It is so cold!!
Seriously- the temps dropped and I can't seem to get warm. Yesterday, the sun didn't come out until dinnertime but it wasn't rainy. I drove to BFFs and we huddled in our sweats while we caught up with each other. We hope to get at least one more pool day in before the summer is over cuz no way we were going in when it was only 70*
I packed my bathing suit just in case it warmed up. As I walked to my car, it was much colder outside than it was inside my house and I went back to grab a pair of long sweatpants. I was LMBO that I had both extra pants and a bathing suit and shorts in my bag. Who can predict anything at this point, right?
On my way home, I was going to stop at the Dollar Store to look for decorations for the Cabin. It's about a half hour from my house and I can either stay on the highway and drive past it or I can get off a few miles before and take some of the backroads to get into my town. I decided to get off the highway early- people were driving so dang stupidly, much more than usual, and I wanted to be far away from it all. There is an interchange near BFFs where three main highways connect, Rts 80/46/ and 23. It is difficult to navigate, and there is always at least one car that cuts another off to get into the correct lane before it splits off to a different highway and direction.
I don't know what was going on yesterday because it was utter madness getting through it. People were in the wrong lane and shot across several lanes, while others were actually on the wrong exit ramp and swung back out. No one was merging or letting anyone in. Just random cars going everywhere. Amazing time that no one got hit (at least as I was driving through). At that point, I still wanted to go to the dollar store-- I mean, I would be *right there* -- but people were still driving without rhyme or reason. If they had their eyes closed, they might have done better! I decided it was in my, and my car's, best interest to get off the highway as soon as possible. You know what that meant, though. As soon as I got onto the single lane country road, I was stuck behind a pickup going about 5 MPH under the speed limit the entire time. You know what? That was F.I.N.E. - FINE!!!!

NJ drivers had a terrible reputation and yesterday was a shining example.
Scott came for dinner last night and we played a game called Business Walrus. It's like Shark Tank in a way. We get cards that tell us what we have to include in our product pitch and we take turns pitching it to the Business Walrus, who asks us questions about the product we made up. One of my cards was "Must Include a Toy Inside," and the topic was to create an innovative hair product. So I "invented" hair extensions that included a toy inside each braid. Then we had to make a graph or chart to "sell" it to the Walrus (Gary was the Walrus that turn). My kids are so good at coming up with ideas and answering the questions about them on the fly.
It had been a long time since we had a family game night. ♥
Plans for today-- not a clue. It's gorgeous outside, chilly but sunny, and I'd love to get some Dirt Therapy in. My house is also pretty messy in places, with no AC needed, it is a good day to vacuum.
Have a fantastic day and weekend!
