I'm so glad I did this! I feel better already! If anybody has any great winter activites, please feel free to share!
I also want to publicly thank my mother-in-law. When she visited in October, she bought us a three pack of Puffs Plus Tissues with the lotion. If you know me very well, you know that I am cheap and am "knock-off brand" loyal (go great value)! This was definitely the case for tissues (usually I just use toliet paper). I came down with a horrible cold this week and busted out the Puffs and they were AMAZING. My nose never got raw and they really held up through major blows (sorry if that's too much info). I'm SOLD! It's one small way of pampering yourself when your sick!

I'll endorse the puffs with lotion. James even went to the store last winter for those specifically, for me and my nose. What a great non Debbie Downer post. he he. Soup and non sweaty--my favs.
I love your non-complaining attitude! And I too endorse the puffs with lotion. My girls have been pretty sick this week, so I splurged for the "baby noses", but then left them (the puffs not the girls) at my mom's:) Poor babies are back to the TP. (Ahhh, I sound like Debbie) What I meant was we really enjoyed the puffs while we had them:) Anyway, they really are great.
And you've inspired me to make soup tomorrow... mmm... don't you love winter.
You crack me up. Way to be optimistic about things you can't change. And an even better reason to be optimistic: a brand new dishwasher! Less dish time rain or shine! I feel like January is my month of blahs. Yea, it's over. Keep your chin up and hey, at least you're not having earthquakes! lol.
I got mixed up! The tissues are really the Puffs with lotion. Whoops, I need to find a new picture! Sorry!
I'm so glad that you got to read "A tree grows in Brooklyn". It is Cathy's favorite book and one of my favorites as well. I even have it on CD if ever you have a long road trip and want Seth to enjoy the book as well. Your list of positive things was great. I'm in a February blues time now. I just got sent home for the flu. Now maybe I'll make some soup. :) Amber A.
Way to be positive! We will make it through February!
Glad you found our blog. I too love the puffs with lotion. They've been our best friend the past week. We've all been sick.
February is a hard month in Michigan! Way to stay positive! I think you listed everything I could possibly think of that is good about winter. I guess you could add skiing to the list.
Hey i totally agree. On saturday it was -12 up here! you are right, there are great things in winter!
I'm so glad I read your post (I've been spying for some time now, but I think we're finally official.) Just got back from AZ and was easily finding all the terrible things about the winter here, but you snapped me out of it. Thanks, sharon!
