I think fall is the best time in LA, we have beautiful indian summers. Right now the weather is dreadful, cold and rainy. I've slowly inched the thermostat down to 68, hoping Mr M won't notice!

I've got a "all or nothing" attitude sometimes, and it just got the best of me. I am truly enjoying how warm it is in here now! :) Last year we put insulation under the rafters of our crawlspace (we've got a basement on one part of the house and crawlspace on the other). It definitely helps! In the front part of the house we have old windows so we put plastic over those and it's made a dramatic difference. I think maybe we need to seal some windows and put more insulation in the attic. That will help! Miss M- Yeah, I feel almost embarrassed about posting this now, but it's the truth and I am sharing it with others. I'm going to come visit you!! I've always wanted to see LA! Ashley- I agree. Sacrificing going out to eat is definitely worth it to me to be warm and happy! Kacie- I realize how dumb that was now. I’ve got a “all or nothing” attitude sometimes, and it just got the best of me.

I was just thinking about this this morning. I'm willing to sacrifice something else in order to be comfortable in my own home. I’m with you on the comfort thing.

Frugality to me is saving so you can spend money on the important things, warmth and comfort are important! It finally turned cold here in LA and I admit I have the thermostat at 70, I'm a wimp.

I'm glad you're turning the heat up. You seriously could have frozen! What have you done to winterize your house? Sealed windows/doors/added insulation, etc? I'm not sure what part of the country you're in, but your bills just might be typical of the area and maybe there's not much you can do about it :-\ Whoa, lady! I’m glad you’re turning the heat up.
