The new year brings new hope, sometimes new love, and a bunch of other stuff our family dreams about. However the new year also bring new hardships. Such as no heat. YUP our Heater only will blow out cold air. As far as I am concerned if I wanted to be cold I would go out side and freeze. For two days now we have been forced to build fires. All I can say about that is "LAME". in a world that is dieing because of too much pollution in the air, and the only technology we can come up with to keep warm is to build a fire. There is something very wrong. Starting the fires only cause our house to smell like we have been camping up at the Ranch for weeks on end. STALE, DIRTY, and SMOGGY. We also have been trying to come up with ideas for wood. We used up all the other from last winter and we have resulted to chopping up some old furniture, which has made mom cry a few times. And who knows if the guy will even be able to fix the furnace... oh man, it feels like its going to be a very l o n g winter if he can't. Well have to wait until tomorrow to find out all the major details.
