Don't Tell Mark But.....

… I secretly like the fact that we keep our house a little on the cool side during the chilly months. It makes it possible for me to still bundle up comfortably under a quilt or afghan. I can hold a warm cup of tea (or hot-buttered rum) and feel its warmth work up my fingers. If my nose is cold I can lean into Mark and press the tip of nose in the soft part under his chin and feel it warm me down to my toes. It also means that my little furnace of a sweetie doesn’t mind it when I want to fall asleep at night curved against him. Charlie Bear spends every moment he can get on one of our laps because he didn’t get enough lap time in the summer when it was too warm to cuddle with us. It means I get to be cozy in any manner that I want and be warmed from my fingertips to my toes inside and out.
