Can you say cold? We have had arctic cold here. We had snow, then rain, now it's all frozen. Very pretty but it's a hoot seeing the dogs try to manage it. Now I open the door, they look out and turn around. I had my cookunity pancakes with diced apples and maple mascarpone for breakfast. It was as good as it sounds!! $5.99 can't beat that. Last night I had Casio e Pepe, spaghetti with a creamy Parmesan sauce and black pepper, for $12 well worth it. Tomorrow 3 of the dogs are going to the groomer. They are overdue!! Tasha doesn't require grooming. Other than that, we dropped off all our paperwork at the accountant so we can all get our taxes done. Went shopping at home goods, got some bagels at Reins Deli and went to lunch with my best friend. Our contractor is coming today to fix a leak we have had for the last month in my bathroom sink. We have shut off the water and I keep a pitcher of water in the vanity. I told Kasey not to worry about it. I have lived with worse conditions. The toilet and the shower are both fine. That's about it from frigid Ct.

I'm so glad to see you here. It's been a long time. How have you been? Yeah, faucet leaks are a pain in the neck.

@Tampa_girl7 I think most people do. I didn't grow up on them, since my mom was French we had crepes for breakfast but I only make them once in a while.

I need cold in order to sleep, I would be miserable. Yes it is a small inconvenience but our contractor will be here as soon as he has time and it will be a lot cheaper than a plumber.

We have been spoiled here in Connecticut by a few years of mild winters. We are paying the price this year.

It does sound awfully cold there! We got a little snow today along with some ice, still falling some. Maybe it won't get too bad, I'm thankful we don't have to go out. That's a beautiful photo!

Hope the leak gets fixed but in the big scheme of things it would be worse, as you say.
