It is cold here! It fell to the teens last night, and right now the temp is hovering around 25 degrees. I know that's not as cold as many of my nothern friends, but think of it this way: a few days ago, it was 87 degrees over here! Talk about a huge temp drop!

My husband, Zeus and the kitties are huddled together on the couch under a fluffy blankie. I have a pot of homemade asian chicken and rice soup bubbling on the stove. I'm a restless person and can't stand to sit still for too long, so I'm going to make some chocolate chip cookies. Mmmmm....yum.

How does everyone else make the best of a very cold day?

I put on my snow pants, my toque, my fleecy hockey scarf (lol), sweater, and winter jacket and take the dog out to run in the snow :D After that I come home and TEddy gets on the love seat and I cuddle up on the big couch with my Montreal Canadians fluffly blanket :D

Since we get a lot of cold weather here during the winter, I'm used to it. If it's not too cold I walk the girls and when we get back I make a big mug of hot chocolate, put on really comfy clothes, curl up on the couch and read a book or watch TV (or a movie). And cuddle my girlies.

if it's bitter cold, I just stay in my jammies....park myself in front of the fire. at the magical 'legal' time of day, I have a toddy. soup is a must! (and if it's a weekend...Dave gets stuck walking the dogs!!!) right now Dave and the dogs are on the bed under a blanket watching the Daytona 500. I'm on a toddy mission and just happened to stop here. :) :)

I like to spend a cold day, like today here, under my blankets, drinking hot chocolate, watching a good movie, eating soup, and just relaxing with music.

Joce that sounds like a plan. I want to get a hot tub so badly, almost got one this christmas but hubby and I decided to get intellebeds instead. But hoping for one this summer. They are great in the winter time-so nice and relaxing

Sit under my Indiana Univ. fleece blanket.
Have a nice fire in the fireplace.
sip a glass of wine.
Read a good book. I'm reading Marley & Me now and I love it.
Had potato soup for dinner.
Watch a good movie later on tonight.

Only problem is the dogs love the cold weather and have been standing at the patio door all day wanting to go out. I hate to keep getting up and leaving my book and fire to let them out. By Wednesday it will be warm again and we can go to the park.
