Lovely

Two fires in the fireplace. Kitty is impressed by the cozy.

Today I got a few upvotes for my remarkably witty comeback, "Your butt is a mind-control device".... felt like a Reddit hero.

In other news, I've been sick for over a week and my husband says I've never looked or sounded hotter.

Went shopping at Bi-Mart tonight. My life will never be the same.

Bringing Home Lee-Lee

After our marathon of driving from our house to Salt Lake City in ONE FREAKING DAY - with some pretty significant snow on the ground starting in Mountain Home, Idaho (one of our stops) - we stopped at the hotel in Ogden and checked in, got our room key, and headed to Salt Lake to wait at the bus station.

It was after midnight. I waited in the car while Brennan met her bus. Pretty soon, here they came, holding hands.

We drove back to Ogden, fell asleep around 1:30 AM, and slept till around 8:00. I woke up, showered, and woke the two of them. It was going to be a monstrous day of driving and I was eager to get it started, so we'd have time to stop for naps.

I was the chauffeur. Among other places, we stopped at Taco Bell in Ontario, Oregon, for lunch - they ate in the restaurant, I ate in the car and then napped.

We made it home around 8 PM. I was never so grateful to see my bed.

So glad she's home.

Birthday Dinner

Today is Mel's birthday, and we met her and her boys at the Izzy's in Hazel Dell. We stuffed our faces with pizza buffet items and a lovely time was had by all.
