I'm pretty determined to make it until December 1st without heat! Today it was only 60 in the house when I got up at 6AM. I made some hot tea, grabbed a blanket and sat down to work to take advantage of the quiet time before the kids got up.
Even the kids are on board with the no heat thing. They keep asking if we are "winning the contest" and I keep saying "I think we are!" Of course, they don't realize that the prize is a lower power bill! We are in Northern California, and the weather has been really mild this year. Last week it was in the 70s, but I think we're done with that kind of weather now.
I hope to get lots done tomorrow, even if it's cold in the house... (and no spending required)
-plan menu and grocery list for Thanksgiving
-start a couple of Christmas craft projects
-carefully examine the financial obligations for December
-have some reading time with the kids
-do some homework for some professional development projects I'm involved in
-laundry and a little housecleaning
-run
Thanks to all the bloggers before me who inspired me to finally begin to write on the empty blog.

I have been remiss in not sticking to my contest tracking responsibilities, and i had no idea that some people would still be living in the cold!
But, hey...i turned my heat on in October, HOWEVER, it's only on at 59 degrees when i'm awake, 55 at night. So i'm still freezing my butt off but i have 2 very small space heaters i haven't used yet, but one is set up in my kitchen where i eat and the other in my bedroom. I would use them if i had to and keep the heat down for the rest of the house. Cus in the winter i live in my kitchen, office and bedroom.
