Ok, we live in an old drafty house.  The temperature is the only thing I don’t like about the place.  Hot in the summer and cold in the winter.  Being that the wind has been gusty at about 40+ miles per hour, I feel like I”m living in a house without windows.  It. Is. Cold.  But last year when we rented the second floor of a house we were surprised with a 600 gas bill on month.  We do NOT want a repeat in our new home.  So I wear layers.  Lots of layers.

I request fires most evenings to help with the chill (and because it’s the right time of year for them) and typically my husband begrudgingly obliges me but usually adds “But it’s finally comfortable in here”.  Do you know what temperature he claims is comfortable?  61 degrees. It was SIXTY ONE degrees in here the other night and he’s running around in a tshirt and shirts like we’re at the Atlantis resort.

Can someone please tell me WHY husbands are always too warm while wives are typically dressed like Eskimos from October to June?  There has to be a reason.  I don’t ever remember being this cold as a single person!
