There's snow way we can handle it.

So, today the northeast is being slammed with another nor'easter and I bet everyone is excited if they got off work and school. However if you're chronically cold like I am this is probably a rough day for you no matter where you are. Our biggest excitement will be keeping our power today so we don't lose the heat. Here are 5 more struggles of a chronically cold girl.

1. You Need Like 100 Blankets

Even if you had 100 you would still need more. I sleep with three blankets and I need like 200 more because otherwise I'll freeze. Oh, and body parts sticking out of the blanket. Yeah, forget about that foot Cindy, it's frostbitten. You need to cut it off prospector style now.

2. Space Heater? More Like Foot Warmers!

Let's be honest, we need a small army of these to even think about heating our lower body. Then we need one of those things that blasts hot air on you in the grocery store for above where you're sitting to heat the top of your body. Then you need the fire department on speed dial for when things inevitably go south.

3. You Have to Wear Full Winter Gear to Work at Your Desk

Gloves? Check. Snow Suit? Check. Mom's Faux Fur Coat? Check! Plus the other 30 t-shirts, leggings and pants you piled on this morning. You'll probably have to get out your early spring parka too!

4. No Amount of Hot Beverages Can Save You

Even though Starbucks' symbol is literally a Pagan goddess, she can't save you from your coffee turning cold and you having to microwave it so you don't freeze. Even then, it will only placate the frost demons for so long.

5. All Your Joints Hurt

Because the cold is penetrating deep into your soul and unsettling your bones. Or you actually just have arthritis and there's no cartilage to speak of in your joints, so the cold is like an ice pick to the knee.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
