Anyone in a warm climate want a house guest?

Nothing to do with pregnancy, just a rant.  I HATE WINTER.  I know, I have lived in Canada my whole life and should be used to this...but it's -27 today.  Add to that the wind chill factor and it's darned cold.  Not sure what that translates into for farenheit, just bone chilling cold.  Honestly, someone somewhere made a mistake when I was born into a cold climate.  So, if anyone in a warm climate wants a house guest for the winter...I'm tidy and don't need much space.....anyone?  lol  please......lol

I am Amanda...it's pretty cold here in NY as well. We had snow on Saturday and although it didn't amount to much, it was really cold. Today the wind is bitter...I sympathize with you 110%!!! However, that baby boy should be making you feel warmer than me...LOL!!!

Oh, Amanda, I do pity you! I lived in Northern Michigan for awhile and I know that bitter cold all to well. I've been in Northern Florida for awhile and when it reaches the freezing mark, I can barely handle it! You can always come down and see me. Today's high is supposed to be 74 degrees (Fahrenheit). :)

well,  it was down in the 30's last week,  but tomorrow it is going to be 70, and the rest of this week)!  I'll even kick taylor out of her room for you.  She likes to camp in the upstairs living room.  When the little bean gets here we can make Colt camp out there with her, and bean can have his crib!  See I am all set up for you!  I'll give you room and board, if you'll just make dinner 4 nights a week.  Deal?  (oh,  and if you're not gonna be working,  perhaps you can drive my kids to daycare and pick them up too)...  

you can even bring DH,  I know you like yours!  :)

It's around 48 degrees Farenheit here in Greenville, South Carolina.  That is bone chilling cold for us :)   The door is wide open, I'm sure it would feel like spring to you!

Well summer is just starting here so it's around 20 deg C (not sure of that in F) so maybe you could migrate like a bird. You might find it odd having Christmas in the middle of summer. I mean, I find it odd and I've never had it any other way.
All the movies, Christmas cards, songs etc. are all snowy still. Weird.

I hate the winter too.  Their calling for 10 inches of snow here in Illinois starting tomorrow through Wed.  Ugh!!  Good thing I'm not working - I can just chill out at home and watch it come down.

You are all the best!!!  I know if I stay too long at one place I could overstay my welcome.  So I am charting everything out on a map and buying plane tix tomorrow.  I am out of here!!!  Sigh...if only it was that easy.  Warren sure likes the idea as well.  And yep Tator, I will cook, clean and chauffeur...if I can fit behind the steering wheel...lol.  I cannot tell you how tempting it is to get on any plane pointed south right now.  I would say this weather is for the birds, but even the birds are smarter then that...they head south!  

Pum, your in NZ right?  One of my co-workers is headed off on monday for NZ and Australia...backpacking for a month. Oh to be 25 again and able to do that.  She is going to have such a wonderful time!!

Hi All,

I'm in Philippines.  It's never cold here.  It's winter now and we don't get below about 24 degrees celcius.

Welcome.  Come one and come all!

Oh,  you don't have to clean-  just taking the kids to school and dinner only 4 nights a week-  I'll cook the other 3 to give you a break, and I'll do the cleaning!  but Rachael was offering just snuggling...  so I might have lost out on that one!  :)  how about I reduce the cooking to 2 nights a week,  and Taylor is AWESOME at snuggling...  Colt, not so much,  he gets restless...

I feel bad- I can't offer Amanda a warm place to go.  It's cold and snowing here now. Heck- my kids don't even snuggle anymore- I have nothing at all to offer.

Anyone willing to take me too, lol! Im in Minnesota and its not that cold yet. But we just got our furnace fixed. It has been out since August so no central air during the end of summer and no heat up untill maybe a week ago. UGH! I hate the cold! I am a freeze baby. When I get older and DH retires I wanna move some place warm:-) We are due for a snow storm later today and tomorrow. I could do without all the snow unless its Christmas day. Too bad snow=money in our house. I dont know if I should pray that it snows or pray that it doesnt, lol

amanda/rach,  please remember-  cruz is a boy and soon enough he will be mobile,  which means no good snuggling for a few years!!  Taylor really is in a good snuggle pattern....  ok... FINE...  I'll make dinner every night,  and you don't have to drive my kids around.  geez... rachael is hard to compete with!!!

Have 2...  you made me smile!  :)   Why don't you come visit me too...  it is 70 here today, and you can cuddle with Taylor (while amanda is snuggling with cruz *hangs head in defeat*)

I say we all go live at Sally's for a few months.  The Phillipines would be pretty cool..and I bet there are great beaches!!  Ok, so here's the plan....I finish work end of next week.  Leaving the next day for Rachels for some quality Cruz snuggle time. Then off to Tator's so I can have a little girl around for a bit...will she let me do her hair and dress her up in cute outfits?  Happy to cook, but I really only know a couple of recipes, so I hope you don't mind there might not be a lot of variety....  I am so happy I'm having a healthy baby, but it would be so fun to have a girl too.  I love all the little girl outfits!  Everytime I shop for baby clothes I am just itching to buy some little girl things.  Then off to Pamela's for some hot chocolate and fireplace!  I don't have a fireplace.  And I am just going to keep going until I wear out my welcome!  I am so excited....lol.  One challenge...if my little boy is born in the US, will he still be able to come back to Canada to live with me?  Warren might miss him otherwise...lol.
