File this under the “Jenny is a wimp” category. I guess I need to make that category.

OH MY GOSH IT’S SO COLD!

I am so, so, so done with winter. It’s freezing in my big old drafty house. And, outside of course. I try not to venture outside if I don’t have to, though, BECAUSE DID I MENTION IT’S FREAKING COLD?

If I don’t already have my bathrobe on over my clothes (yes, I do still have enough dignity to get dressed. Most days.), it goes on as soon as the sun goes down. I need its warm, fuzzy, goodness to remind me that winter will not last forever.

This season is making me want to go to bed at 7 p.m. every night. It’s making my temper short and my muscles tight and my nerves frayed. I’m tired of heavy coats and boots and having to warm the car up before I can pack the kiddos into it. I’m tired of dark before dinner and snotty noses and stomach flu and everything else that comes with these deplorable temperatures.

I need some of those happy sunshine lights that make people not go crazy or I’m aboutta go groundhog hunting with my car.

The only thing I really enjoy about winter is having an excuse to wear this hat in public:

But even THAT no longer brings me joy.

I want to put my bathrobe on, get in bed, and wake up in mid-April.

Who’s with me? Down with winter! What do we want? SPRING! When do we want it?  NOW!

What would we settle for? HIBERNATION!

Who’s with me?

Let me tell you a wittle secwet. Shhhhhhhh.  Just act casual, and lean your ears this way.

Emily and I recently got iPhones.

And we pretty much think they are the proverbial cat’s pa-freaking-jamas.  We had Droids, and we liked our Droids. When they worked.  Which unfortunately wasn’t that often. So when the chance to upgrade to iPhones came, we jumped on it!

And the first app I put on my new phone? Instagram.

For months I had been seeing people post their super-awesome, funky, filtered Instagram photos on Facebook and Twitter. And now, I am one of them! An Instagrammer!  I can make myself look good with a filter even when I actually look crappy!  It’s a beautiful thing!  Here’s some proof:

Instagram also makes your babies look even cuter than they already do!  Check it!

Finally, Instagram can transform even the most mundane household items into TOTALLY COOL WORKS OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ART!

So, thanks Instagram for helping me indulge my vanity and creativity a little more!  And thanks iPhone, for working.

What do you think? Are you an Insta-ham?
