Lifestyles of the poor and married - take 2

As mentioned in Lifestyles of the poor and married - take 1, we are momentarily poor in hopes of not being homeless. We are also freezing.  In case you haven't heard, because you are living under a snow covered rock, the weather sucks.

I'm trying to look on the bright side. 

You can't eat snow when it is warm.

You can't make snow ice cream when it is warm.

Okay, I can't think of anything else. Apparently, the only good things about snow have to do with consuming it.

Oh! You can't sled on grass! 

However, you can slide down a hill on a water slide and not freeze your butt off. That sounds nice.

I wanted to take advantage of the snow and get out of the house. We don't have sleds. Nor do we have $30 to spend on one.

So, we grabbed a rubbermaid container lid and large piece of cardboard and Boone's leash and hit the park!

There were kids on the good hill, but they had real sleds. That was slightly embarrassing.

Let's be real, I wasn't moving.

Turns out snow boarding (or shall we say snow boxing?!) is much easier than sledding.

 At least when you don't have a sled.

But sometimes this happens... and you laugh really hard at your spouse.

Besides the numb hands and butt, great date! 

I was going to finish up this post with a cute picture of hot chocolate spiked with peppermint schnapps.

But there was NOTHING cute about it.

Words to the wise: don't run 5 miles and play in the snow without drinking water and think you can enjoy a social drink.

It doesn't end well.
