Jenn: It's beginning to look a lot like...

The cold weather is beginning to arrive. I have resumed my relationship with the oil man. It is one I look forward to breaking all year long. I haven't seem him since May and I really wasn't happy to have to call him on Tuesday. He showed up much happier to see me than I was to see him, filled my tank, collected his cash and left me. He'll be back in six weeks or so - depending on the weather.
The temperatures in the North East have been mild. I woke last week to the heat on because it had dipped below 68 in my house and I quickly shut it off. Yesterday I turned on the bathroom and kitchen floors only. This morning I woke up all warm and toasty - hubby decided we needed some heat - it was in the low 60's inside - I promptly shut it off. I have a sweater on - I am not cold. I put the bathrooms and kitchen on again - I am not ready to start heating the whole house. It is a lot of square footage to heat and I am trying to keep the oil man at bay.
Yesterday I headed over to Macy's to pick up some blankets. Up to the third floor - and what do I see? Yep - you guessed it - full-on Christmas! The music, thank goodness, was not playing - but the Christmas trees were lit, the ornaments were hung and toys galore scattered about. I AM NOT READY TO THINK ABOUT CHRISTMAS YET! I need to get through Halloween - then I will start to accept that it's eight weeks to Christmas and begin to process that fact. I need the temperatures to dip into the 30's before I can start humming Christmas carols - actually I need to cook a Turkey before I can begin thinking about Christmas. For now, I am staying out of the stores until I can really deal with the whole holiday season thing.
