Morning all! Just swept the floors and mopped. The house smells like Pine-Sol Lemon and Murphy's Oil. Much better than the clammed up, windows not open smell. Argh where is the spring?

Speaking of spring, my neighbor called last night and informed me we will start working on the pond in March. He also informed me we are hitting the local nursery in April. He's such a ham and keeps me organized. LOL It does give me something to look forward to and a promise of better weather to come.

Hope everyone is having a good day. Mom just yelled out she can get a flight for $40. LOL

She really is an eager beaver to get back home! Bless her heart!! Wonder if a parachute comes with that ticket??

I've spent the morning on the hunt for DS a suit. Why do size 16/18 boys suits look like something a pimp would wear?? The ones at Penney's look like mobster style. I'm thinking he's going in dress pants/shirt/tie. Tomorrow I check out Kohls.

Our warm weather is flipping back to freezing and messy precipitation by Friday. My poor flower bulbs must be getting so confused. Some are already putting up green shoots.

Good afternoon, everyone...I've been lurking a bit...reading all posts, but can't remember a darn thing posted...I went for my 12 week post op checkup...and I've been released!! Yahoo!! I can exercise, swim, and other stuff DH is thrilled beyond belief...I went out to look the pond over, and the heater had gone off The circuit breaker had been tripped, but it won't stay off...so I plugged an extension cord in and we'll see if the heater works after a couple of hours...poor fishies...My senate candidate for Illinois didn't win in the primary* I hate holding my nose when I vote...he was one of the honest ones...We're going to have my inlaws over for their anniversary this weekend. 66 years...my gosh, I can't imagine living with someone that long...I'm going to make one of their favorites that they never get anymore...cabbage rolls, mashed potatoes, and sweet corn. Simple enough...then we'll play cards...it gets them out of their place for an evening, and they don't have to worry about spilling down the front (FIL) or trying to interprete what we're saying by lip reading (MIL), at least in a public place. Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday evening!!

By the way, isn't this thread becoming long? Isn't it about time for a new, updated version?
