Back when I was a kid.

It kinda cracks me up when they cancel school for a little bit of snow. Where I went to school in southern Oregon we rode a school bus 45 minutes each way, over a mountian in deep snow. We even had to put chains on the bus to get over the pass sometimes. There were days that the fuel in the bus would gel up from the cold. No, it wasn't up hill both directions. So when they cancel school for a little snow we just laugh. I like the snow for a day or two but now I am tired of it. Hurry up spring! Bring on the sunshine!!!

Snowday!

I have signs everywhere. The one above my sink says Lamb's coffee and donuts. It is an original sign from the first restaurant at the Oregon State Fairgrounds. Cool find for me, huh? I like the eggs, milk and butter sign, too. It makes me think of cake or brownies. But I'm on a diet so it should say hummus, carrots, and fiber. How do you like the Simplify sign? At my house it should say clutter and complicated. One that I really like says "Because nice matters". I need that one to remind me to not make fun of fat people. (cuz I am one) But I am working on that.

Girl Day!

Today was a good day. Stephanie and her two daughters Cassidy and Brandie and myself just needed an adventure. So we loaded up and headed out and weren't sure where to go. First we went to Courtney Creek in Lebanon for more candles. Then we headed to Albany and stopped at the Goodwill . We found a couple of treasures that we had to have. All this shopping made us hungry. After lunch we headed to Ruthie B's in Springfield. Stephanie hadn't ever been there so it was really fun to show it all to her. There was soooo much to look at. We even found some familar faces there. Now I need to clean my house so I can put out my new treasures. Can't wait for another girl day!

All Better Now

Today I woke up still with this cold. But I was a good girl and got on the treadmill. The little ones were gone to daycare until noon. But when they got here it was like a hurricane hit. They were snotty, bratty mean little tazmanian devils. They were driving me crazy. It was too cold to be outside for long so they were terrorizing me in this house. Just when I was about to explode, we loaded them in the pickup to run an errand. It took less than 2 miles and they were all three asleep. So, one errand led to a cute little shop I like to go to. Inside was a vender just unloading her treasures for sale. I naturally couldn't resist two primitive shelves, a jar and a candle. Back inside the pickup (with their mom) were the little taz devils, still sleeping but transforming into little angels. With a smile on my face cuz of my new stuff, we stopped and got some "bug juice". I took the little angels home. Now I am cleaning up the mess they left and can't wait to see their cute little faces tomorrow.
