Spent my Wednesday looking for something to wear to the baby shower. I must be the only woman in Vermont who can spend 2.5 hours in the mall and not buy a single thing. So then I went to a small shop and found at really pretty green top in a leaves pattern. It will serve!
Kaffir lilies! Ours (multiplied from a gift one years and years ago) are doing well too.
My condolences re Uncle Tim, cat. Chronic dialysis is a hard road.
I just finished figuring out our federal tax return; some new-to-me forms and worksheets this year, but the bottom line is I set aside enough for what we owe (and some more--kind of a DIY refund), even with replacing our car that was totaled. (The jobs I had for the Navy came in awful handy car-wise.) State return tomorrow night. Beautiful day today (Wednesday), rumors of rain for the next several days, temperatures in the high 70's. We will see.
Puddle, just saw the weather forecast you posted on FB. BRRR!
I must say, though, from a purely writerly point of view I got something of a kick out of it. Overcast with a chance of snow and rain. A chance of snow and rain after midnight. *scratches head* Erm... Does that mean you have double the ordinary chance of snow and rain? I mean, rather than 80%, shouldn't it be 160%? I think perhaps they should give meteorologists a class in basic English skills.
It just means they separate the dates and forecasts at midnight. Sure do love the term "Winter Weather Advisory" being used after the Spring equinox. ;-). Should be called a Spring Snow Advisory or a Sugar Snow Event.
Spouse is waffling on whether we should spend the money to have the kids come to see me in the play. Oh for the love of--this is my first lead role. Ever! Yeah, money is tight, as always, but, come on, I'm playing CHARLOTTE in Charlotte's Web!
Dean has the Glory 'round here!
ReplyDeleteSorry this popped up late. I had inadvertently posted two for April 5th and none for the 4th! Ha! We're good now.

ReplyDeleteONE more seam and the quilt top is shower-ready!
Shower-ready, eh? Sorry, but I can't help wondering if that means it's waterproof?
DeleteBaby shower, lol! And considering how leaky babies are, waterproof seems like a good idear, eh?
DeleteWell it's 100% cotton: machine wash and tumble dry or hang to dry. :-)
DeleteLOL Puddle
