Awww - bundling up, that is for sure!
I wish I had a camera handy when the wife woke up the other day...wearing her thermal workout pants, sweatshirt with hoodie and big fuzzy slippers - she looked ready for a polar expedition. I'm like - "It's 45º outside and almost 68º in here" She says "I know, but I'm still cold!...when will the hearth be done so we can put the insert back in?
I could only answer..."hopefully soon...very soon" The new heat pump is filling the gap while the insert is out for fireplace remodeling, but it's not even 'cold' outside and we're both missing the heat!

My wife needs an internal glow plug that can warm her up every time she complains about it being cold in the house when it's 65 out and I'm outside in my shorts doing yard work
"Tell tale signs that you need to light the stove"
When the other half is huddled around a light bulb.
When the refrigerator has not run in the last 24 hours.
When the remaining ice from my martini sits in the sink drain till the next morning.

Jags that sounds like my house before I switched from oil last year. I lit a fire last night, just so that I wouldn't be tempted to stay in bed when the alarm went off.
