The Journey begins here...So Get your ass in gear for march madness

Sun - my hubs acted the same way when I had chemo. He didn't know what to do.
I have been working on my laptop for a few hours after going shopping, so I am going to rest for a few...maybe a nap.
Then off the Nana's for Sunday dinner......family bday celebration from my oldest, Grant. He will be 19 Wednesday. I cannot believe it. I look at him and still see the moptop reaching up to me.
Everyone sounds great..
Nora - one won't make him mad but he knows I can't stop at one......
Wedding shopping!!!!! Again - I am glad I have boys!!
Thinking of you today Biz...Ryan must be close to my son's age.....

Rog- how did Anthony's test go??

Swannie, just bringing those smiling little sunny faces of daffodils inside always makes me feel better. I have one bunch that have pink centers. Love them!!
After the daffs, my lilies start, and they bloom so prolifically. Love the big pinks. Then the wildflowers, hydrangas. Also have crinums, which I stole from my brother after he inherited our parent's home. (Don't get me started!!) She got sick in August, and those flowers bloomed until November, like a gift to her. She could look out her bed and see them.
RC, thank you for that website for seed exchange. I LOVE heirloom plants. Have Hubs grandmother's Christmas cactus, had to rescue it from a neighbor who had ended up with it. It was her mother's, so probably 100 years old. My orchids are just FABULOUS right now. They need a lot of care (I have several) but they're worth it.

Hello, family. Haven't had time to read back, so hope everyone is doing ok. I am racing time to finish the front yard before it gets too cold here, so might be absent for a while. However, I'm missing you all so I'll really make the effort to come online when I can.
Take care and lots of love.

We miss you Mish!!! GREAT talk with Swannie today, and I believe she's gaining some confidence. At least I hope so. Love you, little bird!!
Rog, it's amazing what we find when we pull up the covering, isn't it?? Well, take pictures, show the customer, document what needs to be done. Cover your bases, babe. We know putting a bandaid on something doesn't fix the bigger problem. That way with everything in life, really.
Swannie, I LOVED talking to you today. Your sweet little voice fits you perfectly. You know you have lifeguards here. And a place to let your heart trust for a change. Believe, little girl. This is the real deal, people who care about you.
Hubs actually stayed up til 10:45 tonight!! He's usually asleep by 8!! I put on a movie he got involved in, and kept sneaking peeks to see if he was asleep. I've been torturing him today, sitting in his lap, tickling his ears, making him crazy. I can be SO sassy with him, and he doesn't know which way to turn. :H
Have to drive BMW to ATL tomorrow for service. Hope they have WiFi. They're very nice, bring me hot drinks, snacks if I want, but it's still a long drive and a long wait. Sorry, not really something to complain about.
MB, let those boys/men wear wrinkled shirts a while, they'll learn to iron. Or take their stuff to a cleaner. For about $1 a piece, I can't launder, dry, and iron. MIL thinks I'm a real sludge for doing it, but who cares.
Biz, my heart goes out to you today for your loss. It never goes away, does it? But he is always in your heart.
Time to try for some sleep. Have to get up early. Love you guys!!!!

Goodmorning everyone, I hope that you had a nice weekend. I had a great time ice fishing (windy like crazy, very cold) lots of fun though. I ended up driving another guy and his truck home - imagine that, me being the DD - whod'a thunk.

Have a great week everyone,
Hill

RC - hope your day went well yesterday...... Jan - hope you had a restful day yesterday - then back to the grind today!! Good morning Bird and Grateful!

Morning Jammers!
Day went well yesterday. I got slightly lost and slightly late, but that's nothing new. The best part was getting a text to see if I'd made it home.
Biz, so sorry about your loss. That is a tough one, but yes you will see your precious angel one day. I know how that hope helps.
SSH-lovely to hear you finding joy in those bright little daffodils. A sign of spring and a new season of growth and beauty. (hugs)
Nora wonderful that you are comfy in the folds of family. Soak it up and let it sustain you in difficult times. xo
Hill it was really cold here too. Daughter has her trees tapped and only getting droplets of sap so far.
Ruby have a nice day roading it!
Little Miss Sunshine--hope you get that nap. You really do wear me out with your daily agendas.
Mama kisses to you. You are doing doing so well with all on your plate too. x
Where's our champion Trucker?? Hope you did something fun this weekend.
T-have fun with your new power tools and hope that job goes well for you.
Hello to each and everyone! Off to make a good day!
xoxo

Putting off the inevitable, really dread the drive. I'm SUCH a hermit these days. It's good for me to get out and about, though, so I'll talk to you guys later. Be good to yourselves!

Well, it's official. Waiting 3 hours in a car dealership is at the bottom of my list!! It was cold, crowded. I had some nice orange cinnamon tea, and got caught up on Entertainment News TV. $150 poorer, the car was ready half an hour before I finally got out. Tried to convince me to have 3 more services ($169, $139, $129 respectively!). No sale.
I finally get home, they've closed lanes on the by-pass for (you guessed it!) construction. One bright spot; stopped by the grocery, talked the manager out of 2 pots of spent lilies. So next year, there will big, fragrant pink lilies. Can't stand seeing people waste good bulbs.

Then I get home, make 50 trips to car, and when I opened my kitchen cloth drawer, a MOUSE had been in it. ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! Now I have to wash all the linens, and deal with setting traps. BTW, have had some funny mouse exp's. When we lived in our first house, we had a mouse that Hubs treated like an arcade game. He had a pellet pistol, would sit and shoot at it when it ran across the floor. Then we had one recently who tripped the trap but wasn't touched, but still died, I guess of a heart attack. Caught one by the tail, and he was running through the cabinets, dragging the trap. Then we caught 2 itty bitty ones in the same snap trap. Lawdy! Sounds like we have been infested with them. It just happens once or twice a year. The only time it creeped me out, Hubs yelled and asked if I'd put a RAT (not a mouse) in the toilet. NO!!! Son was staying with us a few days, and he said he'd seen it too, thought it was Tinker!:H Oh well, I guess the snakes under the house will get 'em.
