Happy St. Patricks Day

Where have I been ???

Playing farmville

Finally gave in and started a facebook (so I could play farmville) .. and I have to say .. its alot of fun. Don't really do the facebook part .. just the farmville part.

It's Christmas in March around here ...

It truly is the "little things" that really matter. Had the plumber out this morning .. and fixed all the broken stuff in the house. (well almost, have 1 left to go) lol
But, omg ... it's like living in Buckingham palace. All the sinks work .. and don't leak, the toilets are all fixed, and as a bonus .. he pumped the water pressure by like .. double.

This is the good life.

A surprise for Me ????

When I looked out the front door this morning, this is what I saw.

A beautiful new camaro. Hmmm, a surprise gift from Mark ... I would have to say .. yesssss. (of course I'm worth it)
Seems kind of strange, that a gorgeous new car is parked across the street, with no one around. Well, I'm gonna just go out on a limb and say that yeah, must be from Mark. Now I probably wouldn't of gone with the yellow ... but I think this is just a payback for the yellow car I bought him a few years back. (yellow vw bug - on ebay) long story ... lol
I would confirm this "gift" ... but he's not home right now. (must of had it delivered, and then "went to work out") ... for the sake of the story. He said he needed to go to the gym early today, because he left his book there yesterday. But I figured out the real reason now ...
It was to work out all the logistics for this awesome surprise gift.

Thanks hon ... I love it

My favorite day of the year ...

Is girl scout cookie day !!!


This just made my day.

Girl Scout cookies are just being unloaded in the St. Louis area.

Usually I don't read the news, but this was front page local yahoo. (guess not alot happens around here)
So as excited as I was the day we were ordering ... even more, now that I know they will be here in a day or so.
I've been loving girl scout cookies since I sold them, and we all know how long ago that would be.
The day the little girl scouts started taking orders, the mean children in the house, spent their morning playing tricks on me. They would ring the doorbell and hide, (trying to get a Pavlov dog response .. which they did .. every time)

But all of that doesn't matter anymore, since I will have cases and cases of girl scout cookies at the house soon. (you really have to stock up- since they only sell these once a year)

For those of you who didn't plan ahead ...

Enjoy !

It's a banner day around here ...

As everyone who knows me knows ... don't let anything sit around for too long, or it will end up gone.

My theory on the whole subject is ... if you leave something just sitting around for weeks and weeks .. obviously, you don't really need it. So in order to reduce clutter, ( and to make it easier to move - on a moments notice- lol ) ... you need to purge all the garbage every so often.

Now over the weekend, Kayla actually gave these up ... voluntarily I might add. I did wait until she was back at school to toss them, just in case she changed her mind.
I do think this "quality" skips a generation. I know, I get rid of stuff all the time. My parents ... well if you look around the basement at dad's house .. that pretty much answers that question. And the girls ... they're really not on that -throw away- band wagon either. Actually, they have given me for my birthday and mothers day in the past ... a bag of trash from their rooms. Pretty much the most perfect gift ever.

Other people want fancy gifts, but give me a bag of "freshly cleaned out trash from your room" and I'm good. (an occasional box of Godiva chocolate never hurts though also)

Saw this ...

and just had to post it.

This one is for you sweetie.
