Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Suzi, if you're around, the Living Social deal of the day is for the International Spy Museum here in DC, which CJ might be interested in. Double check the blackout dates!

I second Sparky's rec. It's really fun, but expensive. He will enjoy it.

Ohhhhh...I signed up for DC Groupons, but forgot to do Living Social. I will go check it out - sounds like fun!

I really need to lock down my dates for that trip. Can't wait to get out to DC in March.

Ok, I made it through and the rockets were really fun. Worthwhile. Now food and home and crash out.

Local folks on my friendslist are speculating as to when the public schools will re-open. My guess is Wednesday; others are guessing as late as NEXT MONDAY. Because, basically, we have to wait for the snow to melt, having no tools to deal with it, and there is very little above-freezing weather in the forecast. But, I will be so tired of my children by Wednesday, let alone next week. Please melt, snow.

Oh, flea. I still shudder when I remember being home during the snowstorms last year with the baby and the dog and my DH in Vienna, telling me via Skype how he talked to people and ate in restaurants . . .

I really need to lock down my dates for that trip.

Yes! I sent you an email yesterday b/c my niece wants to visit, too.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

My ear is plugged up and won't clear out. I feel like swatting at it like a confused cat.

I feel your pain, Dana. Mine finally cleared on Wednesday (five days later!) but I'm still all congested and so on.

I am trying to convince a friend that she really wants to go on vacation with me to Mexico, and rent a house for a week. And get a bunch of our other friends to come with. I am dreaming big.
