Brrrr.......

 

It's been so cold here that walking around in the house is too chilly for my blood. Just the air moving around you creates a draft. The wind isn't helping. It's been howling. I tried to go downstairs and work on some Valentines on Saturday but couldn't get my hands to work for long. I gave up.

Even with the sun streaming in the windows it was still too cold on Sunday so I dug an old radiator out of storage. It warmed the room up just enough to get those Valentines finished. Even before the cold set in our electric bill was sky high so I didn't want to keep it running for long. 

I honestly don't get why the downstairs is always so cold when we have one of these and more wood than you can imagine. When I ask The Mister why he doesn't start a fire during the day to take the chill off he mumbles something about running out of wood. As if we could. 

And....with a group of 50 people who have been in a football pool all season I (as in me) was this year's winner. I ended up with an impressive 129 wins and 155 points (playoffs are scored separately) primarily by picking the same teams every week. I don't know a thing about football. I've only ever watched a couple of games in my life and they all involved Taylor Swift and what she was wearing. Now I'm in the money. $400 to be exact thanks to nothing but dumb luck.
