Cranberry or Pineapple??

I kept debating after work whether I should get a pedicure or run. I decided I needed a break so I just came home and cleaned my house and got some things done that I hardly ever have time to do these days. Well, Cliff, my guy called me and we talked for awhile and I lost track of time. So, I glance at the clock and think I have 15 minutes to pick Aerial up and go to the meeting at the church. She's making her confirmation in May and there is a parents meeting at 8. So, I put my dress back on, get to the church and think to myself that it is still quite light outside, when I realize that I am an hour early. Had time to get back home and finish mopping and I still have 15 minutes.

He told me tonight he is cooking Chicken Marsala's and grilled asparagus! Yum.

Yum! That sounds really good.

Quick fly by. Work is so busy uggghhh 3 more weeks.

Yes, I've talked to my boo. We've talked everyday this week and he invited me over to his house Friday night. He's cooking for me and having wine. This is becoming my longest relationship since my divorce. A whole 2 weekends. I am just a little stressed about going all the way to his house (about 45 minutes away) and working all day Saturday, but I'll get over it. A man is cooking for ME.

Way to go Girl!!! Wow that is nice that he is cooking for you. You deserve it!

I think this is the sweetest picture ever. This is a picture of Tyler holding Joey's hand while she is sleeping.

OMG that is an awesome picture. You should use it as your avatar!! I love it. That is one of the sweetest things I have seen in a very long time. I have tears in my eyes just looking at it.

Happy Thursday

Marcie, I love grilled asparagus. Funny story! I remember my confirmation. I was so proud. Hope her day will be better than mine. My dad picked a fight with my mom and told her that I was a mistake. Nice!!?? I will never, ever forget that. The highlight was that my Aunt showed up from another state and surprised me.

We are expecting a blizzard. High winds and 14" of snow. I am babysitting for 2 kids that I watched for something like 9 years. They begged their mom for me to babysit some time on their spring break. I feel so loved!

Jrsy, Cristi and Heidi. Be careful driving later on in the day. It could be a rough go for a couple of days.

I don't plan to be driving anywhere, but I am leaving early today. Not because of the weather, but because Alex is on Spring Break, so I've had this afternoon and tomorrow scheduled to be off long before this weather was predicted.

So here's an interesting story: the "check engine" light came on in our Explorer over the weekend and Tammy has been trying to decide whether to take it to the nearby dealership or to the place we usually go for oil changes and such. She was making herself nuts trying to decide and prayed about it, asking God for a sign. So yesterday after she left the credit union, she passes the place where we go for oil changes and such and there is a sign outside that says "check engine light special." Apparently, God does have a sense of humor.

What was the special? What did they do to fix it?

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Jrsy, that is totally crazy! I have never even seen a sign like that. Did you take it in?

The special was that they do the diagnostic for free. Tammy took it in this morning and it is already done. They had to replace some of the wiring and the spark plugs; they were surprised it was all still original, but we use the Explorer far less than we use the Honda. Really, it was the first time we had any "major" work done on it in the 6 or so years we've owned it.

I was going to tell you that you could take your car to a parts store and most of the time they do the diagnostic test for free. Now if you take it to a dealership or garage ... well ... you pay between $60-$110 or in NC you would.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Jrsy - that is too funny, what a sign!

Selena - I am not sure how to shrink it down enough to make it my avatar.

I was released early from work at 10:30 this morning. What normally takes me 15-20 minutes took me over an hour to drive home.

Let is snow, let it snow, let it snow.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Brrrrrr. It's cold outside. Ted is out shoveling. He insisted that I stay inside since my back has been hurting all week. What a guy!! I shoveled this afternoon and thought I was going to die. LOL

Just our luck. Our hot water heater went out tonight. Ted got it drained thankfully. I told him to go skiing tommorow and not worry about me not having water. How could he miss the best day of skiing for the year?

Oh Sandy what a great wife you are!

You guys try not to freeze.

Nah, you would have done the same thing.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Skiing was excellent today. Tons of powder. Definitely a great day to end the season.

Selena - do you have a facebook account?

Mom - we need to make you a facebook account, it is so much fun!

 

[Jrsy Boy]

Let is snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Here is my snow photo from this morning:

Selena - do you have a facebook account?

Mom - we need to make you a facebook account, it is so much fun!

Selena is on there...and Cristi and Marcie. Seems like Sandy is the only one missing now.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Ok, ok, quit pushing me. Heidi, we will have to set up a facebook account.

Great picture Jrsy. The one that Heidi posted was from my cell phone right at the beginning of the wind.

Yes I do have one. I am Jrsy, Marcie and Cristi's friend. Remember we will be gone for 7 days and I will not be able to confirm you guys (gals) until I come back.
