Wishful Thinking

I know other parts of the country are seeing colder weather than what I'm currently dealing with...

But this is the South, y'all! For the love of all that is good and holy, it is not supposed to get this cold here! Overnight temps in the single digits. Daily highs only in the mid-20s.

Someone seriously needs to tell Mother Nature to back off.


Right about now, I wish I was here:


Preferably sipping a fruity cocktail with one of those little umbrellas in it.



Even better would be if those fruity cocktails were served by a cabana boy who just happened to look like this:

lifeinbeverlyhills said...

I'm with ya. -8 (actual) here this morning. Too cold!

Kori said...

I know what you mean. I am a little further south than you are. And this morning it was 10 degrees with a windchill factor of -3. Then they are saying possible snow on Sunday.

I need some summer heat soon.

Rhea said...

I'm loving this coldness. And I love south, of course, here in Texas, but I'm strange.

single digits? I haven't had to deal with single digits. gah.

Shelley said...

I'm from Florida. And right now, I'm loving this weather. It is nice to have a change of seasons this year. Most of the time we only have one season.

Mrs. S said...

DITTO.

Hot Tub Lizzy said...

I just keep being REALLY glad I don't live in Minnesota anymore!!!

Jen said...

Oh me too!!!! That would totally be awesome right now.

Kat said...

I am never happy. When it was hot, I wanted cold. When it was cool, I wanted seasonable. And now we have cold. With our highs today not even getting above freezing. And all I can think of is our trip to the Bahamas next month. Think you can get Shane to change his mind??

Scary Mommy said...

Can I go too? Ugh, I hate this shit.

oº˚ Anissa ˚ºo said...

That looks so nice. It is so cold over here. I just want to bundle up with a blanket and chill but can't I have school with Ariel and Austin -- well at least we don't have to get out. Stay warm!

Hugs

Missy said...

I know what you mean - Alabama is cold too! Umm, we live in the south for a reason!

Brandy said...

We are frickin' freezing over here too. I think our high is 19, without the windchill factor! Brrrrr....

Think warm thoughts!

Bird, Frizzy and Our Little Yaya said...

I want to come and share a pina colada with you please! Hey, we can dream right?! I'm in CA and I'm cold for crying out loud.

KimmyJ said...

Don't forget a cabana boy that looks something like Daniel Craig!

Shannon said...

KimmyJ: Amen! I think I need to edit my post...

Laura said...

You had me until the cabana boy picture, he looks scary to me. I'll stay here with my blankets, cocoa, new hubby, and home made soup! :-)

JourneytoFamily said...

That is cold for the South! Sending you warm wishes!!! Just keep thinking of that Cabana Boy. That'll keep you hot. ;)

Susie said...

I am with you too!! I am sick of winter!!!

Michelle said...

I know a lot of folks like their seasons, but I'll take perfect 75 degree weather all year round. Guess what temp it is today in So Cal? Low 70's, without a cloud in the sky.

roy/elisabeth dean said...

I'm in Central AL and can't feel my FEET! I'm only on my laptop now to keep my lap warm! Maybe warmer weather will be here soon. On the plus side, it is SURELY killing off some of the gynormous mosquitos we dealt with last year!
In the meantime, Daniel Craig works for me!!!

Star Forbis said...

Jo-Jo said...

Tell me about it sister! It is 3 here right now!

heathersister said...

Now that is smokin' hot!

Stay warm. We were -6 this morning. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. My feet have been cold all day. I hate it. I have on two pair of socks and slippers and they are still like ice cubes.

JANE said...

Amen sister!!!!!!!!!!!
But you did just raise my temp with the pic of your cabana boy, Ohhhhhhhhhh Myyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

Lindsay said...

I think I'm the lone Southerner out here who is enjoying the cold. Throw in some snow and a hot drink and I'll be a stone's throw from heaven!

Eudea-Mamia said...

Hang on!! The warm air is coming. 32 here in Dallas yesterday - 60 today.

P.S. - LOVE that the caption right underneath those tight bathing pants is "nutty comments." Maybe you and I should just swap that shot back and forth for a while? ;-)

Mama Dawg said...

I hear ya! I'm in MS and it was 7 degrees here yesterday morning. Crazy!

nikkicrumpet said...

LOL I'd feel sorry for you but we had -5 yesterday...yes thats MINUS...and it ain't much warmer today. Where the heck is Al Gore and his stupid global warming HUH???

Z's Mom said...

OMG.....that's MY cabana boy!!! :)

Brandy said...

It was getting hot in here...and then I scrolled on to the hottie.....positively sweating now!

I nominate him to be part of Angie's Monday every week.

Cristin said...

I'm done with winter... DONE. We had a lovely mix of rain and snow today... and no Daniel Craig in sight... thank goodness for wine...

Joy said...

Can you make a spot on the beach next to you?

Aubrey said...
