I swear a lot. It’s a seasonal thing.

Happy Friday, awesome Moxie-Dude readers!

Lately it’s been FREEZING here in Montreal. And I’m not just talking about the oh-it’s-winter kind of weather. I’m talking about the why-do-I-even-live-here type.

See the difference?

The first is about acceptance. The second makes you question your own existence. Or possibly just MY existence. (Food for thought during tonight’s insomniacal fest.)

And since I’ve been so busy swearing at the weather this week, I’ve hardly had any time to write . . .

Glimpse into my week

MONDAY

Driving along and suddenly I notice that I need gas.

“OMG it’s freezing out! I’ll fill up tomorrow morning.”

TUESDAY

“Crap. It’s freezing out. I’ll get gas this afternoon . . . when it warms up.”

WEDNESDAY

”Holy CRAP I forgot to fill up yesterday! There’s NO WAY I’m doing that now. It’s FREEZING out.

You see the theme here, right?

So in the spirit of this cold, crappy weather, I’ve decided to share my two top survival tactics for getting through winter:

1. Stay indoors.
2. Alcohol.

Feel free to apply these into your life. Unless you live in Mexico. Or Florida.

    Haha – if you live in Mexico, Florida or Hawaii then #1 changes to live outside!!! And, #2 can stay the same!

    Ha! I live on an island in Florida. I don’t envy you though the snow is very pretty. It’s a sunny 82 degrees here today on the coast. 🙂
