Good news for all of you fellow hermits: January is National Hermit Month! Okay, so it's not official or anything, but it should be. I mean, what month could be more perfect than January to dig deep and get in touch with your inner hermit? There are so many reasons to put on your sweats, grab your Twinkies, and curl into the fetal position during this wonderful *cough* month. (Disclaimer: If you happen to be a hermit living in a non-cold area...like MIAMI, for example, some of these reasons may not apply. Also, I'm incredibly jealous and may exclude you from some of the hermit celebrations out of spite. No offense.)
1) For all of you Utahns--THE INVERSION!!
Yay! That's right, boys and girls. The mountains have trapped this lovely layer of smog in our valley, and we get to deal with it until...well, whenever. Woohoo! Not only does this mean our view will be impaired, but the air quality will be horrible and the temperatures will drop significantly.
Definitely a reason to crawl into your hermit cave and not come out until spring.
2) Cold temperatures in general. (I feel really bad for you, people in the Midwest.)
3) The current economic state...*shudder.*
4)...Actually, I'm done listing reasons. I'm just too excited to begin all of my National Hermit Month Celebrations!! You are more than welcome to come up with your own celebrations for this fantastic month, but I have my own schedule to follow.
Day 1: Stay at home.
Day 2: Stay at home.
Day 3: Watch a movie. Stay at home.
Day 4: Read a book. Eat some Twinkies. Stay at home.
Day 5: Drive to the store. Buy more Twinkies. Get out as quickly as possible and go back home.
Etc, etc.
Doesn't that sound exciting?!! Oh, I can't wait. ;-)
I hope you will join me in the festivities. (Of course, I'm not hoping that you'll join me literally. National Hermit Month should be celebrated alone, after all.)
Happy Hermit-ing!

I'll have you know that I had to turn on the HEATER in the car this morning! Granted, it was 56 degrees, but that's COLD, for Miami. By the way, Miami is a great place to visit during National Hermit Month......
I shall join you in your hermiting efforts, from here of course. And I have a number 4 for you: the cold that has plagued my life all week.
Day 1: blow nose 500 times, drink orange juice, eat twinkie, watch tv.
Day 2: buy better kleenexes, blow nose 500 times, drink oj, eat twinkie, watch tv.
Day 3: Shove wads of kleenex up nose to stop the flow, etc...
Day 4: See day 3.
And onward.
Hope you are doing well! I miss you!
I started my celebrations today. It's 8:23 p.m. and I am still in my pajamas, which I think shows my dedication to this holiday. I watched 2 movies, 2 episodes of What Not to Wear, mixed with an occasional disney sitcom. Now I'm going to go make cookies... which pushes the rules a bit, I'd say, because it involves standing... or does it? Wish me luck!
and i loved this post, by the way
If you add "order Twinkies online" to your first day, then you won't have to leave the house on your fifth day. I'm pretty much a pro hermit.
