What's getting me through the winter Part 1...

I love my charming old house. But even with new siding and new storm windows and curtains over the doors and various other tricks and fixes, it's still the coldest house I've ever been in. I'm a naturally warm person, which makes things tolerable, but I've spent more than my share of time in front of the roaring space heater this winter.

This is Part 1 in a series that praises the little things that have not only made my winter warmer, but have brightened the dark days.

These Woolrich slippers.
Very pink, very fluffy, very warm.
A Christmas gift from my nice Mom.
They're on my feet the minute I get home.

And the book on the table? Alas, I was not immune to the lure of the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I read all four books in five weeks. Nothing like a good, teenage vampire/werewolf fantasy to keep a girl warm on a winter's night!
