"Oh haha I think we have met."

meara, did you know VH1 made a sequel to Drumline??

But it was 64 in my room this morning, and that I say is Too Cold.

We have a programmable thermostat, which was WAY more relevant when we both worked outside the house, because we set it to go down to 60 or so during the day while we were gone, and then come back up to 68 right before we got home. Now that I work from home, well, I keep it tolerable all day long. But we set it to go down to 62 or so at night, which is fine because of the magic of the heated mattress pad, long may it reign.

I heard it was happening, but forgot--did it already come out?? Do I need to set my TiVo??

It's on right now!

Bulbs planted, mulch laid, bricks discovered(!), last of 3 loads of laundry this weekend is drying, cover back on futon and I just pulled the cauliflower that I roasted with curry powder from the oven. I've never roasted cauliflower before, I like it in curry sauces, so we'll see.

Had to warm up the kitchen somehow (no radiator in there) and the cauli was a $2 impulse buy at the market.

I just set my TiVo to record it at 1:30--I guess "on right now" is 1:30 on the East Coast, huh? :) Thanks for letting me know!!

You are correct!

Thanks, Zen. I'm just super cautious after the burst pipe nightmare of last year. And I need to keep the house in good shape until the deed in lieu process is done. AFAIK there are no hoses attached to the bibs and the water is turned off.

If the water is turned off, you should have no problem.

I was right to plan to do something else (other than just eat it) with this pot roast -- as I thought I remembered, it was a really crappy piece of meat! So another hour or so in the pot with the sauce should help. And it smells delicious!
