i can feel the cold coming in when i walk by windows. around 9:45 i was freeeezing (hands and feet mostly, like always). so i threw my quilt in the dryer, heated up some southwest chicken soup, and headed back to my room to spend some quality time with jon stewart and steven cobert (though not at the same time!! i'm not like that...) hehehe!!! .... i know, i'm a dork. anyway, the cobert report was actually kinda funny tonight. i hope it stays that way. OH! the heat also got kicked on for the first time this season. that thing is so confusing.... i hate digital "i know you better than you" thermometers. i love that smell it makes right when it kicks on after being off for 10 months. on top of that, i finally got my down comforter out of my closet. comfy, comfy! i'm going to sleep sooooooo good tonight. or maybe just get really hot. it just depends on texas =\
That's funny. I had just also realized it was "that time of year" at the same moment, I think. I was watching the Daily Show and then the Colbert Report, while my feet turned to ice- even though I was buried under layers of comforters in my bed. I then realized I needed to dig up the fleece lounge pants and shirts. Yay! I love wearing fluffy soft things and wrapping myself in lots of blankets.
Oh my gosh, Howeidi--- I like that smell, too. I think it touches off a memory of some sort, 'cos I always feel good when I get that first whiff. However, I think the smell, at least in the case of MY furnace, is just burning dust, ha ha. I have really slept soundly the past couple of nights--- hardly moved a muscle, and woke up all cozy and wrapped up in my blankies.
Anything fresh out of the dryer in the winter is heaven. Mmmmmm.
But... that smell the heater makes... no thanks. In fact, I don't even like heaters. Gas heaters are better than electric though, for some reason. I'm weird, I know.
i'm reallyh surprised at how few people here have insulated or double layer windows here! unless the house is custom made or in river oaks or something they're all having this little thin walled glass which really feels like being outside...i remember back in indiana, even this shittiest of houses had a storm window...
ours have double layers-- but i always thought it was to prevent break-ins. (it's plexiglass or something). but the doors with windows... which is all of them... thooooooose get drafty! the windows i was talking about was our entry way. lots of glass.. cold floors... nowhere to run!
