OT: Spring Break! I say - SPRING BREAK!!!!! I don't have to be smart for a week! :ring |
Wait Barb! You arent going to Florida to party down with the college kids? I wanna go too! Beth Enjoy your break. |
I'm off from school for the week too. Loving every minute of it. I actually started a few days early due to my youngest being sick ALL week w/ a stomach virus, a visit to the ER and lots of puking going. Poor baby! He's doing much better now. So much we sat last night and figured out that we are going on 3 day trips this upcoming weeks plus going to the movies. I let him plan it out, picking the days and which place we would be going...we planned our whole week. Then he said it...... what about dad? Well dad has to work. He got upset. He isn't used to going places without his dad attending....so I told him I would ask him if he could take a vacation day to attend one of our days w/ us...he decided which one he wanted dad to come with. So we shuffled some stuff around so that we could accomadate the day RAH could get off. So we still have a full week of fun planned. I'm looking forward to it. It will be the first outtings w/out RAH with us...something I and the kids may need to get used to. |
The sun is shining and it looks to be warming up and my car needs a bath. Big - Big. So I'm gonna pack up the lappytop and scoot over to a coffee 'hot spot' and do some downloading that I can't do here because of the crappy connection. I THOUGHT I was going to sleep in but my bladder had other ideas. The only 'agenda' I have other than study and stuff for three exams the first days back is spring clean this place. |
Last weekend of our spring break in my neck of the woods - I think today I am going to hang out at Lowe's for a while and dream of home improvement projects for my new house, without having someone hanging over my shoulder reminding me we "can't do that" or "I don't like that light fixture" or "I don't think that will work"... Enjoy your week, barb! It goes by so fast! |
I really can't think of a better way to spend Spring Break, Tuffgirl. I went to a couple stores and got seeds for purple carrots, white carrots and orange carrots, beans, lavender, a Sarah Bernhardt peony, sprouts. My dad's are already sprouting: tomatoes, chives, squash, cabbage, I forget what else.... Hopefully, I don't kill the little things while Dad and his wife are traveling, and hopefully, I'll be able to grow more than just weeds for me and DS. I'm trying to think of other plants that I may be able to do alright with: more flowers in pinks, lavenders and white, for a planter XAH cannot give away, rosemary, more peonies... I've also found one of the first projects for whatever little home I eventually find: a living fence of orange osage, or maybe willow. Dreaming of my own little home is so nice. |
Oooh, Uncertainty -- I know a place in town where you can check out a living willow fence... PM me! |
LOL Wicked! I don't know how I missed what you said about florida! My Florida days are over, LOL that ship... hath sailed. And sailed. and sailed.... I spent the first part of the day down at the coffehouse cyber hot spot downloading some audio books a friend sent me. Got a text from someone I haven't really TALKED to in almost a year and she came up to the shop and we drank expresso and basically got WIRED and blabbed like magpies! Then I called my OTHER friend (the woman in her seventies) who never leaves her house it seems told her to get dressed warm that we were going to wash my car. omg it's SOOOO dirty from all the snow and slush. We proceeded to cruise town from car wash to car wash because every car washing facility in town had lines waiting that went around the building! We went to dinner ... it was AWFUL!!!! I shal write to the owner of the restaraunt they didn't tell us all the ingredients of the entree we ordered and both of us had food allergies to what was in there. they charged us anyhow. the nerve! but it was a warm(ish) sunshin-ie day and the company was good so we just came back and watched tv. That's the first television I've watched in weeks. I just can't get my head around what's happened. And the evening and the morning .... was the first day of break! I didn't have to be smart didn't have to spell anything didn't have to use correct grammar.... a true vacation LOL |
Glad you are enjoying your spring break Barb! It is a much needed break IMO when ppl are students. Otherwise the brain spins out of control. lol Stopping by to wish you well! Now if employers would recognize that workers need a break a few times a year then we would all be doing well! |
I've decided the car won't be washed until monday. everyone else will have to go back to work and there might not be a line then. and my PAID FOR car will get 'the treatment'. vac - smellie stuff - everything. |
