  3. If you still have any Peeps left over - now's the time to use them in your hot chocolate. I'm thankful I saved a couple!!

  4. I enjoy cake frosting on saltine crackers, myself. Salty and sweet. The perfect combination.

    Fully agreeing with books on cd. They make my work commute a hundred times less painful every day.
