The heat -- it is a pumping.
The cats are getting fat.
November is here. I've located coats and scarves and seem to be hankering for roasts and root vegetables. We haven't had a fire in the fireplace yet, but that doesn't mean we have been toasty warm. We decided to see how long we could go without putting on the heat and made it to October 30th, but since we were having company for dinner, we couldn't freeze our friends -- so we put the heat on.
Now the spell is broken and the furnace is humming all day long.
Cat food consumption has doubled. I can't figure out why my two lazy boys decide how and when it's time to pig out.
I watched The Good Shepherd the other night and sure wished it had more dialogue...I know a person who uses eyebrow movements and lip twitches to communicate -- the movie reminded me of him. This guy also communicates by a few grunts: UH, HUH, UNH, almost everything you ask him can be answered by a shift of those antediluvian syllables. It's led to some confusion in our relationship. For ex: I've been all set to go somewhere with him and interpreted an Uh Unh as an Uh Huh...the former is a no, as it turns out and the latter is the yes.
But, at least this guy knows who Hugo Chavez is.

winter :^P
My alltime no heat record is nov 18.
Canopenner...wow, you are one tough dude...I only made it Oct 30th and it's really been mild in CT.
As I was telling Sangroncito, I love being frugal if it's a game...now we're doing "eat out of the freezer" and only buy things like eggs and bread and milk. We have two freezers packed with foods of unknown origins, it's time to defrost, evaluate, identify and eat this stuff!!
The cats always know...they just do...
Our cat always eats the same worthless amount...she is picky like me :)
Our heat went on today...not bad! :)
Our home is new and the insulation is REALLY good...keeps it regulated for a few days either when changing from hot to cold or vice versa...

As much as I love the tropics, I do miss the autumn of my childhood in the Northeast. Chilly weather, falling leaves, fireplaces, warm clothes, cuddling with the cat....sounds wonderful.
