Okay, since my birthday is next Monday (I promise to remind you every day), I am going with such an original top ten list (sarcasm implied): What I want for my birthday. (BTW: if I link to something on Amazon, it has an affiliate link.) Some of these are …

Yesterday was Free Cone Day at Ben and Jerry’s. Our family made sure to be there for our free ice cream. We went last year and it will probably become a family tradition.
When I was taking the kids downtown (with visions of ice cream in my head), Damon called to …

So, we all left the house today, despite the frigid temperatures. (According to my weather widget, we are one degree above freezing right now.) We had to gather some things for a project of Damon’s, and then there was the trip to Wal-Mart where we returned things and bought things.

We got back from our last trip late Saturday night. And now I am packing again for my trip to Orlando.
