Default Floridians - How do you cope with cold fronts?

I'm curious to hear how other Floridians deal with cold fronts.

I let my plants stay outside when the temperatures drop as low as 60 Degrees Fahrenheit. When things get colder than that, I bring everything in, and I don't put anything back outside until the following day, when the temperatures come back up.

While this is a labor of love, it can also be a bit cumbersome. I love having my plants grace my living room and bathroom, but I can't leave them in there forever. They get used to the shade, so when I put them back outside, I risk burning them unless I take a week to re-acclimatize them. I also lose buds this way, and set back plants that were just about to bloom.

And don't get me started on the stowaways (yes palmetto bugs, I'm talking about you).
