I just got back from Leadership, so I don't get to take a vacation for a while. And it's my chance to get some things done around the house without him peering over my shoulder.

I hear you. It was kind of nice when my husband went on business trips for a few days and I couldn't go -- you get more done, for sure!

Doing WHAT over your shoulder? :eek: Oh, peering. Never mind.

It's so cold here that at every stoplight, I have to get out of the car and break the exhaust off my tailpipe so the guy behind me can see my brake lights.
 
It's so cold here, I had to stop eating with metal cutlery and switch to plastic...

Somehow, I knew you were gonna go there, KG. :)

So here I am, getting ready to head back out in the cold to go to Costco and the grocery store. Maybe a trip to Ikea.
