I wonder how a drive- thru would do there. I WILL miss them!  :-\\\\

i reckon a drive-through would do well... there are certainly plenty of folk using the McD & KFC drive-throughs.
And TBH, the main thing that stops me going to Starbucks on a regular basis is because of the hassle getting a place to park the car.
I'd certainly use a drive-through Starbucks!

Not only having an unexpected day off, but finding that House of Frasier/Debenhams/WHSmiths were having a 10% off day and getting started on my Christmas shopping.   :)

Snow! Normally I am a freak about not wanting to drive in it, but it's so pretty and clean looking I am just loving it.  ;D

LOL no thanks, though what a nice offer haha. Another reason I love the snow even more is because I have an awesome neighbor that often snow blows for me. I call him the snow removal fairy. It's especially great because I have a big corner lot with way too much sidewalk!!!! He rocks, cheers to awesome neighbors!  :D

I do consider myself lucky, though today my son and I shoveled and looks like could be doing it again later. It wasn't bad at all, and good exercise. It's not that cold and the nice, light snow. No good for snow balls or snow men though!

Today's unexpected pleasure was buying Santa hats for my eight year old and me, and giggling at how silly we look  ;D

Discovering all of the Christmas tree lights still work from last year!
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
