There may be
an accumulation of snow in the
metro Atlanta area this weekend! As
Winter is finally upon us (for a spell), I thought it was a good time to acquire more stock for the bedding closet. It's
always good to have extra blankets, quilts and throws at hand. Besides, I had some limited-time
Shop Your Way Rewards (SYWR) points that were due to expire today.
Thus yesterday, using the
SYWR points I'd earned from several
Sweepstakes Doorbusters Prizes and a few (small denomination)
Sweepstakes Prize Points Wins --- approximately $8.00 in points, when taken together --- I ordered two
free Cannon Fleece Throws (50" W x 60" L), a Blue Plaid one and a Grey Plaid one, that were $3.99/ea. on sale utilizing the free
store pickup service, and which will be lovely for snuggling while reading or watching movies.

I
don't like being overheated, whether it's
Winter or
Summer. In
Winter, I generally
keep the thermostat set at around 64 degrees unless somebody is ill or we have guests, in which case I will adjust it accordingly. (There's a decent amount of research regarding how
long-term mild cold exposure helps with metabolism by forcing the body to activate brown fat (BAT) in order to expend white fat as energy instead of storing it, which in turn works to keep one lean.) I'd rather snuggle in a blanket, if need be, or add layers of clothing, than be in sweltering heat any day of the year.
Scoring
free blankies makes me feel a bit like
Linus, though
Schroeder is my favorite
Peanuts® character. (It's all good, however, because I like
Linus, second best. Poor old
Charlie Brown.) Perhaps subconsciously, I gravitate toward
the blue and the grey colors because of my avid interest in
Civil War history. Then, again, I tend to like cool hues in home decor. Who knows really?
The mind is a terrible thing....
