Spring has UN-sprung

Everyone here knows the saying, "If you don't like the weather in {insert your hometown here}, then wait 5 minutes." HA . . . HA . . . HA . . . We've had snow storms and cold weather since the beginning of October 2009. I'm tired of having cold toes, blue fingers, and a frosty butt!! Mother Nature is playing a cruel joke on us. 75 degrees for two days and then this is what we woke up to this morning: MORE snow!!! And then as we drove to school and work, this is what we saw: Snow really IS beautiful!!

Spring has sprung!

Since I was such a tomboy growing up, no one would have guessed that underneath the manure, back tag glue, hay, and wet horse smell, that I liked girlie things. I'm not sure I even realized it until I was in my 30s. Who doesn't love flowers, glitter toes, and massages?! Here's what we did today to satisfy my girlishness for the week: The Tulip Festival (my most favorite flowers EVER!)

Grover, and Gaga, and Pintos . . . Oh My!

Five Question Friday here I come!! Join in. It really is fun getting to know other bloggers. Here's what you do: Copy and Paste the following questions to your blog and answer them, and if you want to link up using the Link at the bottom (formerly known as McLinky) so that others can read what words of wisdom you have to impart, feel free. Thanks, Mama M !! 1. What was the first car you owned? 2. What song are you embarrassed to know the lyrics to? 3. Have you ever had stitches? 4. What was your first job? 5. Who is your favorite Sesame Street character? Here's my two cents: 1. What was the first car you owned? This will TOTALLY give away my age (ok, m y previous post did that, not this question!) . I had a Ford . . . wait for it . . . PINTO. Woohoo!! And boy, did I feel cool driving around in THAT! 2. What song are you embarrassed to know the lyrics to? I've mentioned this before, but I DO like Lady Gaga, even though some of her lyrics are a little dicey. So r

AARP or Bust

I'm only 50 (ok, 51 in 3 months) . That's not that old, but according to my boys "I'm older than dirt" and according to society I'm past my "prime." To both statements I say: HA!!! Of course, most days my knees hurt when I sit too long or when I get up from my comfy couch (OKAY, so if I got OFF that couch more often, they might not hurt as much!). My memory isn't quite as sharp as it used to be; but then, there are SOME things I'd LIKE to forget ( ummm ...the year 2005!?). Looking in the mirror (or through the eyes of my "observant" children, I have more gray hair every day. . . even in my eyebrows! I still have radar hearing, which is terrific . . . except at 11:30pm when my neighbor starts her laundry and then jumps on the treadmill for 45 minutes!! I'm not going to let the world OR my family put me in a nursing home just yet. I'm still going to get glitter toes and dance around a stage in a musical with a bunch of 20
It's Friday!!! I was looking forward to 5QF and wanted to get this posted early so someone would have a chance to read it, but alas . . . SLACKER! No, really . . . I forgot. I'll be lucky if anyone even reads this post this week because I'm so far down on the McLinky list, but I've been working hard on creating positive thoughts this week so my positive thought is . . . AT LEAST 10 PEOPLE WILL READ THIS. :) So here goes . . . if you want to participate copy and paste the questions. If you want to link up using the McLinky, you can do that at the end of my blog. Thanks, Mama M ! 1. Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life? Wow . . . I get a movie made about ME? Hahahahaha. I'm pretty boring. But since we're dreaming, I'll go with Demi Moore. We have some of the same features. And since we're dreaming . . . I'll just play HER and have that cute Ashton Kutcher on my arm :) 2. Did you ever go to summer camp? I picture summer camp
