Be The Star of Your Own Movie - The "Frozen" Fitness Routine
Cardio. Stretching. Climbing. Sounds like a workout, right? No, just a day of showing homes during the winter months here in the snow belt. Once again, the Polax Vortex has several states in its icy talons. The freezing cold air going into your lungs makes just walking quite a cardio exercise. 
Then there’s the stretching to reach a lockbox that’s affixed to a pipe--under the stairs--about one foot off the ground--buried under three feet of snow. I’ve become numb to embarrassment at the view I must be giving the neighbors across the street.
Well...almost.
And of course, there’s climbing over humongous snow piles to get to the front or back door and into the property. They don't show that on HGTV.
Frozen car locks.
Frozen lockboxes.
Your intrepid real estate agent feeling like she’s frozen.
Like the mail carrier, I will not let it deter me from my appointed rounds. Buyers need to buy, sellers need to sell.
Weather notwithstanding.
It seems like the last two winters have been a bit more challenging than usual. Since I can't control the weather, I know I should just let it go, but I just want winter to go. And apparently, I’m not alone.
A police department in Ohio has put out an all points bulletin, (APB), for the arrest of one, “Princess Elsa of Arrendelle.” They'd like to speak to her about any part she may have played in the record breaking frozen precipitation plaguing the eastern half of the country. While I do not begrudge the crown princess from seeking to explore her creative side, how many of us had ever heard the term “Polar Vortex” before the princess made her screen debut back in 2013?
Really! How many of us?
In the same amount of time it took Elsa to go from obscure princess to a full-fledged movie star, the term "Polar Vortex" became a part of our lexicon.
Coincidence? Maybe.
Maybe not!
Now again, I want to reiterate that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. As for me, I’m willing to give the princess the benefit of the doubt. Besides, I don’t think she’s working alone. Rumor has it, she’s in cahoots with “Phil”, a semi-professional weather prognosticator, last seen in Pennsylvania.
