What are you up to?

I organized my closets, cabinets, drawers, under the kitchen sink, and just scrubbed down my bathroom. I still need to dust and sweep the floor, but the bathroom was the biggest chore. My place wasn't bad, but now it's gorgeous! Watching Hoarders gets me going. I've got a bit of trash that I should take down, but I don't want to put on pants.

You?

I mostly sat at home and did my laundry yesterday, but I did go out and buy some warmer socks and poke around the organic whole foods store near me. Today, I went all the way to Seokchon to pick up a rabbit.

Now I'm going to go grocery shopping. A bit of nippy weather won't stop me! Laughing When I get back, though, I think I'll settle in with some hot tea, my sketchpad, and some movies/tv shows on my computer.

I live near Busan and I barely go outside during winter. I call this hibernating. I just go to the local market and E-mart once a week.

It just started getting freezing cold here yesterday and last night. I spend my time watching TV shows and movies on my computer, doing P90X & Insanity, playing Wii, cooking and sleeping. 6-7 week public school vacations are boring, plus it's too expensive to travel.

Yellow dust season coming next month and then the cold spells before spring. Can't wait for end of March/April.

Watching The Office, preparing to go to the States on Thursday, and sewing up some new winter clothes. Good weekend Very Happy

Oh, and drinking copious amounts of hot cocoa. But that goes without saying.

Yeah, the air is cold but clean now. Take deep breaths. Ahhhhh.

I moved to Jeju for the other half of the year (May thru October) but the lack of minus temps now is a bonus.

Good God! If you're that cold, the least you could do is put on underpants!

Understood; it's a wee bit parky for a nip to the bins but she'll be jake if you wear your kecks. Just a thought - wouldn't it be better to wear a little more than just that?

Wasn't too bad today.

Two T-shirts, hoody, coat and two layers of trousers. Hiking socks and boots, but no scalf, and I wasn't shaking nearly as pathetically as saturday night.

I finally psyched myself into putting on some clothes and taking down the garbage. One more day of work then 3 glorious weeks off.

The wind wasn't so bad earlier. My husband and I took tea at Tom & Toms. Then we parted ways and I went to the jjimjilbang for the FIRST TIME.

It was heaven. I was just in the sauna area, but I must have been there for over 2 hours. I can definitely see me doing this on a weekly/bi-weekly basis.

I'm with ya. I had no idea it would be this cold in Seoul. I give myself a C- in packing for Korea. The real catch is that it's too cold to go warm clothes shopping (i'm also new and don't know where to go either).
