My DH and I had an argument last night.
"Woman, it's burning up in here!"
"No, it's not."
"There's a reason why I'm running around in my boxers."
"There's a reason why I'm huddling under a blanket."
"Look at me. I'm sweating."
"I have been cold all day! I was shivering in my jacket at work. Someone set the thermostat for 73 degrees!"
"Um, that's called room temperature."
"Well, technically, any temperature that a room is would be room temperature."
We often wonder how we have stayed married. He's always hot. I think he's nuts. I am always cold when it's below 76 degrees. But, this Thanksgiving will be our four-year anniversary. We've survived San Angelo, three kids and the apartment from hell.
Here's to many more years of thermostat wars!

Steve's dad was the cold one in our home. Of course, he ran around in his boxers and no shirt, and then turned the thermostat up to 80. I think it's in the marriage manual somewhere that one shall be cold, and one shall be hot, and neither shall be the other at any time.
I really want to buy a cabin in Michigan. I miss that place. It was quiet, and fun
Steve,
You should buy a getaway cabin wherever you end up living. I wish I had access to the cabin still, too.
Congrats on 4 years! If you can survive San Angelo, you can survive anything.
(Not to mention parenthood.)
Thanks for the congrats on the length of time. Although, I have to admit that it has gone by quickly. DH definitely makes it entertaining!
Someday, Steve, we will have a getaway place....I'll send you up with the kids and I'll relax at the spa (or catch up on my sleep).
If we had the Cabin back in MI, we could send the kids out in the woods and I could go fishing and you could cook and vacuum and nap (in that order, of course).
cook and vacuum and nap, oh my!
cooking and vacuuming are hard to do while huddled under a blanket.
It's actually chilly today. Of course, I'm at school, where the temperature is set at 58 degrees, as opposed to home, where we set the AC at 82.
Oh yes! The familiar temperature wars. They happen in our house all too often. My fiance always used to be hot ... then he went on a health-kick diet/lifestyle change thing (which drove me near nuts) and he lost 50 pounds. Now he's always cold and I'm the one with the hot flashes! Go figure.
Oh nuts. I meant to say Happy almost anniversary! Best wishes for many, many more.
Ahhh at my house we keep the thermostat at 60 degrees until Brett gets home and then he hikes it up to 85.
And I just keep mine at an even 65 all the time. But I am carrying around a lot of personal insulation...
