It is included with my rent so it's reasonably economical. I feel the cold easily and if I'm not using my oven to cook meals my apartment will feel extra cold. :-) Tanya: actually there wasn’t anything especially wrong with the lack of heat (as in nothing broken), we’re on old style boiler heating and sometimes it takes a few weeks for it to “kick in” in the fall.

(and welcome!) Sounds like an awesome birthday weekend. @Monica - :) I'm not kissin' and tellin'. Just for fun, anyhow. But, it did make me realize that kissing makes me a happy girl, and I've gotta start dating again. I will not let a certain someone make me lose all trust in men. Nope. @Laura - Wow, that sounds very up and down! I'm so glad you decided to talk it out with the boy. That does wonders! Wish more people did that. @isabella - can't wait to hear all about it! @Raul - Sounds like a ton of fun for the weekend (not the sick part, though... ack, that sucks). I elected for a quiet evening, since I wasn't able to go to BarCamp the next day. And I didn't want to totally ruin my diet with drinking all weekend. (which, I kind of did for Saturday night anyhow) @BigPappa – Happy birthday!!! (and welcome!) Sounds like an awesome birthday weekend.
