umbran and I thought we were prepared. We have batteries and lamp oil and paper goods, and milk and bread and eggs, and butter and flour and sugar for baking, and gallons of chili. I have crafty projects to work on. We have power, thank goodness, and there's a Walking Dead marathon on, and if we lose power there are books and blankets. We have everything we need. Except....
Except....
We are out of chocolate chips.
How the hell did I wind up snowed in, in a blizzard, with no chocolate chips? How am I supposed to bribe Awesome Snowblowing Neighbor without chocolate chip cookies?
Okay, we have milk chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips, and cinnamon chips. And there's always the thought of snickerdoodles. And I should just get to work baking bread, too, since my Even More Awesome Than The Neighbor Husband is about to go shovel.
But still. This is a tragedy, and a deep failure of planning on my part....
