Gloomy.
If you look it up in a dictionary, you might see a photo of our weather these past three days: cold, windy, rainy.Gloomy.
My cold-fighting weapons include:
A big, warm bowl of Five Minute Chocolate Oatmeal.
And: fleece pants, fluffy blankets, and hot showers. (Hot showers are the best!)
Batman’s cold-fighting weapon:
The Costco heatdish. I swear, my dogs are like moths. If there is a heat dish or fireplace lit, they will gravitate towards it and reuse to move until someone turns it off. (Batman and Henry still live at my parents’ house. I miss them! They’re close, though, so I visit often.)
When cold, eat… ice cream??
Yesterday morning, the deluge of rain temporarily gave way to a light mist, allowing me to bundle up and go for a run. After breakfast and a hot shower, I actually felt a bit warm and, oddly enough, was craving ice cream. Tomorrow’s post will be for my ice cream recipe. So, to keep warm while eating the ice cream, you might want to invest in a Costco heatdish of your own.
Batman’s not sharing his.
Your puppy is so cute! I’m currently looking to get a dog. 🙂 And I love eating ice cream on a cold day, next the fire of course. 🙂
I love fires and warm robes when it’s cold out!
Hehehe they are the cutest things, ever! I love puppy dogs! I just want to curl up by the fire with mine sometimes!
Hey the body wants what the body wants – ice cream sounds good to me!
The puppies are so adorable. My cats are the same with heat. You’d think being covered in a thick coat of fur would do but they love it!
How funny. I live in WI where it’s almost always FREEZING in the winter and I’ve never heard of a hotdish! Would have come in handy when the heater died in my apartment and it was a chilly 54 one night! How showers definitely helped! 🙂
I crave cold drinks when I’m cold- it’s the weirdest thing. …… I’m like a moth to flame too when it comes to finding warmth!
Awww you must miss your puppy when he’s with your parents! Is he coming to live with you soon? That’s been the hardest part about college for me…leaving my dog at home 🙁
I always crave ice cream in the winter! It’s definitely pretty strange. But I love it!
Adorable puppies! I would love to be at home right now curled up in a blanket by the fireplace, instead of sitting at my desk!
Those chocolate oats look deeeeelish! Just curious – have you tried this recipe with quick oats? If not, any suggestions for using quick instead of rolled oats?
I haven’t, but you can definitely do it! When I use quick oats for something, I always just use less liquid and know that it cooks faster :).
