Birthday week

Waiting in line for Costco to open can mean only one thing: it is "birthday week" here at the Lindsey home. Accordingly, I have spent significant time at all the usual places, such as Wal-Mart, Target, etc., and have not spent as much time with the computer.

The expression of someone who does not like to be confined:

It couldn't be helped. We had to sprint through the store to get everything done.
