I like my house about 77 and with that I sleep undercovers. I realize I am cold natured. Ice water runs through my veins.
My friend, P, keeps the house at 74 in winter, around 66 in summer. I always dress differently going there than I would at home. Because even with my air conditioning and my fireplace and heating, I let it get warmer in summer and cooler in winter.
Totally fascinating. It's probably 66 inside now and I am in warm-ish yoga pants (by which I mean not the super thin ones I have) and a ribbed tank. Totally comfy for me.
That's really cool, beth. I wonder how he figured that out.
New Natter! I am caught up for the first time in 7 months.

77 in our house has DH and I sleeping downstairs in the basement without covers. In the winter the house is usually around 67-68, and the summer we keep the thermostat around 72. For the past week we've been able to keep the windows open and the house around 70. It's been quite nice.
I made baked gnocchi and cheese, like mac and cheese but gnocchi instead of macaroni. ohmygod good.
oh, that sounds amazing. Did you use frozen or cook them ahead of time?
65 is my ideal temperature. It is where my thermostat stays during the day in the winter (55 at night). It is where the thermostat would stay in the summer if my conscience did not insist on 75. (Not 80. 80 would turn by body into one big rash.)
Dana, I love that nail polish color. Pretty.
And speaking of loving nail polish, I'm realizing that the color on my toes is much prettier in this kind of grey, cloudy light than in bright sunlight. When I wore it in summer it looked more charcoal than purple, but today it was a soft plum with charcoal undertones.

It really does and that was my question as well. Unless it was the shelf-stable-y ones. Though I'd still wonder about pre-cooking. Mmmm, gnocchi and cheese baked all bubbly.
My ideal temp (daytime) is 66-74 depending on the season, I think. Definitely cooler at nights.
I'm okay up to about 80 and down to about 62. Part of that comes from having the low humidity, so the heat is not that problematic. And part of it comes from a lot of time in less than ideal conditions, so I've become acclimated to a broader definition of comfort.
Which are you wearing, Burrell? The Yasmeen? I don't have that one but it might be a winter color for me.
I'm wearing Yasmeen on my fingers and Ki on my toes. The Ki is the one that looks so dramatically different in different light. Yasmeen on the other hand is a great one on the hands, period. It's a warm purple.
