Reasons I am not Margaret Thatcher, part 498-500

[blamebrampton]

498. Four hours sleep a night is nothing like enough.

499. My hair is recalcitrant.

500. I really fucking hated Pinochet.

it is -21 celcius here. -36 with windchill.

I am finding it hard to relate. except for the hair part, I totally get that.

You don't know how weird it is to read about nights being too hot to sleep when we are freezing our little buns off.

mpreg? *meep*

Ugh, so with you on the too hot to sleep font.

Also, I've finally figured out why most houses in Aus are one storey. Because it's too bloody hot upstairs. Of course, I didn't realise until I actually lived in a two-storey house and am now suffering the consequences. I know, I'm a little slow. It seems like it would be obvious. *sigh* ;)

You should definitely buy an underground eco-house with round windows and doors if you plan on staying in Aus any longer. How tall is J? I find men get very tetchy if they keep bumping their heads though. Our summer house in Finland was clearly built by tiny hobbit people, as the original doorways are about 5, 8", so we all have to duck through from one room to another. My brother is for some reason incapable of remembering to do this and consistently comes out of his duck too early and thwacks his head. Holidays there are punctuated with the phenomenon of finding a 24 year old man curled in a fetal position on the floor in a doorway, swearing blue murder, having hit the same sore spot on his head for the nth time.

Appealing as a hobbit house is though, I think you should both move over to Europe, where the climate is more sensible and you'll be closer to MEEEEE! (also to many other cool people).

Ugh! I hate that! We had several summers of insane sweat-soaked nights before we broke down and bought a little ac for our bedroom (I was NOT going through pregnancy with the nights in their 30's thanks!). It just sucks so hard.

I actually love Canada and it would be hard for me to live elsewhere but our weather extremes suck. Plus 30 in the summer and today is negative 20-something. I wish it could always be autumn...

You also look nothing like her - thankfully! :)

We didn't get any sleep in the summer until we got a window unit air conditioner for the bedroom. Fans are just not enough!

If it weren't for Pinochet, I probably would've grown up in Chile, and therefore wouldn't have the partner & kids I have now. Hate him anyway.

Now I'm thinking of Hugh Grant calling her a saucy little minx. Raaar.

How do you feel about clutch handbags? :D

[uminohikari.livejournal.com]

I can only sleep when it is ridiculously warm :( I sleep with 2 super-thick comforters.

I am so happy we recently installed the little inverter ac unit in the bedroom. Has made sleep possible. And doesn't use anywhere near as much power as you'd think if you're eco conscious.

You're seriously thinking of cutting your hair? All off, or just a trim? I can't picture you with short hair, that's too freaky.

*pets* *blows cool air*

I really need to get my hair cut because I hate it when it gets in front of my eyes. Thing is, it's too cold (and dark) to walk all the way to the hairdresser. *is a weak public travel-temperature person*
