How is anyone expected to be as happy in the winter as they are in the blissful, bird songed, green leafed days of summer? And in many ways recent changes make me believe that I am as happy and more so, though my cold feet and numb fingers don't tend to share the same assumption.
Anyway, I'm spending my night with two lesbo cocker spaniels, Deliliah and Midge, the depressing edith piaf move "la vie en rose", a bottle of wine, some double layered socks and the sweatshirt that I haven't dared to take off in days.
So, this is my life in pink. That is to say, pink cheeks, pink nose, pink hands.
"La vie en frostbite".
Seriously people. 18 layers and frozen streets and boots that draw blood from my ankles? Gusts of ice that pierce my corneas? Bruised knees and aching wrists? Why on earth do we deal with this every year?
I go to bed with a Nalgene of hot water every night, poor substitute for some man's hairy legs. Much harder to warm my toes AND my arms with just one water bottle. I wonder if they make ho- water-fillable body pillows? If so, I am willing to pay the price.
Oh, and Happy Holidays and all that jolly crap!

Updates from the right side of the river...
Hidee Ho! It is already December 6 and I have no idea where the last month has gone. 'Tis the season , as the cliche goes, it rings true as the annoying Salvation Army jinnglers in Harverd Square.
Life has been hectic but really good. I am so happy to be settled in my new apartment in Davis Square. I love the location, being in the Cambridge/Somerville scene makes so much more sense for me and I feel much more at home here than I ever could have in Brookline. Here there are artistic hipsters in my age bracket that are not married and/or working at Fidelity downtown. Davis has everything I could want except for the majestic convienience of a Trader Joe's a few steps from my doorway. Alas, the sacrifice was necessary and so far have not starved for lack of pizza dough in my fridge.
I've actually only stayed in my new apartment half of the nights since I've moved in. I have more pet sitting jobs this month than I really would like. Julie already feels abandoned, but I am making some extra money that should help off set the rent hike that I've taken on.
We've had some fantastic and fun visitors so far, and I'm looking forward to hosting many a laughter filled nights here... and plans are in the works for a housewarming party in mid January.
