With the Harsh Winds and Chilly Weather, it's A Great Day to Stay Indoors

I had plans to make bacon cheeseburgers today, but the chill in the air has made me rethink dinner.

It's A Chilly Day for Running Around, but Duty Calls

I have much catching up to do today. Time is of the essence, and the time has come to send out several Christmas packages to my family members who live in Boston, Dover, and Carson City if the gifts have any chance of making it in time for Christmas. I also need to pick up some lunch items, as well... Sign in to see full entry.
