snowed in

Mr. Doodlebug went to DC yesterday for work and baby Doodle and I were on our own for the night. Luckily, I went grocery shopping for the fantastic dinner I'm making for Valentine's Day yesterday. I've already made the bittersweet chocolate mousse cake. It's chilling in the refrigerator. And the beets are roasting in the oven as I type.

Baby Doodle and I are both sick. This is the worst cold I've had in a while. My glands are swollen, my throat hurts, I can't breathe through my nose, and I'm achy. Maybe I have the flu. Baby Doodle has a cold, too, which makes things a little harder. He's in pretty good spirits today.

It snowed about three inches last night and then sleeted. There is a layer of ice over the snow so we're not planning to go out at all today. Hopefully, Mr. Doodlebug will make it home from DC without incident.

Happy Valentine's Day.
