Tip #2

Don't leave your freezer door open when you leave for vacation. Apparently I did this just before leaving for New York (I can't even blame it on Kirk because I don't think he's ever been in the freezer...). Kirk did, however, discover the mess when we got home. It's one of those small freezers above the refrigerator and I'm amazed that we didn't have water and/or ice everywhere. Instead the whole freezer space is one big mass of ice. My plan is to start chipping away at it tonight so that I can get all the "frozen foods" into the trash for tomorrow.
