dogs fire

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:

chocolate-oatmeal

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:

costco heat dish

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.

    we actually put a heating pad in my dogs bed. She loves it. Keeps her nice and cozy!

    And then i sleep with an electric blanket or else everyone else in the house yells at me for turning up the heat!

    Aww Batman has it figured out. 🙂 My cats are like that with heaters. Although..once one of them burnt his paws because he stretched on it! Ouch!

    Those pictures are darling, I love the one with batman in front of the heatdish. It remains me of my cat back in Oregon she would get close to the heater when it was in the living room in the winter.

    And I have been craving ice cream too and it’s like 31 degrees outside!

  5. Jamie @ Don't Forget the Cinnamon says:

    Awwww so cute!! I always seem to crave ice-cream when it’s cold out and then immediately regret eating it because my fingers and entire body then get so so cold!

  6. Tanya @ Dine, Dash, and Deadlift says:

    It’s actually not odd at all that you were craving ice cream despite the chilly weather. Seems wrong, but ice cream sales actually increase in winter months. Theories as to why usually revolve around people seeking comfort foods….but my personal opinion is that it may be because pie concumption increases and what goes better with warm pie then some ice cream? – NOTHING! Ergo, more ice cream eating in winter! 😉
