Late as usual but by way of a weekly wrap up....... the radiator guy finally made it out today to bleed the lines. When he turned the water back on to the previously frozen zone we learned that there had not been one break in the pipes but several. Water removal and plumbing repair to include tearing out walls and floors and is in our very near future. Heat in that zone appears to be somewhere further down the road. That's ok. There was no earthquake here this week. It could be worse.

Mittens (cat) and I are locked in a battle of wills over the final residence of her litter of kittens. She is determined that it should be under my bed. Husband disagrees with her vehemently.

Good news: I am not allergic to Lindt 70% dark chocolate
Bad news: Lindt 70% dark chocolate tastes rather like dollar store Easter bunnies.

Time it takes to purchase a vehicle - approximately five hours. Bring chocolate, even Lindt.

Did a very scary thing this week. On purpose. It is so NOT scary for most normal people I won't even share it here. Just send a virtual high five if you are feeling congratulatory. : ) It was big step for me.

Broke down and got a Facebook account. I really don't love Facebook. It's not pretty at all. However I missed all my friends terribly and decided if you can't beat 'em you can join 'em.

Best for last: A certain little person is more potty trained than not at this writing. I am REALLY glad we don't have carpet though. That's all I am sayin'.
These were a fun read -- thanks for participating!
Let us know how it goes with #6. I'm still holding out, but they're wearing me down. :)
Have a great weekend!

Have you tried chocolate without artifical vanilla? Lindt usually has vanillin but maybe the dark choc doesn't. Ghiridelli's uses real vanilla. Many people are alergic to the vanillin and think it is the choc.
Here's hoping anyway.

It's actually the corn (syrup) that is the problem though it seems to be getting better. Most vanilla extracts have corn. Though like I said its improving so if there is no OTHER corn syrup in the item I seem to be able to have it. I test with trepidation, since I am not sure what will happen, but chocolate is a powerful motivator!

Virtual high five for you, Kim!
And I hear you on the facebook thing. I actually got an account because my PARENTS had accounts. I seriously check it only if I get an email that tells me something happened- like a message for me or something.
