There is a fifteen-degree (F) difference between the thermostat setting and the actual temperature here. I have on: a t-shirt, a thick henley, a sweatshirt, a flannel button-down shirt, long underwear, sweats, fingerless gloves, thick socks, and slippers. My feet are furthermore nestled in amongst two pillows and a heating pad, and I have a frickin' lap blanket.

It's slightly colder downstairs; I think J. is making use of a scarf.

What are you wearing, baby?

You seem to have a stray / in the place of a period in that link. :)

Well, I expect y'all can figure it out.

It's just too dern cold. I am wearing a layered pile of clothes myself. If you put a lobster pot of water on the stove it will help heat things up, it did here.

Do you really want to know what i'm wearing in San Francisco? Is that really fair?

I suppose not.

You mammals!
"I'm, cold! Let me breathe! Give me back my leg! All my blood fell out! wwaaaaaahhhh!!" Jeeze!

I don't know if I made it up or heard it somewhere, but it was funny when said by a troll making fun of his somewhat less impervious companions.

That sounds vaguely familiar... Hmm.

Turtleneck, t-shirt, University of Massaferrets hoodie (hood up), woolen tights, ragwool socks, crosstrainers. If someone were to see me, I would lose my goth points. All of them.

I do think that the next time I stop in Harvard Square, I'm going to Hootenanny or Newbury Comics and get those nifty industrial/bondage fingerless gloves that all the youth seem to be wearing.

Home study-and-keep-warm clothes are, for me anyway, rarely sinister enough (the sweatpants Ihave on are a light grey, almost white). But my slippers have bats on them!

My fingerless gloves are cheap two-dollar work gloves that had a run in with Mr. Scissors.

I forgot to note that I was wearing pants (I still am, but not the same ones).

I shall have to look into the two-dollar work gloves available from the hardware store across the street. It would certainly be cheaper than, and probably just as stylish as, anything from Hootenanny.

Last night I had dreams about sweatpants. They were all lying around the apartment, having escaped from someone's laundry pile. None were my size--too large or too small, and I was getting quite cold because I wasn't wearing pants. I'd probably just kicked the covers off in my sleep.

In just a few short sentences there are pants and then no pants, despite pants everywhere! It's mind-boggling, really.

I can't find my pants!!!

Maybe they ended up on rojagato's floor (http://www.livejournal.com/users/quislibet/188512.html?thread=651872#t651872). Not that I'm insinuating anything.

You must have functioning heat.

My husband keeps laughing at me because when I'm sitting on the couch I have a blanket over my head and wrapped all around my body. He calls it the "blanket cave". Like the bat cave but warmer. :)

Plus I have on a bra, t-shirt, fleece henly, fleece pants, and oddly no socks or anything on my feet.

i'm not going to go on about LA weather, but from your description, let's play guess what temperature it was at your house. i'm guessing outside it was 3 degrees, inside it was 55 degrees and your thermostat was set to 70. what do i win?

That indeed is all more or less correct, within a 2-degree margin of error! Although I didn't look at the outside temperature when I wrote that, so I can't say exactly.

You win... a better appreciation for the temperature of your own living space.

That is a good one! Although it does not sound very warm.

Nice A, by the way.
