Try telling the weather that, but last evening I was sitting in my office here at home, and the way my house is set up, I can see from my office into the living room and look out the front door and widows. I have lace curtains with tie backs on them, so indeed I can see straight out side. It hit me that my tree has all it’s leaves on it and looks like a green canopy. Of course most people have already realized that winter is over, but it hit me that I wasn’t looking at just tree branches. I know this sounds sort of strange, but the realization of the fact that perhaps now it really might get warm here, really hit me. I’ve also noticed that I have been too busy to notice little things and I need to take the time and a breather to appreciate it all.
Went red
I have to admit I was born with auburn hair, but it was a dark brown with just a hint of red in it. My niece was over the other night and suggested I dye my hair red. I kind of shied away from the subject, until we went shopping the next day. Of course I took her to the beauty supply house, which is where she wanted to go to get some nail polish and other items. I started looking at those little hair swatches they have in the dye it aisle. Long story short, I am now a red head. To be honest…I like it!
A friend coming to visit!
A dear friend who I’ve known for nearly 25 years is coming for a visit. His daughter is graduating this month and though they live so very far away from one another, he wouldn’t miss this for the world. He loves his daughter so much. He will be flying into Chicago, as that is where his brother lives and will then drive to Michigan. Problem is, no transportation and renting a car is another problem, since for his daughter’s graduation present, he wants to buy her a good used car. That way, he will have transportation during his stay, and then give her the car before he leaves. I thought it was a great idea, as there are a lot of people he would like to visit, and places to go. His brother told him about looking at used cars in Chicago. He could buy one there, drive here and not have to rent a car to look for a car. Makes perfect sense to me!
Breanne my friend’s daughter, is the outdoorsy type of young lady. And she is always on the go. She loves to travel and in her old car, I can remember her coming to visit me last year and it looked like she had packed that little car as though she were going on a year long vacation around the United States, instead of on a two hour drive to stay here for week. I had to laugh when she even pulled out a waffle maker, because she wanted to make me “her famous Breanne waffles.” I suggested to her father that he look at something like a Cheverolet Avalance because it’s roomy, looks great and in the QT I called his kid to find out what she really wanted. I’m sneaky like that! 😉
Bless my friend’s heart. Though he loves his daughter so much, he has no clue how girls that age are, and certainly believes his “little girl” is still that…a little girl. Boy do I have news for him. He will soon learn that she indeed is her own person and has unique ideas. She and my youngest daughter are the same age and are great friends also. They both will have their new to them used cars, and I’m excited for this visit.
Weather’s fine!
I could not have complained about the weather today at all. It was the first day since last year, that the temps actually climbed up above the 80’s mark and I was so happy to go barefoot in the grass and just take a long walk without piling on a ton of clothes. In fact I wore shorts even! Now, if it only would stay this way.
Weekend plans.
I know I have to work a bit over the weekend and I also want to go check out some plants and seeds for my gardens. My blogging friends are all a buzz about plans for theirs and we are comparing ideas, sharing thoughts and as well as my friends, all interested in the straw bale gardening idea my dear friend told me about that I’m going to try. It all should be quite interesting. Like most my friends, who are fortunate enough to still have our Moms alive, we will go to visit them. Lately I’ve been entertaining the thought of what it would be like to be a mom. It comes and goes though. I want to be absolutely sure and ready if ever I decide to settle down and have a child. Still, it’s not like I don’t want kids. I do. But in this world of such disasters, and chaos, and also such hard times, should I bring a little one into the world? I don’t know. So…my weekend is going to be full. I also have to get around to cleaning this house, both inside and out. I’m such a procrastinator sometimes. Happy weekend, to All!
Finally Sunshine!
It looks like it’s going to be a nice day today, finally. The sun is shining and birds are chirping. I might be able to get out and do some yard work I’ve been itching to do, get some fresh air, and some sun. I hope it lasts.
Last years Zinnias.
Debating
I’m debating on having my hair cut or not. What a time to think about that when I’m going out on the first real date I’ve had in ages! I’ll think about it later. It’s a braid day anyway.
The dropping barometer…
I have found that during certain times, when the barometer drops, it messes with my whole body. Today I have a mega headache, and my ears are stuffy. Not to mention feeling a bit sick to my stomach. This has been going on for a long time. I wonder what the weather is to bring next? Considering the weather we’ve been having, as well as other states, it concerns me a great deal.
Surprise, surprise…
I didn’t read the whole article, but gee…what a surprise, (sarcasm added) Lindsay Lohan is already out of jail after being sentenced to a mere 120 days, last week. This is justice? Pfffttt!!!
Needing printers ink badly
Okay, so I said I don’t do much on Mondays, but I was sitting here blogging and wanted to check some things out on line about herbs for my garden. Even though it’s raining, I figure it has to stop sometime so think on the bright side. It’s either make some plans for the garden, or perhaps look up how to build an Ark. Not that I want to take care of all the animals of the world, but hey…I really don’t want to row around, since I don’t know how to row, and just end up going in circles. I found some really great info I wanted to print out, got read to print and found I was out of ink jet cartridges. I hate it with that happens.
I’m tired of paying the costly price of ink at the office supply I go to. It’s unreal. I wanted to see if I could find some cheap ink. Which at the stores around here, is darn near impossible. So, I used my fingers instead of gas and leg work. Online I went once again…surfing instead of rowing at the moment.
I compared lots of online stores that had sold printers ink, but most of them didn’t have the ink I needed for my model of printer, as it is, I must admit a rather old one. Okay, it is really almost obsolete and there for awhile I though I really would have to get a brand new one. I was so happy when I came across a great site, with my brand that I need, at excellent prices…both black and color. I ordered a truck load. LOL! I couldn’t help myself. I love my old printer. I know my dear friend, who has been so faithful to me and helpful over the years. I know, I know…I’m a bit sentimental and also didn’t want to shell out the bucks for a new one right now. 😉
