Rehash

While I was off from work this past week it was actually a good thing that we didn’t have a trip planned. (Yeah I just did say that!)

I was considering a weekend away and then considered just going away with Lucas for a few days. I ended up getting sick and feeling like crap for a week now so any travel would’ve been a bad move.

I had a busy week filling out Kim’s entries for IHG Priceless Surprises. Mail-in entries needed to be postmarked by February 14.

Now we’ll wait to see how long it takes to start receiving the Priceless Surprises e-mails.
