Heater love.

Because we don't live in times where we can all have a fireplace in our rooms, and because much of my time is spent at my desk in my room, I rely on this little guy to keep the feeling in my fingers and toes.

Oh, how I love him so.

I curl around him nearly every day, leave him at full blast till my room is ridiculously warm (only realized when stepping outside of the room), and only sometimes do I forget to turn you off at night and wake up in a sweat.

So, what I am really trying to say is thanks. Thanks for the warmth and good times. I hope you never leave my life.

Lovely all around

Tonight as I was getting ready for bed, I looked down at my oversized sweatshirt and sweatpants. Warm? Sure. Cute? Not so much. I wouldn't even answer the door to a solicitor in these things. They aren't ratty or anything, but to me sweats just say to people you see that "Hi, I don't care what you think of me."

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind when other people where sweats or anything. I get the days when jeans are just not looking that good. It's just for me I can't wear them in public.

So I was thinking about a little something I have been wanting for a few years now, but I can never find one up to my expectations.

Remember the nightgown Eliza wore while singing "I Could Have Danced All Night" in My Fair Lady?

I want it. Real bad.

Any tips on where to find one similar? It doesn't have to be exactly the same, but whenever I see that similar style I go weak in the knees. I just find them oh-so romantic, don't you agree?

PS. Isn't she just darling in this movie?? It's my favorite of hers.

One of my favorite things:

Laundry right out of the dryer.

(I was about to climb into the dryer and snuggle all of my clothes.)

It's warm, snuggly, and smells nice and clean.

I mean, what's better than that?

PS. I am starting to think my family has a thing for laundry. We got our new washer Saturday, Thank goodness, it was getting pretty bad without a washer in the house and we stood around watching it wash our clothes for awhile. We were pretty much in awe since it was so quiet and spun the laundry so fast. We are easily amused.

PS. PS. Anyone else use these in their dryer instead of laundry softner?

Dear Weather,

I would *really* appreciate it if you got cooler.

I enjoy the overwhelming warmth you give us every year, but enough is enough.

It is now the end of September, and the 100 degree heat just isn't cute anymore.

If you need a model, please look to Seattle or London weather.

Much love,

Michelle

P.S. In a compromise, I will wear my flip-flops in the winter when it isn't raining (as it usually isn't) in a tribute to the hotter days of summer

Come on Winter!

While unfortunately this is not the view from my window,

I absolutely cannot wait for winter to come again....

And this time I will be prepared. Enter, the Slanket.

Who needs the ever-popular-cult -like snuggie, when you can sport a Slanket?

Mine will be in hunter green.

Because everyone will be jealous of me. Because I can pull a Scarlett O’Hara . Because I will feel like Harry Potter. Because I will be warm.

It will be as if I am wearing a blanket that has sleeves.

Now you are probably think that I will feel set, completely ready for the mind-numbing cold temperature my house will be kept at this winter. Not so fast young grasshopper!

This...

....is also necessary.

The Sleepphones. They are headphones that are comfy enough to sleep in.

This will become a new craze. No more earbuds falling out of your ears while doing chores around the house, no more sore ears from jamming those same earbuds in so that they stay in, all the while during cold months you can pull that sucker over your ears so they stay cozy all-night and all-day long.

With these products, you and I will not only feel warm and cozy during those winter months, but will also look totally awesome.
