No, nothing juicy, just an update.
1. Vacation is less than 3 weeks away.
MIL is coming to stay with cats because, a) she really wants to be useful in her retirement, and b) our usual cat sitter is out of the country during that time. My dad and neighbor could have done the cat sitting, but as I said, MIL wants to be useful. She'll bring her black lab, so the cats will be stressed, but they'll be happier WITH someone there than alone for that long. Now, I'm kind of weirded out by MIL being alone in our house for a week. I'm wondering if there's anything I should hide.
2. We had to buy an $1800 snowblower attachment for our lawn tractor because the snow was just too much for our plow blade. Not money I wanted to spend before the cruise. However, it makes plowing SOOOOO much easier and faster!
3. I'm working out and watching my diet. I've dropped 3 pounds in the last three weeks, which isn't great, but I need to get back in control. I stopped working out during last semester and paid for it with about 6-8 lbs.
4. I'm on two back-to-back business trips later this week. First to the Hershey, PA area, then to Lincoln, NE. Woo. The good news is that it makes time go faster and vacation will be here before I know it!
5. We lit up the new smoker yesterday. It's quite fancy, because that's how I roll. We smoked trout, salmon & ribs. Yum!
6. I'm posting a questionaire about things in your house/apartment on OT today. If you haven't been to OT in awhile, come play.

1. Hide the porn!
2. Could you come and plow my apartment lot? It's a mess and the guy who plows it isn't very good.
3. 3 pounds is better than nothing or gaining. Good for you!
4. Pick me up some chocolate while you're in Hershey! Thanks!
5. I'll have some ribs, please.
6. I played!
Picture your MIL walking around the joint with your underwear on her head. Could happen?
Where are you going? Did I miss that from before? Someplace awesome?
I played, as well.
You two get gold stars. *smooch*
We're going to Mexico on a cruise, MC. Ole'!
1. Bills and bedroom toys.
5. Yum!!
6. Ok.
My experience (from mother visiting) is you can't hide enough. I still suspect (though will never be able to prove nor would I call her on it) that she took the 2 bags of my kids baby teeth that disappeared when she visited once. On another visit she actually colour-sorted my sock drawer. What the heck was she doing even looking in there?
Good luck with #3 diet when you are heading off to #4 Hershey! We were in Hershey on New Year's Eve (day), one day before we both started diets. How silly is that? Check out the Big Cup Reese Peanut Butter Cups. If you like the regular ones, you will love the Big Cups.
(*waits for Bravie to comment on loving big cups*)
Happy travels!
OMG-now I must even hide the contents of my dresser drawers. Maybe I should go buy a mega pack of shite granny-panties.
My ILs always used to search the house when they were over and we were at work. They were quite thorough. I know because I went all paranoid and set up hidden things only I knew were there. A corner fold tucked under, a hair placed just so inside a drawer. Etc.
I decided I didn't care if they went through my underwear. I hope they found the sex toys, including the Kraken, lol serves them right. But I really disliked that they went through the desk drawers and looked at letters, financials, etc. Later, I would put some stuff like that in a locked box in the basement when they were over. And yes - they went through the basement too but never broke open any locked boxes. Stupid ILs!
How will MIL clear the snow?
Good for you on the diet stuff. I toured the Hershey's chocolate plant years ago and thought it was really fascinating.
Is this one of those bog outdoor smokers? Pass on OT.
My parents are sticklers for their kids having their privacy. I honestly think I would only have to put the toy box in the closet.
Hershey is only four hours away, I should come visit.
Yummy, now I want ribs.
Can you come plow our road please?
You obviously haven't found what I left there. I wonder if your MIL will. *grin*
Agree with Jen about the 3. Take it!
I would also like some ribs, but I'm not sure if they are allowed this month or not.
I see that you are making your way East more often these days. Perhaps one day . . .
Definitely hide things.
Do you fly into LAX for your Mexican cruise?
