Today....I hit a pole

It was a dark and rainy morning....ha ha. Actually the storms knocked over our basketball goal this morning after Chris had left for work. The goal just happened to be right behind the garage door, effectively blocking me in. So, my brilliant idea was to gently push it with the back bumper of my car until I could maneuver around it. The previous owners of our house had put their basketball goal in concrete, so that when the winds blew it over, it left a cement filled pole sticking up about 2 feet out of the ground. Yeah, you can't really see it from the drivers side of a car. Especially if you are focusing on the basketball goal behind you and the bicycles to your left, and the torrential rain, and....OK, FINE, I hit the blasted thing. (This word is nicer than the one I used earlier) Now I have a lovely dent and scrape in my car.

I should have called in sick!

With friends like these...

So, yesterday was my birthday. This verse was printed inside a card I received from a friend of mine. (back of card says it was written by Susan Malachowski for Leanin Tree, dont want to break any laws here)

Do the boobs sorta droop and
the buns sorta sag?
Has the chin multiplied
and the eyes kinda bagged?
Do your legs kinda ripple
as you run toward the fridge?
Have your maidenhood tresses
turned into drab frizz?
Lets face it, you're labeled,
and there just ain't no cure,
but for diplomacy's sake
let's just say you're
MATURE!
Thanks to Charmion, I feel SOOOOOO loved!
Oh and her link is to the right, let her know how clever you think she is.

Sooooo NOT funny

This weekend was absolutely beautiful here. The weather hit low to mid 70's and we played outside. I even had doors and windows open. I started looking at my dead empty flower beds and planning what to plant, began thinking about new trees and rose bushes, putting some turf builder on the lawn....but then...

overnight a 40 degree (!!!!) temperature drop and forecasts calling for SNOW. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! That is just wrong. Remember back in the 80's when you'd tell someone something really cool and then go PSYCH! Spring just gave us a big ol' PSCYH and turned away.
