What keeps me from going out and spending money is the torrential rains we sometimes get. I love it down here is the south (Texas) where our winters are brief or non-existant.

I live in NYC, and I think people order in more when the weather is bad. In my case, I could stay home tonight and rustle up something from my kitchen cabinets, or I could order in (that always comes to $20 with tip) or I could literally go across the street to the grocery store that's open from 7:00 a.m. to 11PM. Not to mention there are 24 hour Korean markets just three blocks away, and I'm also sleepy. For some reason, a Starbucks or a Dunkin Donuts coffee at this moment is more tempting than coffee I make myself. Food is *always* where I spend more than I plan, and this city is all about making it easy for you to spend. I'm going to make coffee and see if being more awake keeps me from ordering in.

Ok, I'll stop complaining about the sleet and slush we got here in Boston. At least I don't have to shovel it, and it should all melt soon. As for keeping the sweaters and such out, last year I don't think I put my down comforter away until late April. 22 inches of snow?

It was pretty at first, but then it got annoying. I could never do it again. Where I went to college, it snowed and was grey nine months of the year. It was pretty at first, but then it got annoying.

My short sleeve shirts are too tight, old, or stained to wear to work and look presentable. I do not have to dress up business but I do still have to look like a respectable human being and not some slob who just woke up and came to work. My sweaters still look nice so I am happy this happened. Love the blog, come see mine, please...

I love Michigan, I love the change of seasons, but winter can seriously chill out now. We had an early cold snap last fall and now a late cold snap right now and I've had enough. Six months of temps near freezing and/or with snow is a bit much for me. All I want to do is keep the windows open, let the fresh air in and spend time outside :( Well all I can say is #&%^$ winter!
