I think you need to move back to the midwest, CE! Indianapolis is nice! And our schools are out in May! Of course, we go back August 12th this year, but still.....
I'd love it. That pesky great job of D's, though...
Just recently started dying my hair because I was tired of pulling greyies. I am still not brave enough to experiment though. I just stick to my own hair color plus or minus a shade.
I do, really, too. It's always some form of brown. Right now it's burgundy brown, but I have plain ole dark brown ready and waiting - I have roots already. That's the bad part of the quickly growing hair. I started dyeing for fun, but I have some good pure white hairs going now, too.
Your IL school schedule sounds just like ours here. We are out May 22 and return mid-August. We get a week for fall break, 2 weeks for Christmas, and a week for spring break with several 3 day holidays sprinkled throughout.
Yeah, we never got a fall break back in the day, and I don't know if they're doing it there now. We usually didn't even get spring break. It was not at all a diverse community, so we usually got off - well, it would be today, the Wed. before Easter, whenever that was - at noon, and have off those 2 1/2 days as a "spring break." And, there weren't usually a ton of snow days. Anyway, I liked it better; even though you didn't get the time during the year, you got a real summer.
Read your first page of your TR. I use fake names for my family as well (in case you thought i really named our kids Alpha, Delta, Chi, omicron, and Delta). It's a long story but I have issues with my children's privacy.
Yeah, I figured.

It's actually my own name that is completely unique - my parents made it up - and I used to use my real name on reviews on
amazon.com. Some woman was easily able to find my address and wrote me a letter based on a review. The letter wasn't scary - it had to do with potty training because the review was about a potty chair

, but it really freaked me out. My DH said he felt more comfortable, since I use pictures, if I didn't identify our town or names.
Of course, now I'm on Facebook, and that's all out there - but I approve who can see it all, so...
I but the Carolyn Turgeon book on my wish list on paperbackswap! Thanks! I LOVE the Charlaine Harris books! I plan to re-read them before True Blood comes back on in June so I remember what the changed ion the show!
No problem! I finished the Sookie last night - I really enjoyed it. I don't know why I waited so long to get it.
play a mindless game and try not to throw things at KC as he plays his video games.
Aw, honey. I'm sorry.
Her mashed potatoes always taste better than I make, or anyone else's really.
I feel the exact same way about my grandma's mashed potatoes.
Is the 'Godmother' book an entire series? I could have sworn when I went to the boostore they have a few other books like that but telling from another characters point of view. Like they had the book Wicked there and then a few others. Maybe I'm just imaginang things since I had my whiny kids with me and I just wanted out of there. LOL
I think it's a growing genre - amazon.com had all sorts of "if you like this, you'd like these" recommendations. But I believe this is one of her first novels.
Do they also have like a prepaid type thing or do you just have to buy books individually?
You set up a "one-click" setting on amazon.com, and you buy individually, but you don't type in a cc# or anything, as you've set that up on their site.
Have you guys seen the new picnic in the park that you can get at AK? It's a counter service on the DDP and looks cute, obviously not in august as you have to eat outside in the designated picnic areas but in the cooler parts of the year
details here!
Sounds fun!
Ok, so I'm awake. Today is my recheck with the surgeon. Hoping (hoping!!) that I get the all clear to drive and clean again. I'm bored! LOL
Fingers crossed for you!
OK, I'm off to snuggle with DR on the couch and watch some TV. Hope y'all have a great Wednesday!
You, too!
Heading to Costco today. Anyone need anything?

Probably!
What August wasn't that bad ;-(

I agree. But maybe not for a picnic.
I'm at work and getting very frustrated! Long story short the boss is not telling anyone what the next move is in this reorganization, so I can't complete anything until the next steps are announced
I'll check back later everone!
I'm sorry, sweetie!
New plan. Bob's office has no phones or internet after the storm. It took down a bunch of trees because the snow was soooo heavy and wet. He's working from home.

Yikes!
I may run and get my hair cut, though. It's not so much curly as wavy now. I hope it's just gotten heavy, not that I messed it up with my hair dying this weekend. Did I mention that I started coloring my hair this weekend? I got tired of plucking greys too.
I like the color, but it's a bit darker than I thoguht it would be.
My hair always waves up more (I never curl) when it's shorter - totally just the weight of the hair, for what it's worth.
Pics if you do!
Hope everyone has a great day!
You, too! Have fun at the Museum.

It's a neat one, as I remember.

Well. I've done nothing this morning.
My friend who was possibly doing her basket shopping hasn't called. I don't know if I should go with her, anyway - I have some errands to do that are in the other direction. But I like spending time with her, so...
And I haven't showered, so even if she calls, I won't be ready to go. I need to do that. D bought a radio for the boat - it was missing, and the marina said that they'd put it in, or we could buy what we wanted and they'd knock the price of theirs off the boat. We could get a better one much cheaper, but the one D got didn't fit.

So, I have to return that by going to a UPS place, and I need to deposit a check at the bank.
It was nice and sunny when we got up this morning, but now it's clouded back over, and we're not supposed to hit 50 today. I am not sure the boys are wearing enough warm stuff - we've switched to fleece lined spring jackets, over the heavy Land's End winter coats - but maybe today would have been a good day for the heavy ones. Oops.
Anyway...
I should get off my bum and go do stuff, so I will. Hope everyone's having a nice morning.
