Five for Friday

1.  First things first.  I'd like to apologize to the woman I was mean to yesterday.  You see, we'd just disembarked from a 24 hour road trip (16 driving, 8 sleeping).  When we pulled onto our road and saw her car in our too-small driveway, our feelings about idiot drivers and snow-covered interstates may have impaired my good judgement.  I believe, when she did pull up 10 minutes later and say "That's mine", I said something along the lines of "Are you GOING TO MOVE IT?".  I'm sorry.  And she said she told the neighbors she had to park it there because it wouldn't make the hill.
However, my first reaction is not to go to the neighbors to ask about it.  I'd assume they'd tell me, "Uh, it's not my driveway…"
My first reaction is to check for notes on the car and the front door.  A note would've done wonders.
Anyway, my fault.  It was not nice.  It was not Christian-like.  I'm sorry.

2.  Second.  We left Pennsylvania at 1pm on Wednesday.  We had intentions of driving through the night and we really could've done it, but a snowstorm side-lined us into a Super 8 in Illinois.  It wasn't just snow.  It was ice.

Scout really hated us after a day and a half in the car.  He thought proper revenge would be eating my sunglasses.

3.  Scott got me my purse for Christmas.  He ended up picking "Cinnabar" because they were out of black.  What do you think?  He said, "Return it and get black", but I don't know.  I kinda like it.  (The PX had the purse MUCH cheaper than the retail price.)

He also got us a new coffee grinder.

4.  I received 3 blankets and 3 frothers, as per my list.  No complaints here.

5.  I'm embarking on a January photo-a-day challenge.  I think I got all of December, except the last day.  Sometimes I think, "hey, this would be perfect to take a picture of for today" but then I don't want to reach for my phone.  Oh well.  

Happy weekend!  I hear we're getting more snow.  

I'm sure Missouri's worst drivers will be out in full-force.
