The Virtues are finally HOT
When we returned to Provo after Thanksgiving it was pretty cold so I flipped on the heat. We rarely use our heater because we are the middle unit in the condos and for the past four years we've been siphon heat off of our unsuspecting neighbors. Occassionally, we feel like splurging and turn it on, but it doesn't seem to make that much difference so we just do without it. That worked just fine until Monday morning at 4am when I woke up shivering. . .nearly frozen. The vent was blowing very cold air. . .no heat coming from that baby. I finally got suspicious about the heater and had a friend recommend someone who would be competant and non-patronizing to take a look at the old girl. Brandon (our heat doctor) had some very interesting news to report. Apparently, our heater has NEVER worked because it was wired incorrectly. So, everytime we turned the heat on, it was actually the air conditioning. Yep, I felt like a complete idiot. Who doesn't realize for 4 years that their heater is actually the air conditioning? ME! Needless to say, I'm going to start paying attention. Remember how our TV hasn't been working? Maybe I'll go home tonight to see if it's plugged in.

Maybe we should all pitch in for Kimmy and Michelle for a T.V. for a very Merry Christmas! If we all gave like $25 dollars we could get them a bitchen tv and maybe their lives wouldn't feel so cold.
That is inappropriate.
i'll try not to post my comment 5 times this go around... it kept saying it wasn't going through... HA. Well my comment is about the pic of course - is it me or does that michelley girl seem to widdling away a bit more with each photo! You look fabulous Michelley (although you always have!).
Melissa--with that comment, I remembered why I adore you so much! Though--you might want to have your eyes checked. . . Hey, when you lived at the GV, did you ever notice that our apartment was especially cold in the wintertime? Help me here. I feel like an idiot.
i never noticed your apartment being that cold - although we didn't use our heat that much either i don't think... well mere always wanted more heat, i always wanted less and julie was just to nice to take a side! i think i would have noticed if it were blowing cold air though... that was the kicker for me - but please YOU are not an idiot! : )
Veronica what have I told you about being a stick-in-the-mud? Bitchen is used freely by people like Lori Jenkins, Michelle Virtue, and probably even the mayor of Blackfoot IDAHO!
Okay okay...it was also used by my mother around the year 1995 describing a ceiling fan.
I knew we liked your mom. Ceiling fans are "Bitchin"--especially this time of year in Idaho. They're so convenient.
