It's Feeling Like Spring!

Okay, so I know spring doesn't technically start until the middle of March. But, in the middle of February, it is starting to feel like spring!

This past week, I haven't had to bundle on the mittens, hat, scarf, winter coat, and boots. It has been so nice!

I am one of those people who loves the warm weather (not hot - just nice and warm!). I love being able to just sit outside, even if I have to wear a sweater. But in jeans, a t-shirt, and a sweater. That's so nice. I hate the freezing cold weather! It's so brrrr ... not fun! It is just such a relief after the cold winter.

It is also so pretty outside. With the flowers growing. And starting your garden. Okay, I don't have a garden, but I want to have one!

I want spring to come even faster now!

How To Make It Through Winter

Winter is my least favourite season. It is just cold and miserable outside! So here are my suggestions for activities to do during the winter!

1. Actually make use of the snow by sledding, making a snowman, or having a snowball fight.

2. Catching up on a school course that may need a bit of work.

3. Taking up a sport that can be done indoors, such as swimming, rock climbing, tennis, soccer, squash.

4. Renting movies from the library or video store, making some hot chocolate, and hanging out with your friends, family, or a special someone.

5. Take time to think of the perfect Christmas and birthday gifts for friends and family.

6. Attend a concert. There are lots of indoor ones!

7. Cheer on your local hockey team (or another sport that is popular in your town during winter).

8. No girlfriend or boyfriend? Finally sign up for online dating!

9. Have your own party. Get some good music and drinks and invite some friends over. Party it up!

10. Spa day. If you want to, actually go to a spa. Or get your friends or some family members together for a home spa kit and bonding time.

11. Try out a new cookie recipe. Chocolate chip cookies are delicious, but find a new interesting recipe!

12. Research night classes at a local college. Who knows, you may find something worth taking!

13. Spring cleaning. It can happen in winter.

14. Find a way to make a little extra cash by doing some online work.

15. Work on your resume and cover letter. Get some helpful hints online. Redo them. Also, make a portfolio.

16. Learn how to cook. And start by making healthy and tasty supper for your family.

17. Make a goal to visit every bar or pub within ten km of your house.

18. Buy an exercise DVD. Actually use it.

19. Blog!!!
