Another Unofficial Chatterbox Thread- Everyone is Welcome!

Another lovely 80 degree day here. I've been driving the convertible the last couple of days....

DH rototilled my garden spot. Today he's getting a load of compost and chicken manure to boost it up a bit. So this afternoon I can plant my cold weather crops (danger of frost not over until mid May). So I got cabbage, cucumbers, potatoes, onions, lettuce and carrots.

You know I've always been confused by lettuce...why can you not freeze it after it's cut, yet it's considered a cold weather crop and frost will not ruin it when it's growing?? Go Figure!

80 degrees feels yucky to me but it sure beats today's weather...it's 98 degrees here!

I can't stand the summer weather.

BOO SUMMER!!

I ate Tommy's for lunch today. I don't go there often but they have the quickest drive-thru service. I got a chili cheese dog with fries. Yummy! My co-workers smelled the chili and one of them thought that it was someone's cologne or perfume. She turns the corner and sees I'm eating a chili dog and says: "Oh thank God! I'm glad that chili smell is coming from your food and not a person's B.O.!"

Hi everyone! I've been super busy and had a lot going on lately but hopfully I'll be able to DIS more soon. Miss you guys!

 

[sameyeyam]

Sure, you're just made because Chad's behind in points.

Ok - I change my vote....move us back (j/k)

I already have dreams about disneyland, I really really really want to go back, and now I am sitting here reading the dl boards!!! I can't handle this kind of stress!!!

I am so right there with you! For some reason its all we talk about..Our next trip. Which is totally almost a year away!

 

[funnygarcia]

Darn I guess I didn't get a forwarding adress notice from the DIS post office
Took a bit of searching until I see MOVED.. ohhhhhh okay duh!

Did anything get lost in the move? We seem to lose at least one box on every move.. no idea how.. it just happens.

This move was all of my aprons (don't laugh, I use aprons because I am horribly messy when cooking. Less stain treatment needed on laundry day).

And my oh so carefully completed address/birthday book became lost just weeks after we arrived. Swore it was in the car.. nope.. GONE!

awwww, you even have the ticker installed for their first trip.

Not sure what will happen next year, plan to tackle a degree. Depends on my spring break and the cash flow issue.

We do want to pay down more of our debt (HUGE chunk gone thanks to refund this year) and possibly buy a house.

The house thing might be hassle - we don't want to chance not getting a spot in our current district (it's the reason WHY we live here!), but homes in this area cost more than we want to shell out in mortgage payment. Trying to keep it low due to Eloy's ever changing health and lack of tenure.

We could easily find an inexpensive foreclosed home in my sister's neighborhood.. but the district SUCKS!

We have open enrollment in MN, but it's no guarentee of a spot.

I did some researching, we qualify for Habitat for Humanity, Teacher Next Door HUD program (but only in Minneapolis) and some closing cost assistance programs aimed at Latinos. It's good to be a poorly paid teacher

Started out cool, warmed to 65. Was still nice in the evening to run across the street to the conveneince store wearing capris, short sleeves and crocs.

Much better than the cold, rain and blowing wind for the past few days. brrrrrr, almost wanted my winter coat.. but couldn't force myself to admit it was that cold

Lovely, warm.. but windy and rain. We are so screwy this time of year.

Yeah, but I don't think you would like the 30 below windchills or the foot of snow in an hour winters.
Not to mention our 70% humidity in the summer

 

[funnygarcia]

Our summer humidity is nasty when the temps are in the 80 to 90's, we wish for some good thunderstorms to come thru and cool it off. Which leads us to tornado dangers, though living in the city the risk is much smaller for a tornado to hit. The storms usually blow thru and only are truly nasty to the south of us.
