I am so excited that today is Groundhog Day.  After seeing that movie so many times, I'm always hopeful that this day will be the one day of the whole year that is unlike anyother.

I want to talk about something today that maybe taboo, but I'm going to put it out there.  I want to talk about toilet paper.  Like most people, I have come to know how long a certain amount of toilet paper will last and "budget" accordingly.  Now that I "work from home", I am going through an insane amount of toilet paper.  It's crazy.  I had no idea how much going to work was saving me in TP.  I guess the only solution is to make an effort to go the bathroom everytime I leave the house.  This of course
 is going to subject me to many, many public bathrooms.  Which means I may need to up my use of hand sanitizer.  So then I'm going to have weigh out the difference in price between hand sanitizer versus the extra toilet paper.    
I have big plans for today.  I am meeting a friend this morning and then this afternoon, I'm going to Gilda's to help prepare dinner family night.  I have to say, that is one of my favorite things I do.  Every Tuesday, this Gilda's club makes dinner for about 40-50 people who are affected by cancer ( either they have it or a loved one does) before they go to their support groups.  They are always so genuinely grateful for dinner.  Being there always puts things in prospective.  It reminds you that things could always be worse.  If you have a chance, read Gilda's book, "It's always something."  It's quite a story.
