"and rarely do I start mean with you"
what do you mean? I don't understand what you are saying...
OH - I keep forgetting to tell you, the door from the garage to the house was wide open when I got home. The garage door itself was closed, so not too much of a biggie - the stairway to the basement is much colder than it had been
I am actually hoping that you left in a huge rush & just didn't go back to shut the door - otherwise I will be freaked out all night that there is someone in the basement or something!
