Readers in the Buffalo State College area; my class is holding our Chili Sale today from 12 – 1pm in Caudell Hall. $5 for chili, bread, cookie, and a bottle of water. We’d love to serve you!
things I’m dreading this season –
- Snow.
- Dealing with winter coats, especially fitting my purse over a bulky shoulder.
- Having to pay $400+ that we don’t have to get the snow tires put on my car.
- Not being able to workout outside.
- Slipping and sliding all over the ice.
- Getting out of the shower into the cold.
things I’m looking forward to this season –
- Snow.
- Cute scarves.
- Building a snowman and throwing snowballs.
- Pretending to “smoke” when it’s so cold you can see your own breath.
- How comfy my Uggs are.
- Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Christmas, and New Years.
- Finding a sweater for Webster.
- Catching snowflakes on my tongue.
- Warm, cozy beds on cold, cold nights.
- Frosty, Rudolf, and the 12 days of Christmas.
- Cinnamon-scented candles.
- “Snowfall Kind of Love” by Ingrid Michaelson.
- Peppermint, gingerbread, and eggnog!
My pros list is longer than my cons; bring it on Winter!
What are you dreading/anticipating this season?
Eating Chalk 
I’m already wearing a scarf, moccassins, a scarf, a sweater, and a jacket to work. So, obviously, I’m dreading this miserable weather.
Anticipating? Lots of travel to visit friends, Christmas and Thanksgiving, and seeing my LD beau!!
LD love is definitely worth anticipating!
every time I wish I lived somewhere where it snowed regularly, I just read something like this and then I’m content with the constant rain and 1-2 snowfalls per season.
I’m excited for this term to be over! And I turn 21 in December. Yay winter.
Oh man, I hate showering when it’s cold. BUT I love hot drinks, seeing my family, Christmas shopping (and music!), walks in the snow, and winter picnics with bonfires.
If you don’t have the $400 for the snow tires, I wouldn’t sweat it. I spent the first 23 years of my life in Rochester, NY – and never once had snow tires. I know some people live and die by them, but if you’re really stressing out, you can easily (and safely) survive with out them. Just my two cents 🙂
Thanks for the advice! We actually don’t care about the snow tires in and of themselves (I only drive a few miles in total for the week most of the time) but switching the tires in general. We didn’t have snow tires last winter and when I got my flat this summer we discovered the the wheels are all completely rusted to the axles. So if I get another flat it would most likely involve towing the car (and be almost as expensive as switching the stupid tires).
