Baby, It's Cold Outside

Baby, It's Cold Outside

It seems like just yesterday we were offering instructions on how to make a gigantor homemade slip n' slide, so how is it that the weather is suddenly hovering near freezing (in some parts of the world at least)? Say it with me now: Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! In  between blowing on our hands and daring our friends to stick their tongues to a lamppost, we've come up with a few tips for keeping warm as the weather goes cold.

  • Don a Snuggie (or better yet, a "designer" Snuggie).
  • Carry around a blow dryer to blast yourself periodically with warm air. (The only crimp in this plan: finding electrical outlets...)
  • Eat only soup heated to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius).
  • Wear Yeti boots (the new alternative to Ugglies).
  • Don't stop moving. Ever.
  • Drink rocket fuel.
  • Wear this hat (the new alternative to wool caps).
  • Institute a snuggling policy with your family and friends.
  • Never leave your hot shower (downside: pruning, getting yelled at by your parents for insane water bills).
  • Knit yourself a wool body suit.
  • Take a tumble in the dryer. (Just kidding. Don't do this.)
  • Ask your parents to take out a loan so they can turn the thermostat up two degrees.
  • Block drafts under doors with a towel. This also works with a cat or your little brother.
  • Become an astronaut. (Those suits look warm!)
  • Layer fifteen sweaters.
  • Move to Equatorial Guinea.

How are you keeping warm as the seasons change?
