Oh, I am so ready for winter. All this summer nonsense with trying to keep cool is making me crazy. Give me the cold! And also the candles and hot drinks that I will use to heat my spouse and my house!!
I was thinking about hot drinks the other day and was wondering how I could keep my coffee piping hot in my freezing cold house during the winter. (Sorry, Lloyd.) I didn’t want a plug-in warmer, since that goes against my eco-freakiness. That leaves …. fire. I searched on the internet for warmers that use tea lights as fuel and almost bought one that heats up a teapot, but then thought surely I could cobble something together myself. As luck would have it, I saw the votive holder that Brad brought this summer. It’s called Oregano and it’s perfect for my mugs! This won’t work with my flat-bottomed mugs – they’ll slide right off. Woo-hoo! C’mon, winter!
*sigh* When will we get an IKEA in Nebraska?
