It's frickin' freezing in here.

It may be winter, but I don't have to be happy about it. It was just a short while ago that the seasonal dip in temps was welcomed by me with open arms. I lived for winter and snowfall and cold. I couldn't get enough snowboards and outerwear! What an idiot I was- being cold sucks!!! It is with bated breath and a totally unfounded fear of plane crashes that I impatiently wait to depart the frozen tundra of Southern California and go to El Salvador- where it'll be in the high 80's with water just as warm. I can't wait to be warm!!! Oh to feel the cool breeze of artificially chilled air after being in the heat and humidity!!! Secretly, I am thrilled that the surf will be on the small side- lots of waves for me! One word for you: poolside. And what is poolside, you may ask? Well, there is a lime tree for your beverage, a fridge from which to grab your beverage, a view of the ocean, WARM patio... so much you don't even know. And so, I leave the California chill for...

...where I will also be found doing this...

...and ending each day with this...

Happy New Year!!!!
