Hey there, story-lovers,
Yes, I know that this post was supposed to be published since last Fri, but with my Super Bowl giveaway winding down and my blood pressure concerns, I had to hold off for a bit whilst focusing on getting as many giveaway entries as possible.
So - how's the weather in your part of the woods? Over the past few months, it seems as if the world - at least in these parts - is re-entering the Ice Age! Yes, we all love winter, but come on!
Heating bills are through the roof (that's assuming that the darn thing is even working properly), flu is worse than it's been in years (with the probable resurgence of H1N1), countless schools and businesses closed down because noone can get there, productivity losses... the fallout seems never-ending.
But there is one silver lining - more family time. With everyone cooped up indoors, it's like an extended holiday season - minus the Christmas tree and decorations, of course. More time to talk, play, laugh, help each other out and yes, get on each other's nerves!
It can be a real blessing in disguise, especially if you have kids who'll soon be leaving the nest for good.
So try not to look on this unforeseen mishap as a humbug or unwelcome setback... rather, think of it as an unexpected opportunity to reconnect with family and friends, complete all of those indoor chores and tasks that you've been putting off and basically to take that well-deserved vacation without reducing your annual quota.
I'd like to know what your winter season has been like so far. Simply comment on this post with things like:
- What have you and your family done to pass the time on days like this?
- How did you survive each other's company for so long?
- Did it get so cold that you had to supplement your household heating?
- How many days of school or work did you lose?
- Where is your neck of the woods?
Do this for me and you never know, proceeds from my next fund-raiser just might go towards a giveaway for the respondents, or maybe I'll send 5 bucks to each respondent!
Don't worry, there aren't that many of you yet, so I think I can swing the dough ;)

Well, that's about it for now. Until next time, stay warm and healthy.
