My family may go hungry this weekend.

:P Just kidding!!!!

I'm putting off grocery shopping today due to high winds and low temps.

The wind is wicked and it feels like it's 16 degree's outside, due to the wind chill.

I went out early this morning (6:30 AM) and my car windows were frozen shut.

I told my son I'd go shopping today for Easter dinner but I think I'm going to wimp out! :P

We have enough to eat for today (he'll get lunch at work) and tonight, so I think

I'll wait until the wind dies down tomorrow. Do you think he'll buy my excuse? :P

Tough if he doesn't! :rofl: I'll clean out the fridge today to make room instead. ;)

Keep us posted about the housing arrangement you're thinking about. :-)

4. Hardy, ha, ha!

If anything, he can go find another place! He was supposed to buy food last night but instead
he came home with cold cuts and bread and milk and one roll of TP. That's just not going to cut
it. He hates grocery shopping and pawns it off on me all the time. We'll survive one more day! ;)

2. Someone named "breeze" stays in because of wind?

Not sure your excuse will fly.

3. LOL!

:P

Some of it is due to the wind (and fear of falling tree's) but mostly because it's wicked cold outside!

5. I live on the plains of Illinois

30mph winds are fairly common here. Drive carefully! :)

6. I used to live in Hersher, IL

:hi:

I hear you about the winds there and those 'dirt tornadoes'; dirt devils.

I'm not going to drive today, if I don't have to.

The store I want to go to is 3 towns away and there are lots of tree's between there and here.

It will wait. I just hope there's enough on sale food left when I get there.
