Spring is Almost Here!

What a great weekend. We spent a lot of time outside yesterday, and even did some gardening! It felt so good.

This morning while I was posting to the store blog, I heard a robin singing outside our window. I thought.....it couldn't be!

Sure enough, I went to the window and I saw her!

Spring is right around the corner! Yipee!!!

I've Been Tagged!

Joanne tagged me in the 4th folder/4th photo game. I had to cheat a little. I don't store many photos on my laptop, so I just chose the 4th photo in the file with my photos.

This is when Jason and I went to California in January. We are just arriving at our hotel. What a great trip. We had so much fun.....it seems like so long ago.

I am going to tag.......Wendy, Michelle, and Jill.

Leave a link in the comment section so we can all see your photo! Have fun.

Thoughts for Today!


I 'blog lifted' this image from a blog I stumbled across. I don't even remember where.

I really liked it and I wanted to share it with all of you. If you click on the image it will be large enough for you to read.

Words to live by.....

I Hate Grocery Shopping!!!

Grocery shopping is one job that I just hate. I know that we have to eat, and my families health is important to me. I just don't want to make time for this kind of shopping in my weekly plans.

I dread going to the store. I wander around and wonder what to buy. Going up and down each isle, I fill my cart, only to empty it all back out again at the front of the store. The packers stuff everything back into the cart for me to wheel it out to my car. Then, I empty it out of the cart into my trunk and head for home.

Upon arrival, there is usually no one around to help be lug all the bags into the house (go figure, eh?) The unpacking process starts all over again. It really just exhausts me.

The funniest part of the whole thing is that I have just spent hundreds of dollars on food and that same day.....someone opens the fridge and says 'we have nothing to eat'!

I can hardly wait to do it again next week!!!

My New Addiction!


I know it has been a while since I posted to my blog. Part of that is because the store has been so busy. By the time I put in my day there, come home and look after my family stuff and then post to the store blog, it doesn't leave me much time.

The other reason for my absence is my new addiction to the show Lost! Every night at around 9:30 or 10pm my hubby and I plunk ourselves in front of the television to watch a few episodes of this amazing series.

We started back at the beginning and we are now in season 2. Watching it night after night, back to back episodes, is so different than watching it week by week. It is like a movie that doesn't end.

I find myself thinking of it often during the day. The only other thing that has ever done that to me is scrapbooking. It is a tangled web of personalities and plots. Every episode leaves you hanging and wanting more. There have been nights where we have stayed up way too late, just to see what will happen next. I am not a reader, but I think this is what it must be like with a really good book.....you just cant put it down.
