That qualifies as not onerous. Love kids. E came over tonight to borrow baking supplies (which is ironic) and totally spoiled my cats and I reiterated that she can send the kids (esp Gwyn, who loves cats) over anytime. I think she still doesn't believe I'm serious. I've emergency sat for them and I'm their goto for that now, so it isn't as if she doesn't trust me. But I gave her cookies she didn't have to share, so maybe she'll believe me now...
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
My mother says that most people get their cars washed once a week. I have no idea -- I've been getting mine washed usually twice a week lately, because the salt and sand from the roads builds up on the windows so much that I can barely see through them if I let it go any longer than that, but during the summer and fall, I'd get it washed maybe once or twice a month.
BWAHAHAHAHA! Once a week? I'm sure your mom is wonderful, but that is crazy talk.
I wash mine maybe twice a year? In the spring and then sometime in the summer. I shovel out the inside maybe 4-5 times a year.
I resent the time I spend gassing it up and getting the oil changed, much less cleaning it. I focus on cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry, and that takes up enough time.
God, I am beat. I fell asleep at about 11:30 and woke up at about 3 am with horrible stomach pain and some GI distress, to put it politely. I never wake up to pee or whatever once I am asleep. I couldn't fall back asleep til 4:30 or so, and then DH's alarm goes off at 5, so it was all patchy "God, let me just get 5 more minutes" nappage until 5:45.

Did DCistas all get home safely? I am currently in Silver Spring, after a three-hour stint in traffic. Luckily a friend of a friend lived nearby and offered to put me up.

8" on my deck. And that's AFTER 2-3" compressed under sleet and rain. Oooohkay.

Yeah, Maria's got a raw deal.

Punishingly Intricate
It took a friend of a friend 4 hours to get 7 miles. The local news is saying people are preparing to sleep in their cars on 83 (the highway that runs north-south from the beltway into bmore). It's been closed for hours after a tractor trailer jacknifed on it.
I am VERY happy I was able to leave work early this afternoon.
