I know in our house we could easily live on whatever is there for about a week without shopping at all. It's part of my hoarding mentality when I go shopping for groceries. "Hmmm, wonder if we need tuna fish? Oh well, can't have too many cans of tuna fish." Um, yes, you probably can. I sympathize with your boredom. I'm holed up in my house while it does a combination sleet/rain thing outside on top of the two feet of snow that is still there. Ugh. I hate winter.Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-87386814500567608542011-01-14T19:50:49.896-05:002011-01-14T19:50:49.896-05:00no halfandhalfdrivers? so sad. how much can a gal...no halfandhalfdrivers? so sad. how much can a gal take?Sandy Underpantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02984008273080702795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-49840051701500847922011-01-13T22:05:03.408-05:002011-01-13T22:05:03.408-05:00A few years in the Pacific NW taught me that I am ...A few years in the Pacific NW taught me that I am not made to live in snow.
