if all the raindrops....

were lemon drops and gumdrops, we'd be drowning in candy.

it's been raining for about 12 hours straight now.... and the forecast was: today rain tonight rain and tomroow rain clearing up by the evening.


hopefully this rain will seep the weed killer into the ground and kill all those nasty weeds in our front lawn...

not much else going on right now. its about a month and a week before we leave on out trip now and i thing both of us are really starting to get excited.... (now what should i start planning?)

our bedroom set comes tomorrow and tomorrow i take a field trip with work people to go visit my new company. we will all hold hands and use the buddy system as we learn about the place we will be moving to eventually.

ok hope every one is doing well.... once the bedroom set comes i will show pics of the room progress.

highs and lows

this weeks events have depressed me a lot. i don't know why, maybe i was good and ready to get in a funk about something, but I have lost much hope for human development in compassion understanding and fraternity.

the highs in the post refers to the massive headache i get daily from painting which i have been doing more or less since friday when i am at home. the paint isn't as strong as it used to be but with one one window open and not much circulation the bedroom stinks.

anyway i think i'll crawl back into the funk from which i came. maybe the nice weather we are supposed to get this weekend will pull me out.

Happy Birthday!!!!

To Carolyn today and Mom yesterday.

And don't forget to do your taxes.

so much to do never enough time.

yeah wish i had a week of weekends :)

Lost was really good last night making me remember why i liked the show so much in the first place.

so our trip is coming up soon but it is the furthest think from my mind... i know in may i'll start re reading my bcn books and trying to figure out what the hell the Italian train websites are saying to me.

since the quarter ended not too long ago I am swamped with work. but i am so tired that i just can't make myself be highly productive. don't get me wrong i am getting my stuff done, but usually i am able to kick it into high gear easily.

I have shin splints again. i hate when i get them... ll it takes is some moderate walking in high heels and bam! pains for a month. not good since i am now walking so much. oh and since we moved i have lost about 4 lbs... but sarah you say that is probably just water weight or stress and either way it will come back with vengeance.... shhh let me believe that this little bit of extra exercise is helping.

oh the ethan allen people called today our furniture is ready but can't be delivered until the 26 (which is ok since we need to paint) now once that is done my list of stuff to do will be a tiny bit smaller. by the way if anyone knows of people who build decks or if you can build a deck give me a call i have got a great job for you.

No Accumulation

So yesterday when all the talk circulated the office that snow was a-comin' I checked out the forecast for h-f. rain turning to snow no accumulation. I am guessing that the NOAA's definition of accumulation pertains ONLY to snow as there was about 2 inches of sleet that i trudged through all the way to the train. Over all i think that this weather blows and I can't wait for summer, but I must say that at least easter, though cold was pleasant.

We had my in laws over for some ham and potatoes and then drove brian (in the most round about way possible) to the airport.

Then i got sick. not the normal week long not feeling good sick but the fever chills achy dizzy 24 hour flu. I hate that feeling lucky for me that it only lasts about 24 hours.

Yesterday I made a kickbutt 5 spice marinade and Bill stir fried up some yummy food. other than that i was mildly successful in putting away some stuff that we were waiting on the dining room set for.

Today lost is new and that will be priority number 1 (jk) ((sorta))but really i think if it isn't too cold i'll try to clean up the basement some more that way this weekend we can PAINT!!!!! (BTW anyone who wants to is welcome in helping paint our room put up my new closet demo bills old closet and put up a new on there too.) I got good news on monday that our bedroom set should be arriving in 2-3 weeks! yay!

ok i am sure non of you really care about any of this but since my blog is only half for you and half just to get the rambling out of my mind and onto "paper" tough cookies.

to reiterate my last post

Thursday = Friday

I love when you come into work on a Thursday knowing that it is really Friday because you have tomorrow off.

Today our DSL is supposed to be up and working. Tomorrow our dish is to be installed and our one couch delivered.

Brian arrived safe and sound will all of my dining room set intact. By the way for those of you considering renting from Budget truck rental. Talk to me before you do so. I have some choice words about them and their poor customer service and lack of basic skills at the truck place.

anyway if i don't get online before Sunday Have a happy holy Easter to all who celebrate and to those who don't -go get a chocolate bunny on sale.... you can't go wrong with a chocolate bunny :)

hmmm

so the game didn't go as i had hoped but really FL is the better team and at least this OSU team came out and played. And with all the freshmen i think the team might be in a better position next year.

so last night we were able to watch the game on the big tv, but because cbs stinks we can't get their hd channel. we get nbc, abc, pbs, fox, and a bunch of other hd channels but no cbs. (we had the same problem with the superbowl.) anyway that meant that i would flip from pbs's hd history of the Viking to the regular fuzzy basketball game. needless to say i was more interested in leif ericson than fuzzy greg oden.

Right now i am currently on hold with Dish trying to add some "club dish" number to my order to give lily a referencing bonus. but so far the dumb thing has taken 20 min of my life away. this isn't a good start for dish and i hope to heaven i'll never have to call in to them again because the automated system is awful and their customer service is very lacking.

rematch

lets hope that tonight's game goes more in favor of osu that the last championship game.

this weekend was good. Bill and I bought lots of furniture for our house this weekend and while we might not have cable yet we are getting closer to a usable rec room with a tv and two "cubes" set up in our basement.

Brian comes in this week and maybe we can get started on painting the master bedroom

Easter Sunday will be my brother bobby's birthday ... he turns 20. i remember how much it sucked turning 20... esp since most on my friends were 21 at the time. sorry bobby.
