Who doesn't become happy from Hagelslag

Say you're at the bus stop and it is as cold as this morning or yesterday morning, and suddenly your brains come to a halt. Your brain activities are shaped like a lump of ice. WHAT do you do?
But let me just brainstorm for a bit. It is nice and warm inside, so I can do that. Let me think of things that can fight the freezing of the brain (that sounds really nasty). Or better yet: Anti Brain freeze tips: Of course: Movies, books, sites & hotspots.. and of course: Hot Chocolate with whipped cream. But what else can make you warm? Heart warming tableux... (but it's not Christmas anymore and it's cold after Christmas  too). It's cold in 2009. Hey what's on MTV? No wait.. that DOES cause brain freeze.. I think you better not watch any TV these days. It's better to clean up. Winter cleaning and Swiffering... (Andrew still wants to clean up the office). But you know what, wear your most beautiful socks (multiple layers of pairs). Don't forget about your phattest sweater and your most comfy sweat pants. Place a extra little pillow on your office chair and grab yourself a blanket. Make yourself feel good with a bowl of Yoghurt with hagelslag or banana. Arrange some candles around your Mac. If you happen to have a teddybear, keep it on stand-by. Make sure you have a box of Cleenex within arms reach to keep yourself from getting up all the time. Dim the lights? Open the curtains just a little.. Just enough to see the kids playing in the snow (but keep the window closed, you don't want to hear them fall). Stack up your desk with your favourite inspirational books. Open interesting websites and link them to your weblog - start here: www.juxtapoz.com yada yada... Get company of Concept Creatures... Keep drawing snowflakes until they have all left your head. Tie a pillow on to your head. Put your feet in a tile of warm water. Put your heater on max and walk around in you summer outfit. And of course the standard tip of inspiration: Go through all those old black books. I'm sure I can think of a lot more, but that's for later..

Marilou.
