‘XCUSE ME! Princess Here!

Mountain Living NOT For Sissies!

APPARENTLY NOT FOR THE PRINCESS either!!!!!!!!! The Husband said I have to help haul wood today. I DECLINED. Thank you, but NO thank you. It was ever so nice of you to ask. But, I decline.

At that point The Husband looked at me like I had absolutely lost my mind. (BUT, really! It’s COLD outside. AND I DON’T WANT TO!) The Husband then asked “Do you want heat this winter? Do you want a fire? Do you want to be warm?”

I let him know I am The PRINCESS I don’t do menial labor. (yeah, he laughed there too)

The Husband replied. “Okay chuckles, get your coat and gloves. Let’s go”

Well, I see that my arguments were going nowhere. Grabbed my coat, my new work gloves and of course my fur hat. I MEAN HELLO!! PRINCESS here! (And the crown wouldn’t fit over my hat and there is no way I’m going outside without a hat on. So, pretend the crown fit over the big furry hat please).

FINE! I Will Help BUT I Will Complain The Entire TIME!

And I did. I’m cold. I’m hungry. It’s too heavy. It didn’t work. Truth is I absolutely WILL complain if my hands get cold. Or my feet. Then, I AM OUT!

Warm Hands

I can not say this enough! Insulated gloves are A MUST for Mountain living. Or anyone who is outside in the cold. Insulated gloves keep your hands warm.

I’m giddy about my new gloves. 2 hours outside and my hands are STILL warm. Thermal insulation is my very bestest friend. Soft fleece lining! I was so cozy. I kept thinking if I had boots made of this stuff I would probably not complain about cold feet. (Yeah, I laughed here too!)

WARM!

Not just thermal insulation, soft fleece lining but also enhanced AND durable. There was no fumbling with logs at ALL!! The grip on the palm and fingers GRIPS! These gloves are water-repellent. Okay, so I MAY NOT have mentioned THIS part to The Husband. Cause when it started raining we got to quit stacking wood. (Insert most evil laugh here!)

AND THEY ARE PRETTY!!!

Okay, yes, HANDLANDY Work Gloves come in a lot of different colors. So no, your man can wear camo, black… and all the different colors. But, IF I HAVE TO BE OUTSIDE (I’m sorry for yelling…. this is serious stuff here!) I want pretty gloves. So black and pink, that fit like, well, like a glove! Bright pink lycra trim.

Gloves for men, women, doesn’t matter. There is a color for you. There are a ton more colors on line.

KIDS gloves too!!! (AND an easy-to-use size guide to ensure proper fit). Golf gloves, gardening gloves, why did the hot dog song just pop into my head? You know the one…. not the Mickey Mouse one the Armour Hot Dog jingle: “Hot Dogs, Armour Hot Dogs; What kind of kids eat Armour Hot Dogs? Fat kids, skinny kids, kids who climb on rocks; Tough kids, sissy kids; even kids with chicken pox love hot dogs“. Nevermind. Suffice to say, there are gloves for everyone!

Did I mention touch screen fingertips?!?! YUP!!

AND! Elastic wrist cuff provides a snug and secure fit, preventing cold air from entering and ensuring maximum warmth.

So, wanna come over?? You could use my gloves!! I’ll stay inside. You help haul wood!?? I’ll make lunch!

    Lol, you must have enough wood by now, right?? Hah, no, there is never enough. I remember that from when I helped as a kid. But those gloves look warm and pretty!

      Tammy, The Husband says it’s not near enough. I think he is lying. AND I really think our son should fly up here and chop, split and stack wood. I HAD kids SO I didn’t have to do this stuff. Nooooo they had to grow up and be adults. Soooo rude.
      Although, the color combo is so pretty on these gloves.

    Hauling the wood is no fun. I do love splitting wood, and really miss it. That would be hauling a whole lotta’ wood there, to warm that big house for a cold mountain winter. We had a converted old-fashioned wood stove that was fancy. But I can see that you would want out of that task. I suppose there isn’t a gaggle of high -school kids to earn a few extra bucks. In the town where I am, there are some, but they do not lift a finger for less than $25 an hour. So I still do all my own “hauling” to the 3rd floor and moving things, etc. They do look like nice gloves if you have to haul wood. It will warm you thrice, hauling it and burning it, also splitting it!

      Rose, I WISH we had teens that lived anywhere close. Rose did you have a gas splitter? We got one for this winter. WWWWOOOOWWWW What a saver that is.
      I’m with you. This 3 story house was pretty awesome…. until you realize this is 3 stories for life!
      I do love my gloves though.
