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.

I’m glad you’re getting warmed up.
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 10:33 am.
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.
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 10:13 am.
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.

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.

dbrown, huddling together is a good way to keep warm. So huddle! Huddle!
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 10:34 am.
I’m awake now!
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 10:34 am.
Thanks for the added heat. I couldn’t seem to get warm before
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 11:27 am.
That certainly helped! Now that I’m all warmed up, do they need to warm up their hands, too?
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 11:34 am.
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!
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 11:53 am.
Even though I didn’t get snow, I certainly see that my freezer has defrosted – That’s hot!
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 11:59 am.
Better than a cup of decadently rich warm chocolate.
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 12:07 pm.
Warm it is that I am! Goodness!
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 12:27 pm.
Just what I needed this chilly (49!!) SoCal morning.
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 1:05 pm.
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?
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 1:24 pm.
You sure now how to help a gal warm up! Thanx!!!!

Thank You Karen that has certainly wamed me up nicely! Not had snow but it is still cold and damp here so just what was needed to warm me up
Thank You

The first one (is that Hugh?) & last one are my favorites. Thanks for the warm-up!

Now feels toasty warm and since I live in Florida near the beach I think I can get them to remove some more clothing, send them my way and I’ll be sure to take pictures…lol

Oh I soooo needed this!
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 9:12 pm.
ahhhh… Much better.
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 9:17 pm.
Sweet!!! Feel much better now!
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 9:22 pm.
Yes, it’s 56 but feels colder. It’s rained most of the day and will the next two days. I need one of those FROS to come on over, my feet are cold.
I have some Brunswick stew cooking on the stove that I put together for the next few days.
I’m looking forward to the upcoming week of The Goddess Blogs 6th Anniversary…congrats ladies.
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 9:37 pm.
I really needed this. Thank you!!! This will definitely warm me up. The temp is above freezing, the snow that fell on the frozen sleet stopped earlier but will return later tonight, making tomorrow’s drive to work a real thrill. Thanks again for the warmth!
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 9:52 pm.
Thank you, Karen.
The FROS should keep me warm.
Posted on February 11, 2013 at 12:06 am.
OH DEAR GOD, Who is the guy in the Military pants….OMG he can warm me up any time….
Posted on February 11, 2013 at 12:49 am.
Is it HOT, or is it me?
Posted on February 11, 2013 at 3:54 am.
Great photos. And thanks for the very generous contest.

Thanks to you my afternoon is just getting better. Of course, “And the Bride Wore Plaid” helps, too.
Have a nice week everybody!

Posted on February 11, 2013 at 10:34 am.
It’s Monday and I didn’t want to get out of bed and step out into the freezing cold rain…so cold! Now I’m feeling much warmer! Can one of those guys come over???
Posted on February 11, 2013 at 10:43 am.
Wow. That made my Monday.
Posted on February 11, 2013 at 10:45 am.
What I’m waiting for, Karen, are pix of Hot Cop……any man able to keep up with your imagination must be pretty dang wonderful on the eyes!
Posted on February 11, 2013 at 10:48 am.

That’s just what I needed this morning, besides my coffee.
