Easter Weekend?

Here's a cute thing that P sent me a while back. There are a lot of us that can identify with it!
You couldn't tell it's Easter around here, or spring, either. Our weather has been nice the last couple of weeks. Nice and warm and sunny. We had a little bit of rain last night. This morning it is cloudy, dreary, cold, and now there are snowflakes coming down! It's not enough to do anything, it's not sticking, just cold.
P is off to his writer's workshop. Then he has his book signing this afternoon at B. Dalton's from 2-4. I'm getting my hair cut at 2, then I'll go out there. E got his truck this morning, so he loaded up the two chairs we're getting rid of to take them to his friend. He may be home later, if he doesn't have to work today. He's changing his hours to 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. But I guess that will only be temporary. He says the store is going to start closing at midnight instead of being open 24 hours, but I don't know when that will start. They are supposed to start remodeling soon, too. It's supposed to be set up like the Wal Mart by us, but they don't have as much floor space, so he doesn't know how they're going to do that.

I need to go out and cash a reimbursement check I got from work for buying office supplies. I may take the van instead of my new car if this weather keeps up.

The two dogs and two cats are in the house, for now. They wouldn't stay outside very long, anyway, with it being so cold. I guess I'll have to get my coat out again.

E is back and there is still a problem with his truck, so we're going to take it back. TTFN

Busy, busy, busy!

It's been busy since my last posting, about six weeks? This used to be a relatively normal time of the year, but not any more!

Just got back last weekend from our trip to Nebraska to see Mom. It was a fruitful visit. Got to see Mom's apartment, do a few things for her. We visited the nursing home where she was just before we left to come back home. She was going to be spending the weekend there while my brother and sister-in-law were out of town. I was impressed with the nursing home, very clean, bright atmosphere, friendly people. She's made a few friends since she moved to Nebraska.

I am now the proud owner of a 2007 Mustang, my dream car. I have wanted one since they first came out with this model in 2005. Auntypesty is insisting that she drive it, but I know she just wants to race it. I just love driving it around town. And I agree with the salesperson that said most of the sales of Mustangs are to people who have had one before. It just has a beautiful look to it, doesn't it?! But it is just a thing that can be replaced.

Easter weekend is here. We're both off work tomorrow. Looking forward to a three-day weekend.
