if that...
How about my husband went back to work and had hunger pains and got light headed because he was waiting until lunch to eat, instead of what we did when we were snowed in - eat every hour on the hour...
i'm so ready for normalcy!
Libby,
Keep "editorializing" (my term). You deserve to do that any time!!
It's my opinion and oughta be yours. :-)
