Am at home this morning, waiting for the heater guy to come and fix my heater. Finally. Life being what it is, we'll probably have a heat wave the moment he leaves.

Yesterday, on [livejournal.com profile] slammerkinbabe's journal, I offered Trinny and Suzanne's advise about wearing black with color - makes the colour look tacky and the black look cheap, appearently. So naturally today I am wearing black pants with an orange sweater. It's sort of a burnt orange, not too bright. I did put a black sweater-jackety thing over it, so maybe that helps.

I really hate waiting for people. You can't get anything started because you're waiting, and you are on edge because you're waiting. Sigh.

Hopefully the next time I write I will have heat in my house. *fingers crossed*

I'm a huge fan of the U.S. What Not to Wear, butTrinny and Susannah's website was irritating. First - if you're not supposed to wear black with color, what *are* you supposed to wear black with?

Second - their "style barometer" made no sense; I always wanted an option that wasn't there.

Third - "If you're pear shaped don't wear kitten heels." Um...why?

I'll stick with Clinton and Stacy thanks!

Good luck! I hope he shows up soon; today isn't a good day to be without heat. (Sadly, Godot seems more reliable than repairpeople....)

I hope the heater guy shows up and fixes it soon!

Who are these Trinny and Suzanne people, and what the hell AM I supposed to wear black with? I wear black with color all the time - I like black pants. Black is supposed to go with everything.

*is wearing blue with black right now*

I say, wear what you like! A darker orange with black sounds perfectly fine to me.

You've got heating problems too? After speaking with the first-floor tenant of the house that I live in (I've got the top two floors; the house is broken into three apartments) I realized that the only thermostat in the entire house is in her apartment. So she controls the heat. And she's away in England until Sunday! I'm freezing!

So she controls the heat. And she's away in England until Sunday! I'm freezing! OMG that sucks worse than my heating problem. You're in Canada where I'm sure it is a million times worse, coldness wise.

Also, I really hope the woman isn't one of those '65 degrees no matter what' type people.

Think warm thoughts!
