Normally my husband is the one who's the big money saver around here. But, not when it comes to our heating bill.
I finally stopped turning the thermostat down to 67 because every time I did he would complain, tell me I was crazy for freezing us to death to save a few bucks, and turn it back to 72. I don't know. It's pretty cold in here since it's hanging around the teens outside. My feet are cold.
The kids don't seem to notice either way. I guess running around like a crazy monkey helps.
But, I have this idea that the colder it is outside, the easier it is to feel warm inside with a lower temperature. See, 60 degrees in our house right now would feel like a heat wave compared to what's outside.
So, I'm gonna go fiddle with the thermostat. Honey, you were warned.
Pardon me while I go find my fuzzy socks and make a mug of tea.

Wool socks and long johns (the bottom half, at least). I found mine at the thrift store.
Seriously: Get in the habit of wearing at least one long-john layer and you'll be a lot more comfortable. They even make silk ones (although you're more likely to find polypro or cotton thermals at the thrift shop).
I lived in Alaska for 17 years, so I can also say that tea is a swell idea.
