So what could be more frustrating than a $330 heating bill that still kept my house at about 10 degrees colder than it should be…me freezing my butt off and having to hide upstairs all the time, inspiring John to buy me a space heater for Christmas so that he could sometimes have my company?
More frustrating could be that our 2 year-old furnace has motherboard issues (? My furnace has a motherboard?) and the repairman has been here for 2 hours and can’t seem to fix it. It seems that the furnace was sucking up the natural gas and making heat, but then not sending it out into the house. Kind of like Pac-Man...chomp, chomp, chomp but producing nothing.
Yep, and the roof guy is finally here, after 3 weeks of harassing the roofing company to send someone out to fix the leak in my brand-new roof. Ack, my house is falling apart.
Oh, yeah, and I have 5 guests coming over in about an hour for dinner and then to spend the night…in my cold, leaky house. Boo hoo…
You are a busy lady! I messed up y blog when I was editing it and had to delete it and I lost the comment. I am not the best when it comes to blogger. I went out this weekend and bought a bag full of "stuff" to seal my drafty windows! AND I carry small space heater room to room! Crazy!

I hope it all works out.

Ugh! Our furnace isn't working properly either, so I feel your pain. But the leaky roof? What a pain, especially with all this rain and wind. Hope it gets fixed soon. And hope your evening was fun despite the house troubles.
Oh! and I love the new look. That banner art is so fun!

So . . . where did the heat then go? I'm glad your furnace did not become a supernova while it was chomping away. Sounds kind of scary.

I keep sending you sunshine, but it must be dissipating somewhere over the Pacific Ocean.... come to think of it, 5000 miles is a long way...oh, well, can you give me credit for trying? ^-^

I so feel for you on the house problems. I had furnace issues this summer, and then leaky(more like flood) problems in December. We want to feel comfortable, and RELAXED in our homes, not stressed. I hope it all gets fixed soon.
