Spring has Sprung...itself the heck outta here...

Well, we had nice weather for quite a while. I mean, literally, 60 degrees plus for weeks and weeks. Everyone started believing the hype, even my poor bulbs fell for Mother Nature's cruel joke. Then out of the clear, warm blue skies. B A M! We got the biggest snow storm of the year. It is supposed to keep on going until tomorrow. This morning Jeremy went out in the backyard to get the best measurement...14 inches and it is still falling. They are predicting another 6 inches by tonight.....nearly 2 feet of snow. Ethan loves it and wants to go out and play. Since he is at a private school he has a snow day. Too bad the new Governor couldn't give the State workers a snow day. It would have been an awesome day to get out the gloves and snow boots and play in the snow and be 4 all over again. At least it is Friday and I can do that tomorrow. After this though............... I hope spring will return.

Are Buying Antiques considered Recycling??

I am lucky enough to work with some great ladies. One of them, Christina, is me but younger and cuter. We take stupid quizes and we always get the same answers. Her problem with men had always been my problem with men. Her insecurities are the same as mine. It is definitely crazy!! Anyway....we both love old things. Yesterday we decided to listen to Beach Boys radio on Pandora. It brought up the topic of antiquing and 40's and 50's cars and clothes and to Not our surprise, we were on the same page. I am currently wanting to buy these plates for my house. They are called Jadeite and they were made in the 40's and 50's,. I just love, love, love them. I also want to start building my wardrobe in order to include some fantastic period pieces. I just feel like that era was when Men were Men and Women were Women. All I have to do is talk my husband into letting me spend the money for these items and I will be set! At least now, I have a friend to go shopping with!!!!!! I know she won't be bored.

OH, how the weight creeps up!

Ok, so my husband is probably going to hate that I am including him in my blog today but I have no choice, really. I have always really loved the show, The Biggest Loser. It is like I watch it to get motivated and still do nothing about it. It is getting rather rediculous. When Jeremy and I met, we were fit and well, lighter. Happiness and marriage has put on a few extra pounds that we desperately want to get rid of. We used to be a hot couple, now we are still hot to each other, but to the World, I fear we are more along the lines of fluffy than hot. In this never ending sea of diets, it is so hard to know what is right or wrong or what is too fast or what is so slow that you lose motivation. What works for me, doesn't work for him. I think we are both so sick and tired of being overweight and know we need to do something..........we just need to figure out what we can do that will motivate and inspire us to get up at 5 am and work our butts off. Hmmmmmmm.......hopefully by summer I can report some good news. Let me know if you have any tips or ideas of greatness for our quest. Thanks!!!!!

Yesterday was Valentine's Day

I have a 4 year old boy named Ethan. A little background on this scenario is that for the past 2 years, Ethan has attended Preschool through the Carson City School District. In that class was a little girl named Maya. He LOVES Maya. They have gotten to know each other quite well and lo and behold, Maya can no longer attend that school. Ethan was devastated! Ethan also attends Bethlehem Lutheran Pre-Kindergarten in the mornings. One day he came home to announce Maya was in his new class. Oh, the puppy love continues. Yesterday was Valentines Day and he came to me with his hands out and said, "Mommy, Today is Vawentines Day and the pwobwem is.......the pwobwem is....I didn't get Maya anyfeen. She is my Vawentine and she neeeeeeeeds somefeen." I asked him what he wanted me to get her and he replied with NO hesitation, "Fowers and Tandy." Aren't they too precious. I can't believe this is starting already. He isn't even 5 for Heaven's Sake! At least, I hope, he will be a romantic....what a ladies man.
