warm me up, my electric love.
December 23, 2006
i don't know when or how i will ever get used to the winters here. which is so lame because this is california after all. i haven't even been near places where it snows. i'd die if i were to live in new york in the thick of winter, i'm pretty sure of it.
lately it's been so cold, with temperatures dipping to the 20s (fahrenheit). inside the house, i have to keep the thermostat in the 70s. the result: astronomical gas bills! the hub has been very supportive of my quest for things to keep me warm — comforters, fleece blankets, thick jackets, sweaters, all-weather socks, furry slippers. nothing worked… until… the amazing invention that is the electric blanket. i've had two nights of blissful, uninterrupted sleep with my new bedtime friend. and at more than fifty percent off, it was a great buy. christmas sales are just the bomb!
hopefully, we'll see a little improvement in our next bill. but then again, isn't it the norm that in winter, gas rates are up and in the summer, electricity rates are up as well? why oh why can't it be the other way around? *sigh*
