That's what I'm talkin' about!!!

Day 26

So, yesterday I got to go on a small road trip adventure with my daughter and my best friend.  The final destination was West Branch to pick up an electric fireplace from my mom's house.  We've all heard about and probably most have seen these little fireplaces.  My house is perfect for me - I LOVE it.  Sure there are some things that need to be updated or that I would like to change, but all in all, I am perfectly happy in my cozy little house in my cute little neighborhood.

The thing is, the house is a quad-level.  Basically, it's a tri-level with an additional basement.  Well, we spend all of our time in the family room - which is at normal basement level.  The big comfy sectional is in the family room, the big tv, the wii, the stereo, the computer - all that crap is in the family room.  Lately, we have been freezing while watching tv/doing homework/playing on computer, etc.  So, the heat has been turned up to about 72 or 73 - which for us is a bit crazy.  The biggest problem is that the bedrooms are upstairs so it's sweltering frickin hot upstairs and freezing cold downstairs. 

Long story short, my mom had a fireplace waiting for me that I apparently blew off when she originally bought it.  (Sorry, mom)  So, the girls and I toodled up to fetch it yesterday.  Now, we weren't really sure what this little thing was capable of doing so we were pleasantly surprised when we were able to turn the heat back down to 68 and be perfectly comfy hanging in the family room.

Nevermind that it's just frickin cute :)
