When I get a call for a cold space at work and I tromp in there in full snow gear from plowing the parking lot to see that the thermostat reads 69 and the poor things are "freezing" I tell them I'll adjust it in the computer and promptly forget about it.Jon Daytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249074125721849866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467233175753661815.post-53698580314676142322010-01-05T23:27:39.442-05:002010-01-05T23:27:39.442-05:00I checked out all of the links...

They're also cute/professional looking, required for school dontcha know. They're made by BOC and I got them at DSW. Here' they are! http://www.dsw.com/dsw_shoes/catalog/product.jsp?category=dsw12cat520004&prodId=193219<br /><br />Next up, for cute but not necessarily work appropriate, I'm going to make these for my wellies! http://sabbespot.blogspot.com/2010/01/tutorial-welly-warmers.htmlJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17216934191710347944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467233175753661815.post-27226132052881967402010-01-05T18:56:59.090-05:002010-01-05T18:56:59.090-05:00our house is also cold, I knew the basement play r...our house is also cold, I knew the basement play room was cold but I didn't realize it was 58 degrees - now there's a space heater down there. Apparently another cold snap is headed to CO. I am considering relocating myself and my offspring to LA or NOLA or FL - hurricanes be damned. However, come summer when the mercury says 90 and the humidity is 90 and I haven't even had my morning coffee I'll be wanting to be in dry CO. So, I'll just be true to my lazy self and stay here and complain. I am off to look at Jamie's boots though!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092725913936772008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467233175753661815.post-73148378188759305832010-01-05T18:39:16.874-05:002010-01-05T18:39:16.874-05:00Owing to my tremendous hot flashes and the side ef...Owing to my tremendous hot flashes and the side effects of the pain meds, this is the first year we are keeping the house set at 66 on a regular basis (in the winter).

Too much snow ...I hear ya about the snow and cold! Too much snow here and it is good to keep the thermostat down. Ours is set down low too (due to cost of propane) and we all do just fine! Electric heaters are cheaper here so occasionally we use them. When people come over, they bring their own slippers/hats/gloves/etc ;o) <br /><br />Keep warm in your cold house my friend and I am totally going to read all your comments for boots. I am in the market for a pair myself.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08785458737548945628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467233175753661815.post-26551919679356478712010-01-05T15:37:36.267-05:002010-01-05T15:37:36.267-05:00We live in Colorado and these are my go to snow bo...We live in Colorado and these are my go to snow boots:<br /><br />http://www.altrec.com/sorel-boots/womens-waterfall-snow-boot<br /><br />Waterproof and so warm I wear them without socks to and from work.<br /><br />That last sentence makes it sound like I WALK to work or something.
