You are a woman after my own heart.<BR/><BR/>I think one of the joys of the winter is to be warm underneath the blankets while the cold air surrounds you! This may sound a little strange, but I think that warm blankets are definitely more comfy when everything else is cold.<BR/><BR/>BP, a warm house fund???? That's an idea. I'm afraid if people contributed, though, that I would just keep the house cold and use the money to buy myself more books!Jonathan Erdmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234688186113838474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9242710.post-65630996011892087412007-11-11T01:05:00.000-05:002007-11-11T01:05:00.000-05:00If people are complaining, set up a jar at the doo...If people are complaining, set up a jar at the door for them to donate to the "warm house fund".
