Brilliant Radiation

Our house has these supersweet concrete floors throughout and while they are a bit rough on the legs (unless you're a sucka and spring for a pair of Crocs [or somesuch] {mine are Faisal Orange, Nena's are NenieyNena Wedding Pink}) they give the place a really cool vibe while keeping wicked cool in the summer...and conducting heat really well in the winter...or early fall as the case may be.

These floors are amazingly awesome. It's the best of both worlds. You get the crispness of tile, but the warmth of carpet. I don't think I can properly describe how amazing this shit is. Warms your core, cools your skin, just brilliant.

The only issue is that Nena and I deal with heat very differently. She's a human furnace who holds in heat poorly and I hold in heat well so long as my feet stay warm. Translation: Nena needs a nippy 66 degrees, and I need a human(e) 72. Because overheated feet mean an unhappy Nena and underheated feet mean a sick Nenie.

You wouldn't think that 6 degrees would matter that much, but you have to remember, our floors do a shitty job of holding in heat, so unless the heat is up a bit more...it's gonna be a long winter for Nenie.

And no, socks don't help that much.

Still, though. Radiant heating rocks my universe. Just had to get that out there, because the specter of this topic has been threatening to hijack my posts for weeks now, so yeah.
