I did not know that the City Bakery in Brentwood is related to the City Bakery in NYC.
Oh, is it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

just prompted to look at Zutano stuff thanks to a link in Kat's blog
Oops sorry, Lisa. To be an enabler though, everyone deserves at LEAST one cute outfit that was all their own. I'm not a huge Zutano fan, though Noah has some used. I'm much more of a gymboree addict. And gymboree's new cheaper cousin is Crazy 8.

It's true!!! Although the boy does have 7 other aunts plus numerous great aunts and two grandmothers so I'm thinking somebody is going to cave and get him a new suit of his own! (and it may be me because that Crazy8 What a Rascal suit is omg so cute!!!)
I already got him an Eagles mobile & fleecey blanket, though. My brother is a HUGE Eagles fan. And, while I'm not a sports person myself I do support Fandom!!!

I am sleepy and bored. I can't even waste time pretending to work on my Yuletide story as planned, because I have a bunch of boring busywork to do this afternoon.
Maybe I'll take a smoke break and go play in the snow.

Poll time!
For people who live in a part of the country that experiences 4 distinct seasons (basically, I'm thinking, WINTER as seen on TV), what temperature do you keep your thermostat at when you're home (1) and awake (i.e., doing normal home stuff -- reading, loafing, cooking, working, whatever), and (2) asleep?
I lived in an apartment for 7 years where I didn't regulate the heat, and because of where in the building my apartment was located, it was a blast furnace in the winter. I quite seriously left windows cracked open in below-freezing temps, and only wore short-sleeved shirts, and slept with just a top sheet (which often got kicked off).
Now, I know that *that* isn't normal, but now that I live with The Boy, I'm freezing all the time. I'm sure I need time to adjust, but before I beg him to turn up the thermostat, I don't know what's a reasonable daytime and sleeping temperature. He's been keeping it at 65 or so during the day, and 60 or 62 at night.
That seems low. Is 70 unreasonable during the day? I have no frame of reference any more, after living in the blast furnace for 7 years.
So I turn to you, oh my Buffistae.
