Might Be Sunny, But Baby, It's Cold Outside
Despite the recent sunshine, Seattlest HQ has been cranking up the heat the past couple weeks just like everyone else has, and we're sure it will reflect on our potentially mammoth Puget Sound Energy bill next month. There's a point when shivering in your own home is just not okay anymore, and it's been cold outside. If it were up to us, the thermostat would be set at 75 and we'd still have blankets piled five high on our bed; fortunately for our wallets and the environment, we have a sensible Idahoan housemate to sneak around after us and turn down the temperature.
A great strategy for our household is to cover up the thermostat's display with a giant "save the date for our wedding" frisbee some friends gave us; this way, we don't think to turn it up or down as frequently and are more content to make do with a hot water bottle and maybe a down vest or three. What have you been doing to combat the chilly March? Any great tricks, aside from gluing those skiing hand-warmers all over your body (because we have thought of that and it's just not cost-effective)? Is anyone else having startlingly vivid daydreams about summer?
