July 14th The Positive Side to Winter

In an effort to keep myself chirpy, as in chirpy chirpy cheep cheep on these cold, wintry days, I decided to focus on the positives. Here is my list...

1. Working from home is a big plus and if it is a day where it is not even possible to venture out, you can stay in your jimmy jams all day and no one is the wiser
2. It is easier to sleep (well not for me, because I am an insomniac and have erratic sleep patterns), but there is no poking one leg out from the duvet to cool off or tossing the duvet off all together
3. You have to admit the food is wonderful. Pots to the brim with comfort food. No rabbit food and crunching on lettuce leaves
4. Your house is toasty warm, and when you do have to venture out, it is always a pleasure to return to a warm home
5. You constantly check the garden, but don't have to garden. It is a pleasure to see the first tulip leaves emerge from their dark hiding place, and every day you check for the first freesia bud. Still waiting, but they will flower eventually and then you know Spring is around the corner

I am surprised I got to 5 on the list. Actually there is 6 and this is a biggie!!  But I saved the best for last.  Drum roll please...... Please pretend you can hear a drum roll at this point in time. Actually why do they call it a drum roll, because the drum doesn't up and roll away does it? OK let's refer to it as a drum bang boong a bang boong boong

You can have the most super, hairiest legs and no one is none the wiser because your winter wardrobe consists of leggings, and more leggings. Who knows what lurks under there on your calves?  You can embrace the feminist movement and for a shortwhile, this little Mama's Helper gets a respite
