Road Trip in the Rain

Wish us luck.

Luck with the freezer -- we were dumb to have it delivered here.  What were we thinking?  Can we lift it? Will it fit in the car?  Unloading in the pouring rain.  Dang, I'd take a do-over on this decision.

Luck with fitting in one car.  Luck with an ugly, rainy drive.

I'm looking forward to being there though.  It's been a solid month for me and I miss it.  I think we'll stay until Sunday morning.  Driving and cleaning on the same day is hard on my back.  I'm excited to get it set for Christmas.  I'm glad we brought up the tree early -- just need to add a few ornaments and that's set.

Then I hit the baking and cooking ground running ahead of the next 2 weeks.  It's going to be a fun whirlwind.  Two weeks of holiday RUSH I can handle and actually enjoy (followed by doing nothing for a hot minute, of course).

I ate lunch at a new place yesterday -- pizza place with individual outdoor heated pods.  My friend noticed the pods and it worked well.  We kept the door flap open, but it was so much warmer than open air.  It ended up being about 40 degrees, overcast and windy.  That's a bit much for even me.  Nice that we know an option for the winter.  I had an apple and blue cheese salad -- really tasty.  Dressing had a bit of nutmeg so it tasted like the holidays.  The pizza looked great and they have a GF option (I think).  I'll have to give that a try.  Hubby and I are getting pizza takeout this weekend, so I passed this time.

Whole Foods was a success.  I only got fresh veggies for yesterday and frozen will carry me until the next store run.  They have a super good selection of vegan, vegetable frozen meals.  I'm using them this weekend so I don't need to go to the store in Asheville. 

Christmas gifts continue to arrive.  I'll take pictures at some point.  A few fun things.

Check-in this weekend is unlikely (unless hubby sleeps late).  Have a great weekend (!!)  Later gators.
