My Cold Weather Best Friends
When the cold weather hits, my best friends come out. Put to bed since last Spring, it's now time for them to do their job. Their only job is to keep me warm. They live to service me and I don't freeze at night because of them. We need each other.
These may look like disgusting old bags full of.....who knows? But to me, they are beautiful. Scraps of fabric sewed and then filled with rice or beans (I prefer rice), and heated in the microwave, keep me toasty warm.
Even when I wasn't a basement dweller, my rice packs were a must in the winter time. I used to only use one at my feet but sometimes my body would be cold, so now I'm a two bagger. One wraps around my feet and I lie the other one next to me. Within 15 minutes I can push them aside, unless I wake up cold during the night and then pull them near again. Kind of sounds like a hubby substitute, doesn't it? Everyone in our family uses them too though; and my daughter will heat hers up as soon as she gets home from school and keep it in her lap while she does homework.
Now, I just had a Deja Vu moment; I swear I've written about this before. If I have and you remember it, just move along. Geez I swear I'm starting to repeat myself more and more and if I start doing that with my blogging.....ugh.
Anyway, nothing feels better than a cold room, flannel sheets, and my nice hot rice packs at night. Well, Taylor Kitsch would make it WAY more better but I'll take what I can get.

I don't think you're repeating anything but I haven't been around long. Your new color scheme is bright and cheerful, but I hope you tire of it soon. I find it hard to read. Cheers.
