We like it chilly... in the summer it's usually kept in the low 70s and that's pretty much the norm in the winter too. I love curling up with a blanket on the couch or in bed, no matter the season. Right now is perfection, though. The windows are wide open and it's a cool 61 degrees. Perfect sleeping weather!
2. What temperature do you keep your thermostat on at night?
Same as above, maybe a tad colder. We didn't touch the thermostat last month and we just got our bill. It's a whopping $160... that is RIDICULOUS for 1,000 sf. Usually I am the one that controls the thermostat and keeps my sister in check... but between her boyfriend moving in and all the changes in general, I guess I held back on my control issues around the house. Might have to take over that one again.
3. In a canister of mixed nuts, do you pick out certain varieties and leave the others?
Yup. I love the cashews. Those usually go first. Then pistachios. Then almonds. Peanuts are usually in there last. They're boring.
4. What is your favorite kind of M&M?
Peanut butter! Oooohhhh, man. I could totally go for some PB M&M's right now...
5. How do you buy books? (Amazon, bookstore, new, used, electronic, etc)
Ummm, all. Seriously. I have a book buying PROBLEM. I cruise into Half Price Books at least a couple times a week, I check out books weekly from the library, I am total buds with my UPS guy and I regularly compare prices with electronic copies. I have a legit problem. Do I care? Nope. Not really.
6. How do you like your eggs cooked?
Scrambled with salsa or hot sauce. Mmmm, yum!
7. Can you whistle?
Not at all! I have tried for years and I just can't do it!
8. What common word do you always misspell?
I'm actually a very good speller until someone is watching me. When someone is watching me I will second guess every word, but overall I know that I am very good at spelling.
9. Are you afraid of flying?
Not at all. I love flying!
10. How often do you go shopping?
Not all that often actually! Wait. What kind of shopping? Obviously I shop for books on a weekly basis. Clothes shopping happens when I need something, and it's rarely to the mall. If I need clothes I usually end up at Maurices (which is a stand alone store in my area), TJ Maxx, Kohl's or some other department store. Groceries and Costco trips usually happen every week and a half or so.
My favorite kinds of shopping trips consist of driving around town to different stores. I think I had my fill of malls and would be happy never setting foot in one again.
Pick your favorite question and answer it below!
Oh my goodness, I would be so upset if my electric bill was that high. I try to keep my thermostat around 80 in the summer, so I don't have to deal with that stress.
ReplyDeleteI can't whistle either! Or wink!
ReplyDeleteThis was a first great post to read on your blog - I feel like I really got to know you just from one post! Yeah, for 10 on tuesday!
Whoa. That is a crazy expensive utility bill! In my old place, I had a wall unit which was super duper inefficient, and I think my highest bill was around $80. now that I live downtown, I run my a/c non-stop and it's only like $30-40! Sweet. :) Another reason I am glad I moved. Ha. And central air > wall unit. :)
ReplyDeleteFor the shopping question - my answer is about 4 x's/year. i maybe buy a thing here or there in between, but about 3-4 times a year, my best friend goes shopping with me and helps me pick out work clothes, etc. I actualy do not enjoy shopping at all, but I really enjoy going with her.
The cashews are definitely the best part of mixed nuts. Why don't I just buy cashews instead?! I also hate macadamia nuts - those definitely take last place for me over peanuts.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could ever get my fill of malls--haha! I love them! How often do I go shopping? I think I might seriously buy something every week and I don't mean food or Target--I think I mean clothes and shoes. At least one item a week, but often I internet shop as well--because I love getting packages in the mail.
ReplyDeleteI love buying books too.. I don't have any more place for them :D
