Baby it's Cold out there

The cold weather, like that which we experienced last week, does not have a dramatic effect on my day to day life, however it does influence some of my decisions. During the warm months, or even days like today, I really enjoy walking or biking where ever I need to go, whether it is home or work or over to The Hub for some coffee. But when the high is around -5 I find myself driving a lot more than usual. Also, when ever I am at my boyfriend's house or my parents house I will have them run out and start my car for me (during the winter I have a tendency to consider myself an Arizona native and I will whine and complain until someone starts the car for me, with the excuse that "I'm so not used to this freezing hellish weather", and who ever I am with eventually caves it) because I severely dislike driving in a sub-zero car and freezing my butt off. Also, the clothes that I wear for work are much warmer, no more cute skirts or short sleeves, only long warm pants with high-boots and long sleeve shirts. And the final way that the cold effects my life is during week ends, if I am invited to a party or over to a friends house I find myself being quite content with just staying home, cuddling up with a nice warm fuzzy blanket and sipping on hot co-co while watching epic movie after epic movie, enjoying a laid-back, relaxing weekend. The final reason makes me kind of like the cold weather.
