love summer as long as it doesn’t reach 110…. I’m a water baby not a snow baby!
I dislike the 100+ temps as well!
Cooler … Spring or late Fall … not Summer or winter vortex. My body temp is lower than average so I get overheated easier. I prefer cooler because, as my father was always quick to point out, you can put more things on to get warm but you get down to nekkid you’re still hot. I’ll take 45 over 110 with heat index of 120 any day of the week. I DO NOT like winter vortexes!!!!!!!
LOL your father was wise, Eve 🙂
Hi, Janice! I love the green, the late evenings (do not miss the mosquitoes), my flip flops. Oh well.
Hi, Eve! Isn’t that whole Winter Vortex thing crazy! I’m so glad we were just cold here and I managed to get by with one busted pipe at this old house.
Hi, Diana! Anything over 100 is pretty hot. I get cold very easily. Like now, I have on wool socks and my toes are cold! Guess I’ll put on the UGGS. LOL. Thank goodness for them.
Born in a Scandinavian country, I’ve had more than my fill of cold. Chill blisters would break out on my legs. No matter how many layers of wool and cashmere I put on, my bones ache and I’m depressed. I love the heat, the warmer, the more I thrive. Thank the sky for Florida 🙂
Rayne, that doesn’t sound fun at all. I bet you’re glad to be in Florida. 🙂
Best of luck on your latest release! I can’t stand the winter. I’d be a bear and hibernate. Currently, I’m sitting at the dining table with a portable heater next to me! While the summer is hot and sometimes unbearable, I like that I can cool off with a cold shower and relax in front of a fan.
Hi, Melissa! I haven’t moved to get on the shoes yet and I can so tell. thank you so much. Bug Stuff comes out Feb 1! I’d love to have one of you lovelies win a copy. 🙂
Hi, Melissa! Thanks for coming by! 🙂
Summer, beaches, cookouts. That be me!
Vicki, you made me LOL with the mention of fishnets. I had them in every color. Talk about funky memories. However, I had at least two pair of boots to go with them. Back then we had to wear dresses to school and mine were as varied and crazy as the fishnets. Wild, bright colors. But I have never done the white cardigan deal. My mom bought them for me every year and I stuffed them in my book bag or conveniently left them at home. What I loved in cold weather were black turtlenecks. On rare occasion, a white turtleneck or some other color, but my casual wardrobe in the winter was jeans and black turtlenecks with some sort of awesome warm jacket. I did have a serious love affair with cool and unique jackets. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.
HI, Pam! I should have known you would show and be my summer gal. Weren’t fishnet hose a hoot. I remember a close to white pair with a stripey dress. Lol. I love white long sleeved tees under a sweater and a cool scarf over jeans nowadays. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for coming, Pam!
warm
Hello, BN100. hehe. Warm it is. Have a warm day.
I’m with you…bring on the heat! I’m not a winter person at all. 🙂
Hi, Amber! and has it been rough the last few days or what? We’re thawing here. I can only hope and pray the North and Eastern US does as well.
Thanks for coming by, Amber!
Summer all the way! I hate the cold and I can handle the heat better than most. 100 degrees? Bring it on! 12 degrees like we have now on the East Coast, forgetabout it. I hibernate. I’m always cold, like you, Vicki. Indoors now I’m wearing a thermal undershirt, sweats, knee socks, shoes and a hoodie. I miss my sandals and my flip-flops and my capri pants. I do love your stories, too.
I joined the release party but this is the first time I’ve been able to partiipate.
Glad you made it, Carolyn! Comments are still open for the other posts if you want to catch up 🙂
Hi, Carolyn! Well, thanks bunches for liking my stories. That really warms my heart. I had to venture out and put on a cashmere sweater over my shirt, wool socks, UGGs, down coat, scarf–yep, I get cold easily. However, it is warming up. I’ll have to check the weather. I want to see how the East Coast is doing. Stay toasty, friend.
I’m in Philadelphia and have been saying for the past week — “the only way I like my snow is on a Holiday card.” Thanks for the post.
Hi, Angela and lolol. I’m thinking living up North, you have a guaranteed chance of lots of snow. Heck, we can drive a few hours and get more snow. Then I remember the one two years back that was 12 inches, and a year later, 8 inches…. Holiday cards. Hugs, sweetie.
Lol Angela. Thanks for stopping by!
Love the cold weather…nice to get cozy and warm. Hate sweating and humidity! Snow is nice to see…can be a bother to shovel/drive on. But, hot coffee/tea/cocoa hits the spot!
Getting cozy with a nice warm beverage is a winter weather perk!
Hi, Marianne! Someone else mentioned hot chocolate to me yesterday and I’m so in. I love hot chocolate and naturally, a nice big swirl of whipped cream.
Sometimes, my problem is my feet don’t warm up. I agree, cuddling on the sofa with a movie and needlepoint or a great book and Handsome is pretty awesome. Actually, most times with him is awesome. Thank you!
