Hi ladies,
Was looking at the weather and I noticed an alert in Memphis I have never seen in all the years I've been there -
fire alert - gusty winds and really dry conditions making for a potentially rapid burning - explosive they said - fire situation. Geez as if the earthquake potential and tornadoes weren't enough. And people wondered why we moved out of there
I hope this does not extend up your way Ceejay. I thought you guys got doused with lots of rain lately. Sorry to hear that you are feeling poorly Ceejay - hope a day of rest gets you feeling back to yourself. Sounds like you are still trying to decide what path you want your future to take - it's not easy to decide and sometimes you can over think it.
Mel - I admit I was a bit disappointed to hear that you took the alarms back. Although I'm sure you know what you are doing and it is probably stressing out Jen covering for you, isn't it? Just as long as you put yourself first, above all else.
Glad you liked my finding my Joy again (and we aren't talking Shad
) - it was something a friend told me a few weeks ago and it stuck on me. Several people have told me (including you guys) that I am happy again like I used to be. I am. I love your dinosaur joke this morning
I would get lost on websites looking for the morning graphic and never get here
Although I do have to admit that it snowed lightly ALL DAY LONG and at this point I am getting a bit tired of it. Come on spring!
I think we are supposed to get some warming later on in the week so maybe some of this will melt back a bit. We walked a little bit into the property to get to the bird feeders out back. It is pretty with the trees and snow - I had the urge to camp out but it passed quickly
We have these little red pine squirrels - Red Buttons in squirrel form for those of you old enough to remember him. They were screaming like chimpanzees at DH invading their territory. They obviously don't know who they are messing with.
Laura - my muscles ache just reading your post! A few years back I did a pledge for a girl at 3FC who did the Hustle Up the Hancock challenge.
Besides 94 flights of stairs I can't imagine old claustophobic me in an interior stairwell with crowds of people running (all past me no doubt).
But I do admire those with the fortitude to do it. Was wondering how people trained too. I've been out of downtown and big buildings for over 10 years and when I left buildings had locked the interior stairwell access doors long before that as a security threat because thieves were sneaking in from the ground floor, going up the stairs and then sneaking into offices and stealing wallets, laptops and purses. So you go in the stairwell and get locked in
Shad - sounds like your world is a bit stressed at the moment everywhere you turn. This backyard shed is taking longer than the Taj Mahal to build!
DH and I went to a fancy appliance store out here looking at wood stoves one day and I came across the dishwasher drawers that you have - even the brand you have - starts with a F I think? I could not imagine how they were from your description but once I could see it, they are really pretty neat. And you aren't kidding about pricey
I think perhaps because that would be considered so cutting edge out here. Most of the folks that live in town are regular everyday people like us but we hear there is ALOT of money up this way too, particularly the homes that sit on the lakefront property and they are the ones who frequent the expensive appliance store. Anyway I digress and hope you have a quieter week ahead of you. Sounds like you need a getaway weekend - short break away from the madness for a bit.
Michelle - saw your post on FB about DH. My prayers are with both of you that they can get him on the road to recovery. So glad that one of your neighbors stepped up and helped out with the snow.
Annie - did you have a wonderful time babysitting? I'm sure you did.
Turtle.
I need to get my butt in gear. DH says we need new washcloths and I have a 30 percent off Kohls coupon and they are having a sale. So we will take a drive into the next town and go shopping - him to the home improvement store - me to Kohls. Maybe I can convince him to stop at the Chinese Buffet for lunch - I am jonesing for Chinese food and they have some nice non fried selections.
Have a good Sunday chicks.
