BRRRR! It's cold in here!
...There must be some Toro's in the atmosphere! ;-)
Really though, it's so cold in our house! We heat with wood and since I'm getting ready to leave to see H at work I don't want to start a fire, but holy goodness I'm freezing!
On a semi-related note, H is leaving to go hunting for a week at 5:30 in the morning. I haven't seen him since Sunday :-( If I weren't taking dinner out to him tonight I wouldn't see him until next Wed evening. Thus, I figure I'll make dinner and take it out to him so I get there about the time he normally takes his meal break.
What's going on with everyone else?

[QUOTE]FI and I were totally doing that chant when he walked me to my car tonight. Yep. We're awesome. It's strangely warm for MN right now so I have no complaints!

<div>Thank goodness someone got it! Funny store, one day I was in the back bedroom and H was doing something in the living room. All of a sudden heard him in the other room doing the chant, except his version went "...there must be some churros in the atmosphere!" I about died laughing, then I had to explain what a toro is.</div>

ahhh love that you wrote that. Everytime I say it's cold in here, my lovely FI always says that. haha... what a dork. But anyways, you made me laugh :)
FI and I haven't been through a winter in our apartment yet, so we're not sure how it'll go. We live on the third (top) floor of our building and we have a loft-style apartment. So the living room is 2 stories high and even at that the ceiling is vaulted. I think it reaches like 30 feet at the peak. Since heat rises, all the heat from downstairs gathers into our apartment and the loft gets quite warm. In August it was unbearable, so I'm hoping it's nice in the winter. Especially since our apartment has a gas heater (which is unheard of in apartments here, they're almost ALWAYS electric) and we live in an areas with some of the highest natural gas rates in the country. Which is quite odd considering our warm climate and the fact that there are oil rigs just off shore.

Our house was 59 when I posted this last night!
Like FaithCaitlin said, it's pretty nice here in Florida. It has gotten down into the low 40s at night which is pretty crazy for this time of year. My apartment does hold in the cold though, so it's always colder inside than outside!
I am going to the beach this weekend for my bachelorette party, so I really can't complain too much about the weather
[QUOTE]Since I have no clue about the reference made in this email, does someone want to explain?

It's from the movie Bring it On. It's a cheer the squad does. Their school mascot is a toro, so the cheer goes "brrrr, it's cold in here, there must be some toros in the atmosphere. O-e-o-e-o ice ice ice! o-e-o-e-o ice ice ice!"
[QUOTE]Wait, 73 degrees is cold in a house? <strong>I don't turn the heat on until it gets down to about 63 degrees or so, to save on gas bills.</strong> It's 72 in my house right now and I'm hot!

I'm going to try to wait until it gets down to 64, but I'm cold at 73. I actually opened the glass door and a window because it crept up to 75 inside today. After running the AC all summer, hopefully we'll save some money this winter.

For me it depends on the time of day. We set our heater to 70 at night (plus a space heater so the bedroom isn't freezing), and 68 or less during the day. When it's sunny outside, it feels warm inside even at 68. But in the evenings, we like to kick it up to about 72 for a burst of warmth before bed. I don't do very well with cold, but I'm kinda cheap with the electric bill. :P
Note: we didn't turn the heat on until the night it was 38 degrees outside. We need to put film over the windows to keep the heat in better soon.

[QUOTE]Holy moly, you all keep your houses really warm! When we use the furnace, we keep it at 64 or 65 unless we're having people over. When we're gone or sleeping we bump it down to 58.

This is how it was at my parents house. And then I'd go to my grandparents or even my great grandma's apartment and die because it was sooo hot. In fact, when I went to go stay with my grandparents, I would bring a box fan and put it in the window at night because it was so freakin hot in there.
We don't have central air. We have baseboard heat that we can't really control very well. We're trying to see how long we can go without turning it on...so far, my feet are the coldest. Heh.
