I swear, the only thing that gets more heated around here are debates about toilet paper consumption.
I like the warm. Jay likes things cold. Freezing cold. Like, all windows open while it's snowing out cold.
Sometimes I think the greatest gift I could give my boyfriend would be to set him adrift on an arctic ice floe, with a sack of quarter pounders, and wave as he gently floats away into the frigid sea.
Thankfully, I can distract him with a big plate of cookies while I crank up the heat -- and then everyone's happy.
