01/26/2005: "I'm not a cover hog"

Nothing sucks more than being accused of being a cover hog when I know I'm not.

Will is constantly overheating while I'm always freezing my butt off. I've been told this is a common source of controversy for many couples. When I'm in bed, I pile all the comforters, and blankets that I possess over me since Will enjoys sleeping with the heat off (or even worse, with the window open, which I forbid at this time of the year). While we're sleeping, he often wakes me up by shoving all the blankets that creep over to his side on top of me.

And then, in the morning, he accuses me of being a cover hog.

This always gets me furious and flabbergasted. No matter how many times I tell him that he put the covers on me, he'll insist that I stole them all and cite one or two times when he woke up and found me pulling them to my side to justify his argument. Why he even wants the covers since he so dearly loves his cold air is far, far beyond me.

This will probably be an argument that I will never get to win. He does a lot of stuff in his sleep that he doesn't remember, as I've found out recently, but that story will have to wait. My covers are calling for me to come steal them.

I just wanted to drop in and say thanks for the comment. I've been browsing your site and I have to say I really love it. (Not just the design, but also the content)

Maybe for your birthday I'll get you your own set of covers that Will can't take.

I think it's just a mars/venus argument... Matt always bitches that I steal all the covers, which I do.

But I calmly point out that if he didn't insist on having the fan on, I wouldn't always take the covers, and he wouldn't get cold.
