It makes me nervous, except that I LIKE moving so I am all for that part of it. I just am desperately hoping we don't end up buying a money pit.

Oh winter revel weekend... the highs: hanging out with friends, dumplings at feast, electric blanket for bed, seeing the Tiptons, laughing. The lows: having to get my car towed out of snow twice, Chris making B unhappy, freezing cold weather, driving home in a snow storm, no cookies for anyone, being really tired today.

I don't have to go to work tomorrow!!!! The V.P. says we can have a snow day. That means I only had to work three days this week!
