Like getting ready for vacation, only not.

I've been cleaning for days, so the house will be spotless.  I've been cooking like crazy, so that I've got easily accessible meals.  Wireless Internet, DVD player and PVR are arranged for the bedroom.  There's a huge pile of books, waiting to be read.  I'm contemplating taking up beading jewelry again.

I worked my last day today for  the next nine weeks.
If we don't get another dump of snow between now & Thursday, I won't have to shovel again until fall.

As an aside, if you enjoy messing with your dogs' heads, try passing their leash over to a friend.  The 6 of us (2 people and four dogs) have walked together regularly for a few years,  but getting Tallulah used to walking while my friend Jen is holding her leash has been hilarious.

Tonight I made the frame for an ottoman, and hope to upholster it tomorrow.  (I'm guessing that reclining chairs are a little hard on recovering stomach muscles.)

The granny panties have not yet been acquired.

If you were going to be stuck inside your house for a minimum of 3-4 weeks, what would you do to prepare?
