The Thermostat War of 08-09
It has officially begun. The time of year when I turn up the thermostat and Matt promptly turns it down. Thirty minutes later, I sneak into the dining room to push the needle a bit higher, hoping he won’t notice. While I’m in the bathroom, I hear the forced air turn off. I then proceed to put on a hoodie, an extra pair of socks and my robe (affectionately known as The Lime Green Monster) heading into the living room to sulk on the couch. Matt turns on the kettle to make some tea and kisses me on the forehead. AS IF THAT IS GOING TO HELP THE SITUATION!
Is this familiar to anyone else? I’ve resigned myself to spending all winter under a down comforter. And slipping arsenic into his chamomile tea.

First, I like to see that you are blogging multiple times daily. It’s wonderful relief for those of us that are forced to stay at school until 8:30 at night while regular education teachers hold parent/ teacher conferences. I’ve found that after being at school for almost 12 hours, there is nothing productive left for me to accomplish.
Second, I will certainly lose toes to frostbite during the first winter of my marriage. My space heater of a fiance exudes heat from his body more efficiently than the most state of the art heating devices. While he’s sweating profusely in his undershirt and shorts, I’m shivering away in my fleece lined pants, fleece socks, tank top, long sleeve shirt, and fleece hoodie, whilest I wrap myself in a llama wool blanket and sip English Breakfast tea. Another reason, Prill, that you and I should be domestic partners.
