We were only level 2 in Franklin County but I am so close to the Delaware County line the closest real stores are in Delaware County. I emailed Elaine something about sneaking up to Polaris in the afternoon and she wrote me that lots of the stores would be closed. Duh! Turned out I was too chicken anyway until the snow plow came through... seeing one Camry stuck in the street was enough for me... also saw a van and assorted other cars stuck on the 13th and the 14th. We never thought to call ahead before heading to Yanni's on Cleveland Ave. for Greek... driving over to Hoggy's (Mark has an SUV, we stopped to try and help a lady who was stuck trying to get into her driveway... she declined the help and was going in to get her husband.... poor fella... Mark said her car sat about like mine does...) anyway...Driving from Yanni's to Hoggy's I started noticing a lot of Polaris Town Center was closed... I could not tell about THE MALL... most of the restaurants on outlots seemed to be open... Mimi's lot was too full... so we went to Hoggy's not a big Valentines Day destination but hey pigs are cute and pink aren't they? At least in cartoons they are. Thanks for the comment... next holiday... Chinese New Year... followed close by Presidents Day... with Mardi Gras nipping at it's heals. Come to our office Mardi Gras party Tuesday night Toby!! I am the queen I should be able to invite someone. Bring Gretchen. Taking level three to heart… sounds like a good blog headline for Valentine’s Day 2007 in Delaware County Toby.

I did an improvised sirloin steak with the fixings. Improvised because I love to grill ... but not in a snow-drift. We were going to go out for dinner last night, but it was almost impossible to find a place open in Delaware. I guess these people actually take a level 3 to heart.

I've been to the original now defunct Hoggy's in Worthington and one in Gahanna but never the one at Polaris. It was a weird Valentine's Day, I feel sorry for the places that lost a lot of business on the 13th because of the snow and ice.

I was able to take my lovely Valentine out to dinner tonight and all restaurants were packed. Instead of waiting 45 minutes for a table, we actually sat and ate at the bar, which was actually kind of fun. Our babysitter offered to watch the kids last night instead. She says that only the "amateurs" actually try and go out for dinner on Valentine's day. She says that the real "pros" always go out the night before. :-) Dear Maureen,
