winter

winter to me is:

• wet
• cold
• chapped lips
• dry hands
• cold feet the entire time
• dirty (i feel like i always have to wash all my pants)
• hard to get out of bed because i'm afraid of the freezing air
• ugly when inversions set in in utah
• horrible drivers who don't know how to drive in the snow
  

But its also:

• pretty and white some days
• brings hot chocolate season
• inspires me to turn on my oven more which means...
• more baked goods :)
• christmas
• gorgeous mountains
• cute coats
• comfy scarves
• boots

i've never been a big fan of the winter season. this year i'm a bit more indifferent. i'm starting to notice a few more of the better parts of the season.

it is still the very beginning. my feelings could change quickly.

like tomorrow, when i have to go to the DMV at 7 in the a.m. to renew my license.

yes, i have been putting it off day after day and am now forced to wake up early on my very own birthday and head to possibly one of the most miserable places on earth.

oh well.

in 4 minutes it will be officially my birthday.
