Apparently John and I have different senses of urgency when faced with a pending blizzard...

I have a list (still haven't gotten to the store):
- Adhesive and anything scrappy - for scrapbooking the weekend away
- Redbox rental - movies for when I'm tired of scrapbooking
- Snacks - for scrapbooking and watching movies :)
- Pick up photos

John's list (already done):
- Extra propane for grill (in case power goes out)
- Firewood for fireplace (in case power goes out)
- Extra gas for snowblower

I wonder if I could trade some scrapbooking adhesive for firewood?!?!?!
