Thanks for starting us up,
LC! I have my English Breakfast tea at hand and am trying to wake up. I feel a bit like our dog, who looked drunk trying to sleepily walk downstairs this morning.
Sending you virtual Cold Eeze so you won't get sick!
Time for the hoover, eh,
Ruth? Hope all is neat and tidy by the afternoon so you can sit and relax with the pups!
Cottage, you are such a dear! It's a shame DH can't make YOU dinner tonight as you've been working so hard lately!
I absolutely LOVED the Little House books as a child. They were my absolutely favorites and I read them over and over! Beware, though, that the second book is a bit different from the other ones--it features the childhood of Laura's husband, Almanzo Wilder, who grew up in upstate New York with a prosperous farming family. The main reason to beware is that this is the "Hustler" of food porn for those of us who like sweets and carbs.
Seriously. Just wait until the descriptions of homemade donuts, stacks of 12 pancakes just for one person, pie for breakfast...
I think part of my obsession with food started with that book! It's a wonderful one, though...I especially loved his tenderness and relationship with the farm animals.
Oh,
Cyndi, I hate boring meetings! Any chance you could do something productive (like write a letter, journal, or write a story) on a pad during the meeting while making it look like you're intently taking notes?
I just hate wasted time! Hope you see some beautiful birds on your drive! We have crocuses here, too, and little green shoots are coming up for grape hyacinths and daylillies, but no sign of daffies or anything else yet. I'm so excited for spring!!!
Hi,
Jelly!
Welcome back,
Kim! We missed you! I envy you the Wii Fit! I got to play with it a little at my PT appointment a couple weeks back and I think I could really enjoy using it! Hope you have fun with it.
Schmoo, good for you on avoiding the chairperson duty. Your friend could avoid it too, if she wanted, so don't feel bad. It's crazy how much we all tend to take on just because of guilt!
Glad you've figured a way to fit the gym in starting in the summer. Great time to do it!
Me:
Well, it actually
was raining here this morning, Ruth, but it stopped. I loved it--Spring rain is my absolute favorite!
I have gym after work today and then back later on for yoga. DH got the parts for the water heater, but we decided to wait a day and see if it was leaking as it hadn't done anything overnight. It did leak, but not much, so we've decided to wait until Saturday to do the repairs as it's much easier than doing it late after a full day of work.
