Final stretch

Dear Blog - it's almost over. According to his flight's status, Craig is now over Canada and I will be picking him up from the airport in just a few short hours. When he gets home, he will be greeted by a stack of mail, the pile of laundry you saw in yesterday's post, a half dozen or so fewer beers and two dirty coffee thermoses.

The past couple of weeks have been interesting, and I've definitely learned a few things:

1. I really don't drink much beer, even when it is immediately at my disposal, chilled and in the fridge.
2. Leave it to Trader Joe's to ruin a perfectly good dark beer.
3. I way over planned in the food department - not sure how much I think I eat, but apparently, it's a lot.
4. My only food "emergency" was in the area of soy sauce - fortunately, we're pack rats and I found some packets of soy from a carryout order in our cupboards.
5. Heavy cream tastes good in coffee - forget the half and half.
6. Black bean burgers two days in a row is NOT a good idea...
7. I have plenty of clothes to last me a full two weeks, even without having to turn my underwear in side out.
8. Showering is optional as long as you have a package of baby wipes and ROCKAHOLIC dry shampoo in the house.
9. Tonight's day light savings time? Really?

With that, signing off for now - thanks for following! Stay tuned for my next blog topic (though it may be a while). Looking forward to French toast for breakfast in the morning. Maybe crab legs for dinner tonight?
