I hear you. Drink some hot chocolate and Bailey's and make popcorn. Watch the Decalogue or The Up Series and the week will be over before you know it.

It went from almost ninety degrees to in the forties over two days. I am okay with either but I wish the weather would make up it's fucking mind.
Tesse I had to check your profile because it sounds like where I am! Yep. Good ole Washington. Tonight is a soup night. Of course, my husband is taking every opportunity to tell me how right he was to tell me not to change from our down blanket to a spring one.
I hate when that happens.
Just be careful Donna, you don't want to end up like Paula Poundstone: "I used to live in San Francisco. When I first moved here it was foggy and rainy and cold for two months. I thought terrific, it is sort of romantic. I'll break up an old chair for kindling, buy a bottle of wine and sit in front of the fire for a day. Two months a hopeless alcoholic with no furniture."
I don’t know why people complain about the cold!! I love it!!! I come from a place where we only have 2 seasons!! Hot and HOT AS HELL. winter is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on my life!!! All you need to do is put on some heavy clothes and that’s it you set! But with the heat it don’t matter what you do you always hot; you drink a lot of water and you pee a lot, you get AC and you have to pay mad money for the electricity and your throat gets sore, you take a lot of cold showers and you get sick! You know what fuck the summer! I want a never ending winter!!!!
I just threw the Al Gore line for fun. You'll find I'm on the "yeah, global warming is real" side of the debate.
Donna, I don’t get it how can you not love this weather…? How good it feels to get into bed all warm and fluffy, to enjoy hot chocolate! Hot showers in the morning, not walking around all sweaty and piss off! No bugs!!!! Why do people go south????THIS IS LIFE!!!
I'm also hating the cold. It can be kind of fun for a few weeks in the fall, frost nipping at my nose with the leaves all pretty colors and all, and then I'm done. I've had enough. Six months later, when I have (Oregon) the same insane roller-coaster weather week Tesse is having in Washington, I'm ready to throw things. Stop it with the rain and the drizzle and the heavy, low-hanging clouds! Those were supposed to go away two months ago.But I live in a place where it doesn't usually get terribly, terribly cold. Winter lows are usually in the upper 30's, and a freeze means the weather folks telling us all to be very, very careful, stay home if we have to, the puddles have frozen. It's nice that it rarely gets bitter cold, but it's unfortunate that no one here understands the cold. That includes the people who build, heat, and insulate buildings. I find myself wanting to wear gloves indoors between November and March, which never happened when I lived in Minnesota. I'm glad to be away from a place where you can say "ten below" and everyone just knows it means below zero, but I wish I could have taken the indoor heat with me.
I do love the way real winter is kept in captivity up in the mountains here in the PacNW. It's like a snow zoo. You can visit for the day, then go home. And the summers are typically gorgeous. (I can even grow a few tomatoes!) I just wish the buildings were insulated and my pipes didn't freeze just because it got a few degrees below zero. If they built buildings here like they do in MN, I'd be set.
Donna, come visit us in Arizona. It reached 111 degrees yesterday. It felt like my skin was going to melt off. Seriously, we have a spare bedroom, come get some heat.
Donna, I understand when you say that you just don’t like how the weather makes you cold. Although I live in a country where the only seasons are – as Alfonso puts it, hot and hot as hell, I don’t like cold weather. Yes, winter is cool, but cold is not cool.I’ll settle for Fall weather where it’s not too cold and definitely not hot!
Quit your griping and move to Florida!
I love the cold!!!!!!! I hatev that everyone wants to move to Florida!
I tend to straddle the fence and hate all forms of weather. I hate the gloom of an Oregon winter, six months of dripping gray skies can tend to wear on a person's spirits. However, I also hate the blast furnace summer of Arizona. Theresa wasn't joking about the 111 degrees. You strip down to the absolute minimum amount of clothing possible and you still feel confined. I sit at my desk with a fan blowing straight on me all day and my poor dog is curled up right at the base of it panting right into the face of it. If only there were a middle ground between too hot and too cold that were more accessible than Hawaii...
San Diego. On a day like this (still wet and drizzly), I should just close my eyes and go to San Diego in my mind. Then come back here before rush hour starts there.
I hate Cali, couldn't go swimming at the beach in August cause the water was freezing. In Miami, I go to the beach in December and February. Take pics and send them to my friends in connecticut. Evil, I know, I love it.BTW I will b in miami this weekend, any haters care to join me at the beach or clubbing in south beach?
WTF kinda friend hits you from behind?
Thats probably the lamest joke I've heard in a while.
Plus, Sweet Baby James was the real inspiration for You're So Vain.
Or so I've been told.

That has never been established. Mick Jagger is a pretty strong contender. For awhile, Warren Beatty was part of the rumor mill.
I still want a raspberry beret. With Chantilly sauce...
I thought it was, indisputably, Warren Beatty.It was certainly never about JT.
Who makes me feel three years old in my footie pajamas when my parents were fighting but I didn't quite get that, I just knew that my dad was spinning records and I got to stay up waaaaaaaay past my bedtime and sit on the speaker. Like Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.
Carly Simon mostly reminds me of the tape deck in my mom's car, going to day care. Boys In The Trees, specifically. We drove by a pond with ducks every day.
