Winter has reared its cold, bitchy head. Don't get me wrong, I love snowfall. The way the crystallized white flakes make their way to the cold earth has some magical qualities. I love when the entire outside world seems to be covered in its glory.
However, I can't stand people who have no idea how to drive in the snow. C'mon people, just fuckin drive with a little caution and move out the way. More notably, I can't stand Winter's way of mocking the single people of the world. Its like Winter comes around every year for the sole purpose of poking the single people in the ass to remind them that about what they are lacking in their lives. I am blessed enough to have beautiful children to share the first snowfall of the year with, and I am thankful for that. But what is it about Winter that makes you want to snuggle up under someone bigger than yourself...with a warm drink in hand and twinkle in your eyes?
In a perfect world, we all would have a worthy partner to spend Winter with...flirty snowball fights, hand holding when you forget your gloves, dates to holiday parties, ice-skating, and of course body heat while drifting off to sleep. And what about that dreaded hour 12am on January 1st with no one to kiss?
It seems the masses of the un-coupled are in high gear looking for their Winter partners. What a great way to add to the stress of retail madness, maxed out credit cards with rising APRs and family pressure during the holiday season!
