Just Chillin'

So this morning I was thinking that I should blog again and the only thing that I could focus on was the fact that I am freezing.  Since we got back from our trip Kristen and I have been waiting to have propane delivered and so the past few days have consisted of a flurry of space heaters shuffled from room to room.  Today we should have heat and it really couldn't be coming at a better time...my toes are freezing, my fingers are numb, and I have just started sneezing as well.

YES

This whole ordeal got me thinking about the Renaissance.  I have always thought that it would have been so amazing to have lived through this richly diverse time in human culture.  The humanist movement began, music was changing, science was starting to really challenge common thought, and of course, art was flourishing. 

But this morning, suddenly, all I could think about were those drafty castles!  How did these people survive without modern technology?  I can only imagine how I would have reacted to waking up morning after morning to a cold chamber since the fire had burned out four hours earlier.  This little princess would not have gotten out of bed.  Regardless of the fine artwork to be seen, or the fantastic literature to be read, I think I would have slept through it all.

I have been cold for three days now and I can barely force myself to get out from under the covers to get into the shower or the hot tub.  Boy am I spoiled!
