our cold snap finally reared its ugly head the sunday night- we've been riding the teens and 20s (fahrenheit-wise) since then. accompanied by typical west texas high winds making it feel even colder!
so this is me with a mug o' piping hot oatmeal at the desk. necessary fortification to muddle through a work day! :)
hot oatmeal reminds me of:
- winter camping at Sacandaga Lake in the Adirondacks - snow banks 6 feet high - sledding down steep hills
- wet socks, mittens and scarves hanging in front of (or atop) radiators or wood stoves
- mixing oatmeal flavors - opening 4 different flavors of instant oatmeal packets and pouring them into one bowl and mixing them and eating them all - banana nut, cinnamon and apple cinnamon was always a favorite mix of mine!
- coloring on paper plates or playing card games with the cousins at camp
- waiting for the school bus
- when I lived in Dannemora in upstate NY - standing in below freezing weather at 6:30 am waiting for the bus to pick me up and take me to school - and then battling for a seat with the "big kids" - darn big kids!
- snow ball fights
- snow mobiling or skidooing or whatever folks call it now
- that one time i went snow shoeing - that was actually a lot more fun than i thought it would be
alright! back to work!
