Things I HATE about winter

I am usually not the first one to complain about the winter weather. I know that I live in Indiana and it gets cold, snowy, ice covered, a bit windy and so forth. I also know that I should always have my gloves and hat on hand with a blanket and a shovel with a candle in the back of the car. Because - you know - a candle can save you from freezing.

Now I have recently lost my 2 pairs of gloves...I should probably remember to look in the evening with the lights ON rather than in the morning as I'm trying to leave for work in the dark with the lights OFF. So for now, I have giant playing in the snow gloves to wear - which I am keeping in the car in case of emergency - as a good Indiana girl would do - but for using the key to my car, they are failing.

As to my complaints...I just can't hold it in any longer. so...my list of things I hate about winter.

1. It's cold.
2. My hands get dried out
3. My lips get chapped
4. Heat costs a lot
5. The sun goes down within an hour of me being home from work
6. My dogs get stuck inside all day
7. Scrapping ice off cars - the worst is when it builds up while running errands
8. Dirty car - salt from the roads and melted snow is the worst.
9. It's cold
10. I have to wear 5 layers just to keep warm
11. I'm always cold

I think you get my point. =)
