QotD: I Dunno, Where Do You Want To Go?
When you go out to eat, how do you pick where to go?
Submitted by Kristine.
Scott: "Where do you want to eat tonight?"
Me: "Ahhhh, I dunno. What sounds good to you?"
(Translation: How about you make a bunch of suggestions and I'll shoot them all down?)
It's amazing how land mine-infested this simple decision can be! Especially if we're actually hungry by the time we've arrived at this point. Munching on protein bars while discussing the problem is usually well advised.
It's all much easier when we're taking the kids out to eat. Then it's all about affordability!!
Vox Hunt: Shhh!
Book: Show us a book that made you laugh out loud.
Submitted by Red Pen.
Overall, not on my list of favorite books ever – and ultimately the story is quite sad – but there are passages in this book that had me laughing nearly to the point of tears. And then I'd read them out loud to Scott and we'd both be cracking up. Fun memory! (The movie really couldn't do any justice to this, so I found it disappointing in that way.)
QotD: Dude, where are my keys?
What's the story behind a time when you got locked out?
It was a balmy 50F day in January 1991. The place: a Columbus, Ohio car wash. The car wash line: VERY LONG.
So I'm getting my car ('89 Ford Festiva) washed – de-salinized, if you will – like every other Midwestern car-owner does on a beautiful winter day. Everything is going swimmingly until it's time to go and I notice that the roller brush thing is still resting on top of my car.
I get out to investigate and automatically – ack! – lock the door behind me. Keys? In the ignition. Vehicle running… and locked up tight.
Had to call a locksmith. And endure the glares of everyone waiting in line for the carwash.
(Yeesh, apparently I've always been an airhead… !)

Who or what do you really love?
Since it goes without saying that I love, love, love my family and friends. (But there I said it anyway for the official Valentine's Day record.
So I thought I would talk today about something else I really love:
I love Phoenix in February!!
(And most all the other winter months here, too.)
In my Hometown, Ohio right now it is 18F (feels like 9F) and a projected high of 22. It looks something like this:
Here in Phoenix it is currently 52F with a projected high of 66. Brr. A little chilly. A photo from a South Mountain hike last January:
I'm so glad I moved here! All this gorgeous sunshine AND the love of my life.
