Brrrrrr! It’s cold outside. Here. Let FROS warm you up:

My teeth are CHATTERING, the wind is HOWLING, and there’s SNOW from D.C. to the Artic. So I think it’s time for a hot For Refreshment Only Sunday (FROS) to warm us all up!

Are your hands cold? Poor thing. Here, rub your hands against this:

Did that help? Good!

What’s that? Your feet are cold, too? Oh no! Fortunately for you, our friend is running right over to your house with some massage oil and his warm, warm hands:

You’re STILL cold? Really? Well, ok, then. Time to bring out the Big Guns. This time we’re sending over the following. Surely ONE of them will get you warmed back up:

There. If that doesn’t warm you, I don’t know what will!

Have a great week, my FROS friends! And remember – if you can’t get warm, just call on FROS for a good rub down.

And remember tomorrow marks the beginning of our 6th ANNIVERSARY EXTRAVAGANZA! Each day we’re giving away a book prize pack to a lucky commentator and then, on the final day, we’ll use every comment made from Monday thru the end of Saturday for our grand prize drawing, one $200 bookstore gift card and two $100 bookstore gift cards!

    Is it me or is it getting really hot in here? I think I’m going to need the fan on all night long.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      I’m glad you’re getting warmed up. :)

  2. Sandi in OH says:

    Thank you. I needed that. When I got up this morning it was 60 in the house. The pilot light on the furnace had gone out. Now I’m toasty warm.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      60 … brrrrrr! I’m glad you got the pilot light going and have FROS to warm you up while it’s doing its piloty lighty magicks.

  3. dbrown3400 says:

    I won’t be greedy and just take foot warmer #2. He’s mighty fine. The rest aren’t too shabby either. What wonderful FROS for a chilly Sunday morning. You’ve done it again, Karen.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      dbrown, huddling together is a good way to keep warm. So huddle! Huddle!

  4. Freshechelle says:

    I’m awake now!

    Thanks for the added heat. I couldn’t seem to get warm before

  6. Cheri Champagne says:

    That certainly helped! Now that I’m all warmed up, do they need to warm up their hands, too? ;)

  7. LouisaCornell says:

    Karen, you are SUCH a good friend!! Only you would think to provide such SMOKIN’, I mean ATTRACTIVE, I mean appropriate sources of heat!! The only problem is now I don’t want to leave the house!

  12. evlqn says:

    Happy FROS to me! Yes, yes I am all warmed up now but if I should happen to get a slight chill rest assured I will be right back here for another treatment. I can see you kept yourself nice and toasty just so we will have the best.Does Hot Cop even realize how hard you work for those you care about?

    I’m looking forward to the upcoming week of The Goddess Blogs 6th Anniversary…congrats ladies.

  22. Eileen A-W says:
