Happy Black Friday*

Should really be called White Friday because the snow that fell last night is sticking.

Cleaning and organizing continues; I was put on shredding duty today. It's 2012; why is there still so much paper coming through the mail?

Just now, a powerful compulsion overcame me to cook. I have issued a challenge to myself: for as long as I can, I will only fix meals with whatever is in the house already. No new food will be purchased. When we're down to toothpaste sandwiches on stale bread, I'll go food shopping again.
