Snug as Bugs in a Rug

Now that we have the doors and all the cracks and crevices in the basement hermetically sealed, it's remarkably warmer in here. Downstairs anyway. Upstairs you still get that, "Oh my God these sheets are cold" feeling. We need more insulation in the attic. But until then I'll just keep my eyes peeled for some flannel sheets. Of course I can't just run to Wally World and pick some up. No, we've got those darn ultra thick mattresses that require ultra-mega-super deep sheets. So I have to search high and low for flannel sheets that don't require me to sell one of my kidney's to afford them. Nothing is ever easy around here.

Now that the insulation is up in the garage, I'm told it's nice and toasty out there too. I wouldn't know. I froze my butt off trying to clean up the front porch and hang the holiday decorations and have thus declared all outdoor activities postponed until spring. Or until my butt thaws anyway.

Good luck on the butt thaw! Just returned from yet another yarn run. Only 2 more scarves and my part of the family is done........

You crack me up! Laughed so hard on the "butt thaw" comment! (I don't like winter either!)

I know where you can get flannel sheets for cheap! JCPenney's having a big sale, queen-size sheet sets for $30. (jcp.com) I'm gonna order the pink polka-dot ones. If they don't fit you could always send 'em back.

Jayne, I literally just minutes ago ordered those, free shipping even! I ordered a set for each bed.

Over the weekend my parents bought a coat for my son at the JCP store for $18.88. Can you believe that? It was originally $79! Even if it falls apart after the first wash, it's a deal.
