Birch Run Farm, you've got the right idea! Too funny!

I temporarily lost my funny after blow-drying those last two chickens this evening, so here's the blah version: we rent more movies for nighttime (we choose not to have active TV, other than to watch movies), pretend that this is the winter we'll actually complete one of those quilts started in an insane fit of enthusiasm years ago, make more phone calls, repeatedly shovel snow off all horizontal surfaces (including the roofs we can reach), putter around cooking meals on our wood stove & with a little Butterfly oven that sets on top, put up 2 million window quilts (not really quilts - are you kidding?), take down 2 million window quilts, fantasize about getting the tools in order in the basement but paint a room instead, read more books, play more cards, sample more wine (what's so awful about cheap stuff like Boones Farm? dare I admit I think it's fun?

), sometimes get the right kind of snow for x-country skiing but usually go snowshoeing instead, turn introspective, return to goofy, use the lightbox so I don't have a S.A.D. winter, maybe try out some different cookie recipes, get out the crock pot - my #1 cooking plan, and keep in touch with other cooped-up BYC'ers!

I hate those bitter cold days and try to stay in as well.
I try to use up that time completing projects that have been hanging over my head.
Sometimes its stuff I really want done but hate the chore, so I force myself to do it and then I feel real good about it.
It seriously gives me a boost to have accomplished something.
Other times I use those lousy weather days to get caught up on photo albums and baby books.
I just put around 400 photos in different albums the other day when it was raining and I was so glad to have gotten it done. That stack of pictures were sitting on my table for like a week before I finally took care of it.
But I will clean out closets, the attic, basement, organize draws, paperwork, make phone calls I have been putting off for way too long etc. It really helps to beat the blahs because you feel so good about getting all of that kind of stuff done.
