How ever will you be keepin' your sweet self warm this winter?
Me? Sweaters, cozy slippers, lap blanket...

Hopefully will get a pet to cozy in with again soon...but, damn the dating part of getting a new pet and training him is tough!

6. My brand new, dual-control electric blanket
Hubby likes the bedroom to be kept at sub-Arctic temperatures, so this is the only way for me to keep from freezing at night without roasting him out.

A propane heater in the living room with a fan to blow the warm air around the house helps, too. It's a small house.

16. Yes, I'm in the "subtropics" and eagerly anticipating the
relief of winter. It's a mental disconnect to watch news stories about the price of heating oil for the winter when you're still sweating in godawful heat....especially when a new hurricane could be headed your way. *sigh* Off to go check weather.com again.

23. oh, and SOUP
how could i forget to mention SOUP?

i plan on making soup every few days to keep a batch in the refrigerator all winter, ready to heat and eat.

writing that made me think of a soup dispenser... you know like a water dispenser in the fridge with a bigger spigot for soup... ?

hmmm. :eyes: that..could....work.....

13. I have a HORRIBLE luxury, a cashmere blanket. A whole one... full
size. It's truly an amazing thing to own, cherish and adore... an extravagance that will last us the rest of our lives.

36. This is the one we have... we bought it from a local merchant
however, not online... http://www.zambaiti.com/eng/ita_fr.htm



It's the most comfortable and comforting household item I have ever, ever purchased, and well worth every single dime.

15. I plan on dressing in layers . . .
lots and lots of layers. I live in an old drafty house and keep the temp quite low. My friends don't even take off their jackets when visiting me in the winter. Maybe I'll have to start burning my furniture.

21. Thankfully I resigned my lease is March
before the gas prices rose so much. I have all utilities included so I don't have to worry about high heating costs this winter.
