Unseasonably cold inside and out!! Yesterday right after work Nick and I drove down to the MOA and met his aunts and cousins for supper. We had a nice meal with them and sat and chatted for a little while after we were done eating. When they left for their hotel, Nick and I did a bit of shopping ourselves. I got a piece of cardstock I wanted for my scrapbook (only 3 pages to go!) and we finally found a Twins T-shirt for Nick. Then we hit pay dirt: Sears had 4 Wii controllers in stock! Well, only two now. ;) We've been looking for a while so it was pretty exciting for us.
When we got home, it was like walking into a freezer! Our house was only 57 degrees! Nick fiddled with the furnace but couldn't get it to turn back on. We ended up building a fire and playing Wii and cribbage in front of it to keep warm. Then we piled the blankets on our bed, turned on a tiny space heater and went to sleep. In the morning, our room was toasty warm and the rest of the house was freezing (down to 43 degrees). This is exactly the opposite of how things normally are: our bedroom is usually the coldest part of the house! Luckily we were able to get a furnace guy out here at 10:30 and he fixed the problem in about 20 minutes: the ignitor went out and needed to be replaced.
It took a couple hours, but the house is finally warm again. I'm never taking the furnace for granted again!

Good thing you could get someone out to fix it or you would of had to sit around the fire pit and have pudgy pies for Easter.
It is fairly cold down here too. With no insulation it gets a pit cold int eh houses. But MN cold is not good in the house.
the house was nice and warm when we got there around 3:30 on Saturday
