Yesterday every soul in Northern Virginia went to the store for bread, milk, and apparently, ground beef. I hear there was none to be found. Elijah and I scored a couple of snow shovels in the mad rush that was Lowe's. People were literally snatching the shovels out of employees' hands as they were being unpacked (the shovels, not the employees). It was like Tickle-Me-Elmo all over again. So here we are, all snug in our warm house with a cheery fire in the woodstove, having enjoyed a pot of soup and homemade bread for dinner. I'm in denial about the amount we're getting until tomorrow.
