Diana: I see you have some inloves too! Aren't they special!?! So glad you're having Easter dinner with your DB. Hope you have a great time!

Enjoyed a bit of time outside while helping DD#1 hang some laundry on the line. So beautiful! Then a baby squirrel decided to check us out..too cute! DD even got some pics of "Chip". Yep, we name all the animals that hang around here!

Then the girls and I checked out our lilac bush. So beautiful! Even brought a few blooms in! So refreshing!

Well I'd better get going! Cya!

Just a quick peek. I had a rough week, high on emotions of all sorts. Slept until 11:00 this morning, did dishes and managed to PUPA, so glad I had done good in cleaning and cooking ahead last weekend, it helped a lot. Tomorrow I'm going for my evaluation of my skills for the college application. Keeping fingers crossed, this is step 3 in a series of 5. Have a great day!

Good luck Bubblegum! Sorry it was a rough week for you.

Wendy:
I copied you,I love saying inloves. This is my DHs brother and his wife, and they have been very kind and loving to me since DH passed and even before.

So cute about naming your animals. I have too many squirrels to name them! LOL

thu night before bed, i planned my outfits for the next week and selected earrings. i did menu planning til sat and listened to both a show on here and a motivational tape and read the 75 for fri. i finally went to bed at 4am.

fri i got up at 4pm. after coffee and cigs, i did the windexing then changed into a suit to go to a meeting. it felt so good to be dressed up for a change! i came home, did the daily routine and ate dinner, then read a book for an hr. next i listened to 2 motivational tapes and knitted, then ate my 2am meal. i planned the first week of aprils menus, did budget work and took a bath. now i'm on here til 6am.

Mary, you keep some late hours!! I am falling asleep at 9 pm most nights.

Had two appointments yesterday, and a huge sales call, I got the job!

Did the usual bank, Post Office run. Walked Finn on the trail half-way, he seems to be ok and not limping.

Made a new pasta recipe for dinner, (meat free Friday). Came out nice. Straightened up the house a bit, it's in pretty good shape.

Have outside work this morning and it's raining and possible flurries. Yuck.

Bubblegum, good luck today!

Busy work week finished. Getting stuff done around the house this morning...swept hardwoods, put random shoes away. Its a rainy wet day so no outside activities I think. Have a trip planned for DS to easter event shortly. Girls night at friends house tonight.

Diana and Mary, we only name the unusual animals. Chip got named because he's the first baby squirrel we've seen. Most squirrels that are near the house become targets for DH. (Those things are really destructive.)

Great Family Productive day!! We've raked leaves, finished the raised garden bed, weeded some areas, and now DH is mowing! DH and I even ran while the girls biked!! Now to get back out there and do some more!

Great going everyone! Cya later!

wl, double yay on getting the job and finn not lymping. boo on the possible flurries

at 6am i couldn't sleep. i ran the dw and emptied it and finished a load of clothes. i also did a daily routine, cleaned my earrings and made a list of errands that i need to run. jay and i are going out at 5 tonight to applebees

mary

So glad I made extra pizza last night. It fed us two more meals!! Yea! Now to do the dishes to tidy up!

After my last post, we got back outside to do more work. Spoke with the neighbors a bit and they're going to be working on the fence line. Yea!

We burned a huge pile of leaves, I raked some more areas and found two snakes! Yuck! DH to the rescue!! He got rid of them for me! Then DD#2 and I headed to town to pick up some things. Even got some plants for the raised garden bed. Can't wait to plant those!

Did enjoy a card game with DD#2. Taught her to play hand and foot. It's been a while since we played that!

Well, this girl needs sleep! Nite all!

Juju - You have been busy!

Waterlady - Congrats on the job

Wheretostart - Congrats on the weight loss

Everyone else is super busy as always. I have been lazy so far this weekend. Friday night was a girls night out and although I enjoy having a tipple and dancing the next day I feel it. So apart from visiting my in-laws Saturday was a quiet day.

Today I am recovered from the sleep deprivation and aching from all the dancing and raring to go, so I am off into he garden to see what I can achieve.
