I don't do winter well.

If the thermometer dips below 70 degrees for more than two days in a row, I will complain.  So all you who love this time of year, I'm warning you now.

Our weather here in Central Florida has been unusually cold.  Unless you count last winter, which was also unusually cold, meaning we endured entire weeks of under-70 degree weather.  Brutal. 

You might hear me say that I don't mind cold weather.  But the truth is I just like to wear my winter clothes. Sweaters and jeans are a nice change from shorts and flip flops. (I have been known to wear my flip flops all winter long. At least the ones that I can wear with socks, of course.)

I'm tired of getting dressed and undressed each time I walk from indoors to the chilly outside.  Not only does it take too long for this time-challenged gal, I'm constantly having to backtrack to find where I've left my coat.  I can barely be trusted to have my car keys in hand when I leave the house.  Add in a coat and scarf, and it's a guarantee I'm going to be late to wherever I'm going.

So let me apologize in advance for being whiny this time of year.  I have to go outside now so I can cover my plants with their winter wardrobe of mismatched sheets and blankets.

Now where are my flip flops?
