Hello March

Or better known (around here at least) as my birthday month .. Yep month ..

*disclaimer*  This post it brought to you by late evening ramblings and Whipped Cream vodka and cranberry juice LOL..

March is coming in like a lion - we are in the middle of a winter storm warning and its snowing them some ice mixed in... boo hiss..  I hope this means the end of March goes out like a lamb. I'm flat sick of being cold and bundled up.. I want to paint my toe nails pretty colors and throw on flip flops and maxi skirts and feel the sun warm me up..

I meant to blog Friday and do the usual Friday letters but it was beyond busy at the office and I juggled calls and paperwork all day them came home to log on and finish up so that I was not starting Monday behind the 8 ball.

Later Friday evening I received a call from my daughter and we ended up talking until midnight - that has NEVER happened.. Here's hoping to a better mother/daughter relationship than we have had in the past. She did let me know that even though we have this crappy snow storm coming that my mother is hell bent on going to the dinner theater Sunday night and wanted to know if I wanted to go with her.

At first I said no, I have a ton of paperwork to catch up on and the weather is going to suck. Saturday I find out shes STILL planning on going. My Mother is going to be 72 this month and on her best day her driving is scary as hell, so I told her if it was possible to go and they don't cancel I will go BUT I AM DRIVING HER. I hate to say this but I am praying its cancelled..

I usually don't like KS Wizzard of Oz jokes - honestly most of us here don't LOL but this came across my facebook feed today and I loved it..

Have a great rest of your weekend!! 

Happy Monday .... 37 Days til Spring

Yep Happy Monday - trying to keep a positive outlook .. Try it, you may find it working...

37 day's til Spring - I will say I hope Mother Nature and Old Man Winter got the memos.. I've been cold and snowed in far to long now. Today is another work from home day since my complex did not bother to remove the 2 inches of fresh snow we got yesterday, hell they didn't even salt. So my low to the ground car tried and tried this morning but would not, cold not get up the small hill. Thankfully I am in a position to work from home. Though I am really now lusting after 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive.

This weekend was fairly quiet just chilling at the house, reading and catching up on the DVR. Sunday we did venture out to get groceries before the the snow dumped again.  Yes it was only 2 inches - but that's on top of the 14 that was already out there and the freezing temps. I did however hear a rumor that soon warmer temps are on the way!! I'm sure D will happy when I am not running the fireplace almost every night. Its a gas fireplace and I am sure when I light it his brain just starts thinking cha ching over and over until its turned off. That and he says it makes him too warm. At least its made it to 11 degrees - its noon but its 11 degrees LOL.

My cough that was left from having the flu is finally subsiding so I am hoping to get back into my workout routine this week.. Why is is so hard to get back into the swing of things when you have been resting for 3 weeks?? I am already sitting here thinking "I don't wanna". I know that it will be easier once I "just do it". I was in a really good pattern until I got sick. I was working out 5 to 6 days a week.. Now to get back to there..

Best pic of the weekend: He rarely gets to chill on my bed...

Have a great Monday Y'all!!

Weekend Shenanigans

Friday night was a quiet night at home after I went and picked up some cold weather gear for the 5k the next day.


Saturday I wake up to temps in the teens and seriously question my sanity..  But I really wanted the experience  medal... Whats not to want it has Tiara's on it!!  I did finish pretty decent considering it was my first one back from surgery in November  and it was 19 degrees out (it was ok cold my protein bar froze as I was trying to eat it). Official time was 47:33.7 (race was done in waves I started about 13 minutes into the race - but it was chip timed so thats where my official time comes from) I'll take it.

After the race I hit the Starbucks drive through and ordered a 55 gallon drum of Soy Latte then headed home to change so I could run to the mall (got my Mama's birthday present) pick a few things up a CVS and run the Hubs some lunch before the snow storm hit..

Saturday night was a lets stay warm and catch up on the DVR night, plus soreness was starting to set in.

Sunday I woke up to 8 inches of snow... Yeck and HOLY SHIN SPLINTS BAT MAN.. I was expecting them with it being the first race of the season but I stepped out of bed and couldn't decide if I wanted to cuss like a Fleet of Sailors or bawl like a toddler who is told Cheerios are no longer made.

I did manage to vacuum the house late Sunday afternoon - other than that I ate Ibuprofen like tic tacs (it was on my shopping list as "metric shit ton of Ibuprofen"), read my kindle and watched TV.  Hubs shoveled out both cars, ran to the store and made me my fave potato sausage soup.. Thanks baby!!

How was your weekend??
