Snuggie-ly warm

This is a bit of a drive-by posting, sorry I can't sit down and stay awhile. But, a few things to share:

- The hot water heater has stayed on since last Wednesday afternoon. I put some bricks in front of it carefully crafted a shield from the wind and it has proven successful. Little Holly Homeowner reigns supreme.

- I am now a believer in the Snuggie. I don't think I ever laughed at people who had them, but I never thought I needed one. Long story short: I have one now and I believe they are GENIUS.

- Speaking of the house and the Snuggie, my new windows allow me to keep the thermostat at 63 and it just feels mildly (but acceptably) cold. If I'm rocking the Snug, some cozy pajamas, and warm slippers, I can totally handle it. So, new windows = smart investment. I think Dad is entitled to an "I told you so" at some point soon.
