I'm not really an outdoor gal

Something about me. Another trait that I've come to accept; I don't like the outdoors. It's not that I don't appreciate nature and its beauty, and I do like going for walks, but I'd rather be inside. Such as:

- in a coffee shop versus sitting around drinking coffee from a tin coffee maker while camping.

- i bless the person who invented air conditioning. truly makes summer life worth living. i don't like the heat. never have. and this is from a child who grew up in a semi-desert area (and I didn't enjoy summer then either).

- i will take a pool over a lake. they are warmer, cleaner and less likely to cut one's feet on glass, rocks, or feel slime on the bottom.

- i don't think you can get clean properly while camping. i need a warm shower each day.

- i also don't think if you are camping you can properly shave one's legs (unless you have access to a shower). i need to do this daily (thanks to my German heritage).

- i hate mosquitos, heat rashes, and dirty feet (there's that clean thing again).

I can do motels, hotels, inns and resorts. Campgrounds -- not so much.
