Winter is coming back....

Morning all,

So it's the end of March right??? So why are the weathermen all forcasting 6 to 12 inches of snow for Friday?  I am done with winter.  My crocusses are all budding.  It's been fun to watch my yard this spring because as some of you know we just moved into our new home at the end of August.  We have no idea what is planted and where it's planted.  Sor far we have crocusses and we have other things starting.  They look like they may be some daffodils and some tulips.  I am full of anticipation.  I have my little notebook already to write down but blooms and where so I can plant more or move things around.  :)   I want to trim back some bushes for sure.  Two of them are about to start covering up the front bedroom windows and I don't want that.  We may even pull them out and plant some new ones. 

My family has (knock on wood) spent a whole week without one of us being sick.  I hope I don't jinx our good fortune.  LOL  I have been sick on and off since the week between Christmas and New Years.  It has been a good feeling the last week and I want it to continue.  I still have the darn cough still lingering but even that is getting better.

I am very proud of myself today.  Last night I completely cleaned my scrapdesk and surrounding flat surfaces.  I think this weekend I will make my husband believe it's his idea to go to Ikea.  I love this store, but I think he loves it even more.  It probably won't be hard to persuade him to think he suggested going there.  I just know that I need a place to store my ever growing stash of punches.  (Mostly Martha Stewart punches)  I am addicted to them.  I cleaned because I want to start a whole new project and I never start a new project without putting EVERYTHING away first.   Are any of you like that?

So I usually do a Thankful Thursday (when I do one) but I never know when I will be back so I am going to do it today.  Here goes:

I am thankful for:

1.  Feeling healthy again,
2.  Having my scrap area clean and ready to create again,
3.  Having good friends
4.  Being loved by my family who have been my rocks through the last few months.

What are you thankful for???

Talk to you all soon,  Pam

So you know when people say they feel like they've been hit by a mack truck...

Well, I know how they feel.  I have had the flu.  3 weeks of having the flu.  I still have the cough.  People are telling me it lasts for a long time.  Great, everytime I cough, I feel like my head is going to explode.  But I shall live.

The new job is going well.  I am loving the people I work with and the new clients as well.  I can usually get along with anyone and everyone but you know how it feels to be the "new" girl. 

Some of you already know that my daughter is graduating from College this year.  She attends Framingham University.  Well we got notice yesterday (we already knew but it's nice to see on paper) that she is graduating Magna Cum Laude.  I can not tell you just how proud of that girl I am.  She had lots of things going on in her freshman and junior year that could have set her back but she overcame them all and did well in spite of (him) them.  She will be going on to get her masters degree.  She has made me such a proud mama.  And she has daddy wrapped around her little finger as well.

Speaking of daddy.  Tom and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary this past weekend.  We celebrated by going to our most favorite restaurant..  I had lobster pie, Tom had scallops.  It was all so delicious.  We decided when the weather gets better here we are going to go away for a weekend.  We haven't decided where yet.  Got any suggestions?

Those of  you that follow my blog will see me more often here.  I think I started my blog a little earlier than I was prepared for.  I planned to be here so much more often but things happen.......  Thanks Tracey for the push to get back over here.  I spent about an hour over at your blog yesterday getting caught up on you.  I totally agree that I wouldn't have been able to wait to pick up my stampin up order.  :) 

Okay, it's early here so I need to finish up my coffee and get to work.  I will be back tomorrow for my thankful thursday.  Stay tuned........  much more to come.

Talk to you all soon.

Pam
