I've had a productive day. I slept in, went to the bank, bought bras and underwear at Kohl's, got a pet stake at the pet store and installed it so Rex could watch me spend a couple of hours pulling up Poison Ivy vines in the yard. I HOPE I got all the oil off but I'll know in a couple of days. I also picked up some screening stuff and replaced the screen in one frame. Tomorrow I need to build a new one from a kit but I need to see if I own a hacksaw. I might have to pick one up or wait until Don can help me next week. I also need to get the adhesive off of the siding and old window frame. Robert's answer to replacing the screen was to duct tape it and that left a lot of adhesive behind plus looked trashy.

I'm relaxing now watching a movie on TV, reading a book and playing a game on Facebook while doing laundry.

Dang Barb, you keep busy even when you're relaxing!

Busy Beachies! Around here, they say "I'd rather burn out than rust out" to justify all that activity.

The flood has receded and my dog yard is back except for some large puddles. Jazz seems to adore the water and mud. This breed (Tsvetnaya Bolonka) was bred for gifts to the Russian nobility and were meant to hang around castles but he sure acts like a real dog outside! I think he may need a very short haircut for summer instead of his long silky fur - think Yorkie.

I am nearly out of daffodils with only 25 bunches to sell at the Legion brunch today. Little Delta did very well in its support for the Canadian Cancer Society and I have several names of folks who will work next year.

Time for breakfast, more coffee and then Church. Looks like sunshine is on the menu too,

ETA: Make that 15 bunches. I Just got an email ordering 10 for the Church folk!

Hurray for Delta, rallying up to the challenge! Those daffodils would be hard to resist. They're just what everyone needs right now to bring a bit of sunshine into their lives.

We're going to spend the afternoon working out in the yard, since this looks like the only decent day between a string of rain. I have a truck load of mulch coming tomorrow, and I'm determined to get it spread this next week, so that's going to be a very messy job.
I'd like to go to Home Depot today and pick out paint to repaint our bedroom this week, too. But first, I'll have to remove the wallpaper and scrub the walls. So it's looking like I'll be pretty busy this week.

Morning all!!
I've been outside with my flame thrower killing weeds on the patio...they were about to take over...now they are toast!

Had a very nice day yesterday at the New Orleans Botanical Gardens looking at the the work that has been done. It was a gorgeous day and we had a lot of fun. Hard to believe that it was completely destroyed by Katrina. A lot of hard work has gone into restoring the structures and replanting. Of course you know I have pictures!

Today will be filled with grocery shopping, powerpoints for school and house cleaning. yuk.

Hope everyone has a productive (or lazy!) day.

morning all, just sitting here drinking coffee. me and max have already gone on our walk/run and are relaxing now, well he's sleeping i'm relaxing.

Morning everyone! Thank God for my tea!!!! My brain just doesn't let me sleep when Tom's gone. I don't know what my problem is! I used to sleep alone just fine before he came along. Came to bed at 12:06am, looked at the clock at 1:24am, rolled around for awhile, then 4:47am and finally fell asleep. Alarm went off at 8am and here I am. At least he's coming home today!!!!!

I have an appointment today with 4 girls and hopefully it'll mean some good sales. The one I had in Decatur last night was fun and all, and I have two probable recruits coming from it, but because of that, I came home empty-handed after 102 miles driven round-trip. Yikes! Fortunately today's is much closer to home!

Oooh, I feel the caffeine radiating through my chest. I love that first mug! Hey, I gave up white flour and sugar, I gave up tobacco, I gave up alcohol (minus special occasions,) I gave up nail-biting... a girl's gotta have 1 vice!

Hope everyone has a nice, relaxing day!!!!! I'll check in later!

Lisa

Morning, all!

A beautiful day here... BF and I are just about to head over to check out the new Mets stadium. I am making sure to eat a hearty breakfast beforehand... the food there is supposed to be out of this world! Real NYC pizza, BBQ joints from famous chefs, canollis with blue and orange sprinkles, beers from around the world... the only SBD-friendly thing is the prices, which will surely keep me from ordering anything off plan!

After watching the practice, I think we'll go for a walk in the park... then food shopping... then home to prepare for another week!

Have a great day!

Took the dog for a long walk. It's chilly this morning (46 and windy) after the 82 degrees yesterday. I got quite a bit of the adhesive off but not all and I can't find a hacksaw so I'll need to pick one up. I might wait on that until I pick Brian up from his campout. If he isn't too tired he might enjoy a trip to the tool store.

I still need to think about meal planning for the week.

Nice sunny cold so far day. Its suppose to warm up this afternoon so might go for a walk. Busy finishing some commitments I had and it will feel good to be done. Hopefully this week I will get some spring cleaning done before the gardening season starts.
Also a chat with my DD was great and it was nice to hear about some new accomplishments of my dear grandson, oh, I miss him so much. We will go out again in Sept. and drive thru this time. I really enjoy driving thru northern Ontario and the prairies.
Daffodils were selling great at our local LCBO (Liquour Control Board of Ontario). They are so nice. None of them are open yet.
Willpower isn't too bad this weekend except I should have stuck just to one glass of wine.
take care
Sophie

Sophie, when the daffodils arrive they look all brown at the tips but mine opened up beautifully once they were in water with the ends trimmed a bit. Mine are all gone now and I'm just tallying up the bucks. Whew!

Happy Sunday Chicks! We decided to go out and bird right after breakfast, so a late start to everything else That will happen a lot now.

I've got baked beans in the crock pot, garbanzos in the strainer, pintos in the pressure cooker and cannelinis in the fridge waiting to be mixed into salad. I guess we like beans around here.

Ruth - glad to hear the daffodils moved. I've got to go in search of some tomorrow. Dogs and mud, like small children and mud, don't seem able to resist each other

Cottage - Happy yarding!

Cat - Lovely to see you Thanks for the pics, they are beautiful. Now I'm going to start bugging DP about a flame thrower again. She is not a fan of this idea for some reason

Me, swan & Barb

Weezle - I am so with you on the coffee! Hope the sugar beasties stay far away today.

Sophie - More than one glass of wine and I fall asleep, so not something I do much I'm enjoying the garden planning already.

Okay, time to move the pintos & cannelinis to the next phase. I'm going birding again at 3 if I get my chores done

Lisa, My hubby worked in New Orleans after Katrina. I was alone for weeks at a time. A loud box fan and Tylenol PM helped me sleep at night. It's worth a shot!

Auston is at another Easter Egg hunt today with his cousin. We have a birthday party this afternoon. Wonder if there is time for a nice nap?

I already had the fan going, but I'll have to try the Tylenol PMs next time. Hopefully I won't have to go without him much though!!!!

I got my 3rd recruit today, so I am now a Star Recruiter! WOO HOO! Prayers of thanks going upward!

Well, gotta get moving. Have an appointment today. I'll pop in later!

So which of my fine, new spring outfits should I wear to work tomorrow when it's 25 degree? High in the 40s! Sheesh!!!
