I miss shopping.
Never thought I'd say that. In general, I hate shopping. I do all my Christmas shopping early because I will not go near a store from just before Thanksgiving until 2 days after Christmas. I run to stores on my lunch hour so I can be in & out. I have been known to grocery shop at 6:30 in the morning just so I can get it done quickly and get out of the store. I won't even go within 2 miles of the mall on a Saturday because of the traffic. And yet, if I had been able to buy something today, I would have been tempted.
What I miss most is online shopping. I love ordering things & having packages arrive on my doorstep. When we found out today that our Indian spices order has been delayed--somehow going to Salt Lake instead of Boise--I was crushed. Andy offered to go out and leave a box on the front step for me, but it just isn't the same. By day 75 on the other hand, we might have to resort to that.
On another note, the steady stream of dead and live gifts from the cats continues. Today I walked into the laundry room and found this:
The last time Theo took to hanging out in the laundry room, he had turned a mouse loose in there and was hoping to recapture it. Not a good sign. We're saving the full-scale rodent-hunting for tomorrow. Don't we own cats to keep mice out of the house????

I have to say that I really admire you and Andy for following through with this expiriment. I too love to shop on the internet (I hate shopping in the mall) and would probably die without being able to buy something when the urge hits. Keep up the excellent work!
