She’s My Kind of Rain

January 22nd, 2010

Since the past few days have been dark and stormy, I feel like I’ve somehow experienced my first harsh winter. I know that throwing on my Hunter boots doesn’t exactly classify as arctic conditions, but nonetheless, I’ve been having a bit of trouble coping. You can only have soup for lunch so many times and even the concept of curling up to watch movies has become tiresome. For those of you that actually experience really cold temperatures for months at a time, what are your tips/tricks for not going stir crazy? Now if you’ll excuse me, my hot and sour soup should be arriving in moments and I’ve got a movie to finish.

ohboy…I’ve been hearing complaints from all my west coast friends since last week about the rain and cold…meanwhile, here in NYC we’ve been freezing our toesies off for months with no end in sight. and today it started raining! at least it was sunny the last few days…I find myself hoping for snow bc at least it’s not cold and rainy and completely depressing.
I do much of the same as you…wear boots, drink soup, stay in and watch movies…but I also take advantage by wearing cosy sweaters, fun cold-weather boots, going to a museum or a gallery in the city, going shopping, seeing a movie with a friend, reading a book, working on photos, taking photos…I love photos in the rain…

indoor tanning! It’s amazing what a boost of uvb can do for you during perpetually gray times. Just don’t burn. Use good lotion. And never turn into the old lady from Something About Mary. That’s just wrong.

I live in London and it’s perpetually damp and gray and chilly. Today I spent 6 hours designing and painting a cheap pair of white sneakers. It was incredibly engrossing and now I have fabulous new shoes!

I wish I could say the same… I’m in Perth Australia and I can’t take much more heat! Its 30′celsius + every day and the sun just won’t stop shining from 4.50am – 8.50pm and it’s killing me.. I gaze at the scarves on the back of my door, my spare closet of coats… I die..

You would think my lovely state of Ohio isn’t really that harsh in the winter months..but that is a terrible lie!!!
Each day it’s a suprise as to what the weather will be, one day it may be barely snowing and by that evening there are a couple of inches, or it will be slightly warm, like 40 degrees and pouring rain…and then the next day it will be brillantly sunny but bitterly cold…mother nature is a tricky one!
However…my best way to cope is pretty simple, adorable rain boots (pink n white polka dots work well for me!), super comfy snow boots that never look cute but at least they’re warm and colorful scarves in bright colors like yellow and bright blue. Of course, Starbucks doesn’t hurt either
Stay warm dry and happy!

Liquor delivery service, upbeat music and a cute pair of boots can go a long way ha ha. I live in MN, where the motto is less about lemons and more along the lines of, “when life gives you blizzards, make snow angels” but even so, at some point the only cure is a good vacation.

Try under 10 degrees here in MN and it’s ice raining so not only are we freezing we have to worry about safety on the roads as well! I usually do as many projects as I can inside (sort through mags, sew, catch up on mending). I HATE winter so I’m solving that problem in about 6 months, I’m joining you in LA!!! So excited!
