Where did the warm weather go?

A few mere weeks ago, the weather was beautiful; warm, sunny. Total flip flop & capri weather. Now, here I sit, freezing my butt off. It finally stopped raining, although now it’s a cold & windy 52. Thick socks and long sleeve t-shirt weather. (Maybe even sweatshirt, but some may disagree.) How I long for the warm weather.

We went to the nursery Saturday and bought flowers and shrubs for the yard. All are planted but one Gerber daisy. I also bought these cool flower containers for the front porch.

It is sooo cool.  I’m planning on putting some wave petunias in it. I bought a whurly curly for the center of each one.


Miraculously, they have all survived the cold and rain the past few days. It’s suppose to warm up by the end of the week, so hopefully they’ll last until then.

We’re celebrating 10 years married on Sunday. So Saturday we’re going to the movies and dinner. Of course picking a movie is going to be hard. Not much out there that I want to see. I guess it will be Date Night. And—not sure where we’ll head to dinner either. Some place nice but not overly nice. I really don’t want to get dressed up. :)

I’m not ready for Monday.

This weekend feels like it came and went in a blink of the eye.  I’ve been meaning to start my mornings earlier during the weekend and it’s just not happening.  So by the time I get moving, I’m not in the mood to do the things I had planned to do.

Spring is here and my garden knows it.  The tulips are coming up, the grass is getting greener and the birds are chirping like no tomorrow.  Now to muster up the energy to weed the garden, plant more grass and feed the birds.  The most I got done this weekend was buying and watching Twilight on blu-ray. LOL

Speaking of blu-ray, I am LOVING the new “sets” that Disney has – combo packs.  You get the blu-ray AND the DVD.  I actually purchased Pinocchio this way and it’s phenomenal.

While still on the geek topic, The Husband is driving me batty over his cell phone.  Picks one, doesn’t like it, picks another, not sure, picks another… and so on.  There are two cell phones I want: the lotus or the iphone.  I can’t change until October.  It’s killing me.  So not want to hear him making choices.  I want it to be my turn.

Tomorrow is a busy day — heading an hour away to the doctors with the kiddo for a pre-cert exam for the dentist that is an hour away on Wednesday.  Fun.  All because of a cavity and his inability to allow people into his mouth.  Sigh.  I am not looking forward to fighting with an almost 8 year old over letting someone fix his teeth.  :|  One can hope that this week will be a good one, but I doubt it.
