Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

But then I love duos and I love all of the colors in it. I put it on my nails and I just stare. Even better if I can do it in light so I can turn them one way and then another and then another.

I know what you mean, Cass. I can't stop staring at my nails and watching the colors shift in the light.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Where, Liese?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

It got down to around 50F last night, and I slept with the bedroom window open, under a down comforter and thermal blanket. I love cool weather for sleeping. October's probably my favorite month in NC because it's usually mid-70s during the day and 50s at night. My idea of perfect weather. The cat loves it, too, because I throw all the windows open when I'm home, thus bringing him two inches closer to pouncing on all the things.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I usually keep my thermostat somewhere between 65 and 68 when I'm awake, and I turn it down to between 62 and 65 for sleeping. I'm not sure what my summer temps are -- my air conditioner doesn't have an actual temperature reading.

I also hate getting dressed in the cold, so on winter mornings, I usually turn the heat way up for the half hour or so between when I wake up and when I leave the house, and then turn it back down when I leave.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My thermostat's on 65 right now, and I have a window behind me open slightly. I like it cool. I love sleeping in a chilly room under quilts. And on quilts. I've stopped using fitted sheets; they're annoying, especially for a restless sleeper like me. I just lay one quilt over the memory foam mattress topper, and put two on top for sleeping under, one thick and one thin, or a quilt and a sheet in warmer months. This works because thanks to my mom and my grandmother, I have 8274645 quilts.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Once it is fully winter, I bet our house temp will be closer to 70, but anything less than 70 has me chilled. The temp last night never got above 69 indoors and I did in fact sleep in a sweatshirt and under covers. If I get out my down comforter maybe I can set the thermometer to 68 at night.
