Hey Gina, thanks for the link!
We woke up to snow on the ground today - just about an inch, but it did stay around. Our first of this season. Tomorrow is supposed to be a mess of rain, sleet and snow - not fun.
Speaking of Explorers, I had mine towed to the garage today - found out that the gas line had corroded through! The guy told me I was lucky that is wouldn't start! I need to get it fixed up just enough to try to sell it. I've had it 13 years (!), and I'm hoping someone would want it as a plow vehicle. I'm also trying to sell my Sable -yes, I have 3 vehicles right now! Our driveway looks like a used car lot - I won't even mention how many Pete has! Wish my luck in selling my two - it would be a real relief to have them gone.
I'll share something with you that I'm a bit embarrassed about right now. Pete's brother is an insurance salesman. I decided to get some life insurance now that I'm married, and so I talked to him about a policy. One of the questions he asked me about was my weight, and, of course, I lied. I thought that was ok, as it put in just the "non smoker" category, as opposed to something better. But, after I had already signed the paperwork, I found out that there are worse categories, and I am right on the line for the next in terms of weight. Had I known this, I would have waited a few weeks to do the policy. This could possibly cost me an extra $250/year, and I can't get reassessed for 2 years. This really sucks because I've only been this high for the past 2-3 weeks or so, and now I'm in this bind. It would be no big deal if the insurance guy was a stranger - I'd just explain the situation and would cancel for now. But I'm mortified to have to have Pete's brother know about how much I weigh.....
I guess I just have to swallow my pride, tell him, and put off doing the policy if I can - I don't want to pay that extra money just because of my sloppy eating since the honeymoon.
Unless any of you have any suggestions for a way to drop 5# of water quickly so I can make the weigh in Tuesday morning.... Not a smart thing to do, I know, but I'm feeling pretty stupid and desperate about this....
