Friday Funnies

I hope that everyone has a terrific weekend. Don't forget to spring ahead on Sunday.

Three on Thursday

As the first week of March comes to an end these are the things I am currently thankful for.

1) That the shop was finally able to get a a loaner car since hubby's car is still not fixed.

2) That the shop owner told my husband someone asked him about the car yesterday so we may be able to sell it and get something else.

3)  That Preston and I managed to stay relatively dry this afternoon when I picked him up in the pouring rain.

As the first week of March begins these are the things currently on my mind.

1) How in the heck is it March already? I feel sometimes that I blink and a week has passed.

2) I have two baby blankets that I need to start knitting. One for my niece who is due in May and another for my friends who just adopted their daughter after many years of trying to become parents. At my current knitting pace I may get them done before the kids start kindergarten.

3) Preston really cracks me up. The other day he told me he wants to have a lemonade stand. He then said that he could also sell water and rocks because "people may want rocks." I don't know where he comes up with this stuff sometimes.

Here are the pictures for the week.

Sad but true.

Monday Musings

As this last week of February begins these are the things currently on my mind.

1) Well our fake spring has come to an end. We are back to temps in the 20s and we got a bit of snow yesterday. I am just glad though that we avoided the huge storm that hit the east cost.

2)  I did our taxes and our refund is less than half of what we got back last year. Has the human Cheeto made us great yet? 

3) Detroit truly is hockey town. We had 5 members of the men's gold medal team including the amazing goalie and the Hughes brothers who each scored a winning goal in the semi final and the final. Also on the women's team the woman who score the gold winning OT goal is from here. Amazing!

Ok Walmart - was it really necessary to ship this lone deodorant in this huge box?

I hope that everyone has a terrific weekend.

Wednesday Hodgepodge

Once again it is Hodgepodge time.

1. The Hodgepodge lands on Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of Lent. Do you mark this season in some way? Will you be giving something up or adding something to your life in this Lenten season? 

I am not a religious person so I do not really give anything up for Lent. I did give up social media a few years ago but haven't done anything since.

2. Pancakes...are you a fan? Syrup or no syrup? Plain, blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, or some other add in? Are pancakes on your menu this week? 

I love pancakes. I do like syrup but have also used strawberry jam when we didn't have any. I eat them plain, with blueberries and chocolate chips and walnuts. They weren't on this week's menu but I may need to change that now.

3. Tell us about a time recently when you felt 'spread too thin'. 

There isn't one specific time because I feel this way most of the tie. 

4. What's your favorite jewel or gemstone? In terms of your wardrobe would we find more gem tones, pastels, black and white, or primary colors? 

I like opals. My wardrobe would be mostly primary colors.

5. What responsibility do you think is hardest about being in charge? 

Making sure that everyone is where they need to be at he right time and that they have everything they need.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

It has been so warm here the last week or so and the snow and ice have pretty much melted except the huge piles. It was so nice to see the grass again and to not be scared of falling in the parking lot.

As this week begins these are the things currently on my mind.

1) Our temps have really warmed up and quite a bit of the snow has melted. It was nice to be able to see grass again.

2) The boys are off school today and tomorrow for mid-winter break. I enjoyed being able to sleep in morning.

3) I am really over this car issue. If I was a criminal I would pay someone to take care of it for us. However, with my luck I would get caught and end up in jail.
