Happy Friday!

Hello, Company Girls and other friends!

In this my neck of the woods we're gearing up for SNOW. Granted, not as much snow as the areas to our south, but snow nonetheless. As I type this I'm hoping to be able to cut out of here early - it seems like many people are already sharing my thoughts and it's only 9:45 right now. We'll see...


I swear you'd think they were giving something away at the store. I only popped in to Whole Foods to grab a juice and muffin like I do on many mornings. Normally it's an in-and-out type of thing and I'm sitting at my desk 5 minutes later. Not today, oh no. I waited 15 minutes in the express line - the other lines were up through the aisles. At 8:30 in the morning! Insanity. I was told by a coworker who stopped at the nearby supermarket prior to coming in that there was almost no parking and not a cart to be had - and the folks who were using carts had them full to almost overflowing! Of course we're going to have to go through it after work, not because we're panicking but because we don't have anything in the house to eat! Yikes...


In other news, we visited Rob's dad last night and his mood seems to have improved greatly. He's still confused about time and about what's real and what's only something he dreamt about, but I'll take confusion any day as long as he's in good spirits. Oh, and we have at least an extra week as per the head nurse's guarantee to Rob the other day. She's certain they'll need to keep him for at least that much longer. What a blessing that is, especially since the weather is messing with our plans.


This weekend we'll be hunkering down. We'll be packing. We'll be cleaning. We'll be watching old episodes of Lost so I can catch up. I'll be cooking and taking pictures. And it'll be a good weekend.

I hope everyone else has a good one as well!

Oh, and since Rachel Anne suggested we post recipes today, here's a couple of posts involving my absolute favorites. Enjoy!
