For me, preparing for winter means switching the blankets on my bed, putting my bike away, and closing the insulated curtains on my windows.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Also switching out which clothes are on shelves and which are in boxes. But preparing for summer means doing all the same things in reverse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, Amber Tamblyn is hilarious.

Winter now means wearing socks, long pants, and shirts with sleeves.
Stupid socks.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I got to visit with Stephanie and 2/3rds of her sprog. I even got to hold the baby - completely adorable.
I think only my footwear changes for winter. Yes, I wear my sweatshirt more often and occasionally haul out my heavy coat, but otherwise, not much changes.

I have lived in tornado country my whole life, so I'm not in a position to pick my favorite natural disaster. From a tornado country point of view, hurricanes seem to have too much warning and earthquakes not enough.

If I had to choose, I'd choose to live where there are hurricanes. Powerful, but slow-moving and you have time to get out of the way.
Tornados are skittish things that may or may not show up.
Or possibly go to the moon, where there's no atmosphere to get its panties in a twist.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Whooooo!
Does that mean you have the polish box too?

I get to visit with Kate P. and her hubby, and the family flea later! The comic store with Kate and hubby, and dinner with everyone, undoubtedly followed by Graeter's.

Oh man, I just heard that a couple whose wedding we went to last fall have broken up. I don't know any of the details but SO SAD. Their wedding was one of the most heartfelt and beautiful ones I've ever been to.
