Not in a ‘Oh poor shivering Texans it is 55 degrees‘ kinda way.
More of a ‘How can Texas be so cold?‘ kinda way.
I know that I am not getting any sympathy from Northern readers, but you have to remember that there is a reason I live in Texas…it is warm. There are sacrifices I make during the summer (enduring 32 straight days above 100) so that I can snicker at snow and ice during the winter.
Snow? HA!
Ice? Tee hee!
And because it is warm the houses are built to maximize A/C.
And because it is warm the houses are built to create air flow.
And because it is warm the houses are provided with heat as an afterthought.
This results in climate zones across the house. My closet must be the North Pole. It is definitely penguin-ready. My master bedroom is Canada. Blog-Stedman’s office is the Northern states. The living room is the Southern states including Texas. The kitchen must be situated smack dab on top of the equator…where did I put away that fan?
It seems nice to be able to travel the world in just a few steps…
*cough*
The problem is that you have to dress differently for each zone. This results in various layers of warmth strewn across the house.
Going to the kitchen? Don’t forget the sunscreen.
Going to watch a little TV? You might need a sweater.
And Don’t even THINK of entering my closet without a scarf and snow boots…It has been cold here this week.

Ha Ha, You just described my house! I keep a sweater on a chair in the dining room, a quilt on the couch, and throw by my computer. Love the new look by the way.
Oh I know it is colder in my San Diego house than it is in my in-laws Fargo house–we’re freezing AND we’re not used to being cold. I feel for you.
Ok, I am snickering at you and your sudden chilly weather as i stand here knee deep in lake effect snow, BUT your climatical (made up word) melting pot of a house is going to get you sick!
sympathy. from someone in michigan. who has a freaking freezing cold closet…all year round? bwahahahaha…er…hi there, nice to meet you…
my first time here. ahem…yeah, hope things warm up for you, over there in texas…*walks off giggling*
Our house was built in 1930. I think it was of FDR works projects built by people who have no business building houses. It’s drafty and insulation was NOT a consideration. Sweaters are not optional gear here.
PS penguins live near the South Pole 😉
it actually is colder in my house than it is outside. weird.
Our house is kinda that way too. Unfortunately my husband’s office is the warmest room in the house and I am NEVER in there. Maybe I need to take over that room too!
I walked the dog yesterday morning and the temperature was ZERO. No sympathy from me is right, lady!
La la la la la I can’t hear you la la la la la 5 degrees here la la la la la la
Actually, I was going to offer you sympathies for living in Texas, not for the temporary cold…LOL!!
