It is So cold here right now. Were in ARKANSAS people. I remember many a Halloween walking around in SHORTS! C'mon!!! What is going on! As I type this (at 2am) its 45degrees outside... That is just over 10 degrees above FREEZING!!!! That is NOT October in Arkansas weather! NO NO NO.
I had prided myself on the fact that for that last month I did not turn on my a/c ONCE. The month prior to that, it was only on when I had to run the oven. So what did I have to do today? I had to turn on the HEAT! YES THE HEAT! I hate the smell of the heat the first time you turn it on... and remember, this home was EMPTY for at least a year before we moved into it, so it was that smell x10 Ick. Anyway I turned it on, and it works, so that is a big plus :) Its an old furnace. It warmed the house up and then I turned it back off! LOL. Well not off, but down to 60, so it will not get colder than that, in the house. That should work, for now. Soon we will get a fire going in the fire place. Need some things first, like WOOD and Tim to take the deal off the chimney... Soon. I am ready, SO ready to start a fire in there!!!
I have a new mission to be more "frugal". I am going to try to make most things this next 2 weeks from scratch, no boxed things or premade things. I am going to try to bake a bunch of things tomorrow and Sunday with the help of the kids, and then freeze them! Got my little freezer all cleaned out and that. So look forward to some "Frugal baking" on my other blog here soon :)
That was it I guess. I mainly wanted to blog that today. October 10th I had to turn my heat on, and it works. Pray my gas bill is affordable! :)
