Happy May

Wow i cant believe May is here. We vehad some really nice days followed bys ome really cold/windy/rainy/chilly days! But the days that needed to eb nice were all that and a bag of chips! Ikes birthday was Friday but we didnt do anything till Sunday. Saturday I cropped for 9 hours at the lss. Amanda is doing some photo things for them so I saw her for a bit on Saturday. One of her pics of my los are on the stores blog!So thanks for that Amanda! Sunday was sunny but I was wiped out. Went to b-fast with Amanda and Emi and Olivia. While we were driving there I said oh duh about something and yep you guessed it! We heard "Oh duh" from the carseat!LOL it was just too funny!When we got back I had to do some last minute shopping for Ikes birthday dinner, came home and made the cake. I did nap for an hour or so while the cake cooled off enough to frost. Its was an awesome chocolate layer cake with choc frosting and strawberries between and on top of the cake, with whipped cream on the sides. Dan was over all day long installing some really awesomely cool outside speakers.I got him a nice lounge chair, a throne fit for the king! Emi got him a GC to Gander Mntn, which heloved!And a chamois for his car washing adventures!! On Monday I picked up my beef and came home and crashed!was up in the evening for about 2 hours but otherwise I was sleeping! Yesterday I worked outside for a few hours, finally planting those massive canna bulbs I got earlier in April at the Kane Co Flea Mrkt. I cant wait to see how big they get. And on Friday we are going to Sunnyfield farms to buy flowers to plant. I dont need much as Ive scaled back alot! This place is known for its rather exotic looking stuff so well see! well I nee dto get some appts made ad get on with my day! Thanks for stopping b y!

Mam has april slipped away

I was meaing to post more! well it s mot over yet! I really have no business being here as I have an 11:00 beauty appointment! My mom ws supposed to come with med but shes not feeling too well! Sigh.Then Ill go walk asIm back onto my track of good/better health. I havent really stopped just a hiatus from working out! Grr. Now Im starting all over again! Well I need to run or illbelate! Have a good one everyone!

good evening

I know! I cant believe that Im here so lat ein the evening either! Just ting up loose ends for the day and planning tomorrow. Ive got things ready for taking the taxes to Rons tomorrow. And Im also going to take my comforter with me and wash it! They get dirty so fast, and after its washed it seems to speed up the dirty process! Thats oe reason I dont spend alot (under 50.00) on one. Im going to try and get out of here by 9 if I can. I dont want to be out in the drippy rain. And cold again!! Damn x 3! I guess when it finally gets warm itll be warm to stay. then getdown to business in the garden. Ill wait until mid may to be sure. Doesnt that sound so far away? It does to me too.Friday will be pick up the house day, then the SU shindig! Yes Ive got a busy lil schedule for a week or so! Better gets me some beauty rest. Oh on a sad closure, Phils dad passed away today. Em will be flying out on Friday Im pretty sure. Early too! Not sure how long shell b e gone. Ill miss her, but I know her heart is with Phil right now...sos mine...sigh!

April Fool

Yeah were being fooled into thinking that spring is here! If the weather doesnt break soon im going to start ...wel...well...sputter..I dont know what but it wont be pretty! Its overcast windy and cold! 36 degrees! yeah that really sucks! But supposed to get sunny so Im holding off going grocery shopping till its sunny! So there! Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Out poking around

in the garden this afternoon. Trimmed back the dead wood on the hydrangea, and seedum. Tulips and crocus' are up but Ileft leaves around them. Im hoping that we dont gat a late april freeze again this year. I had no hydrangea blooms last yr, and it made me so sad! Boy am I tired now. Waiting to go get RX for the dr to fax back refills so I dont have to make 2 trips. Ohother big news. I went to see the surgeon this am and he said that everthing looked good, but it still takes 6 weeks to heal 100%. I may try to hit River plex for some walking in the next week. Wellp thats about it for me. Pretty boring huh?

Oops forgot again

I dont think this is the last time youll see this sort of title on my posts so just bear w/me. We got devastating mail twice last week! Same customer twice bounced checks totally 2k. They took it out of our acct!Thankfully we didnt bounce anything but still 2000.00 os alot of money! I left no less than 4 messages on their answering machine, and no call back. the last one was a little tough as in Im claling the sttes attorney if they didnt call back by today, jus tin case they were out of town. So guess who calls today! i was so relieved that he did. Ive given them till the 31st to pay up!Theyre lucky that we arent charging them addtl fees which is in our rights as a business. But Im not quite that mean and Ike sjust happy to have the money back. Now if our bank charged us thatd be different. Ok that is really alll for today!

the easter aftermath

What a day! Exactly as a holiday should be! WE had good/great food and even better company! We talked and ate, went to see Emis new little rented condo, lest anyone think shes really growing up!LOL It is so her. I can see her living there for years. It even has a cute little "lake" that has a sandy beach like area nad a dock. Ikewanted to know if he could bring his boat. Emi rolled her eyes. Went back to Terrys for my PW dessert and everyone was in love at first bite! We came home and I changed into my home clothes and was fast asleep by 6:30.Kind of an up and down night,though when all I really wanted was to sleep! I guess the biggest thing from yesterday, beside Olivias darling dress and sweet little piggies, was that AManda thinks shell be able to totally quit her day job for online design work. You can find her at amandae dot photography@blogspot . com . Now dont go flodding her little blog with a zillion posts! Her for real dot com website will be up and running April 1st!Its so very exciting for them! And us too! They seem to have their dads' entreprenurial drive and spirit. O will still go to the sitters a few days a week cause theyll still have to pay the bills, but Im so happy to see this happening so soon for her. Gods given her some awesome talent! SO i guess after all that thanking Im going off for a bit. I dont feel as well today a sI did on Saturday, but Ive had 3 very busy days in a row too. I think Ill cuddle up with The Pants (my big old Maine Cooner Cat) and watch entertaining tv!LOL HOpe the sun comes out for a few days! I think Im turning into a shrinking violet or some crazy plant like that!
