an update...

I honestly feel like I'm going to be dragging Spring to my house, kicking and screaming all the way. Although it is supposed to be eighty today. However, don't let that fool you. It's dropping back to the upper forties and lower fifties the rest of the week. (and we won't even mention the rumors of a snowstorm for next week. sigh.)

In other random bits and pieces of my life, we are going here this evening. (and just for fun, if you poke around on this site, you can see a time lapsed video of them building the set. It's amazing what all you can get done in two minutes. :) )

And just to make things more challenging, here's a random question: I know there's a difference between a tornado and straight line winds, but if the damage looks the same, does it really matter what you call it?

Oops, I just realized I forgot to make someone breakfast. And they might be a bit grumpy about it. So I'd better get back to my life. Sorry about the quality of this morning's post. Blame it on pollen...

another confession...

Hi! My name is Karen and I like to drive really fast.

Oh my goodness, there's just something about a sunny, almost spring day, with not much traffic on the road and me zipping along in my little car going fifteen to twenty miles over the speed limit, singing Mighty to Save. (I'll leave out the part about lifting my hands to the heavens. It might seem a tad irresponsible. And it was only for a second or two.) Something about it makes me feel like spring is here to stay. And that, my friends, puts a little sunshine in my heart!

I hope your weekend is wonderful!

THE Dress...

(and no tears. Yet.)

I know...

...spring has arrived because I can no longer breath. Oh, allergies, how I have missed you. Honestly, all I can say is if it is allergy time, then there'd better doggone be a lot more flowers than this one. Cause if I'm gonna be all stopped up, I want something to look at other than my Kleenex box and benedryl.

Happy Friday!

serving up a cup of random...

1. I might have anticipated the arrival of spring just a bit since it's been like SIXTEEN degrees the last two days.

2. The weatherman (who is always right) assures me that temperatures will be in the 50s and 60s for the next two weeks.

3. the amount of desperation in which the dogs must either go outside or come inside is directly proportionate to how busy you are or how many things you have in your hands at any given time.

4. It appears that Josh's foray into the world of being a giant bumblebee has paid off since we have at least three baby lemons on our lemon tree.

5. Past history has shown that only one lemon will grow to adulthood.

6. Perhaps we need to hold a telethon and raise funds to help extend the infant mortality rate of our lemons.

7. My dogs seem to think that slapping or pushing their food bowls around will make me fill them faster. They might be right. Or I might be entertained by dog bowl hockey.

8. While I don't mind the taste of Pillsbury Apple Turnovers, I don't like sticking my fingers in the dough.

9. I can never find a pair of scissors when I am looking for them. Of course, I can never find a pair of scissors when I am not looking for them either. Do we even have scissors?

10. If you are looking for a great book to read, try this. Or this.

11. We are going wedding dress shopping again on Friday. I think I'm excited. We'll see when Friday gets here.

12. It's almost inventory time again at work. I am not anticipating it happily. I'm hoping that will change. (I never feel "good" about inventory until it starts. It has something to do with worrying about whether or not we have prepared enough.) Although inventory will come whether I am happy about it or not. So I might as well be happy.

13. Does it make me a bad person if I am trying to decide if I want to be productive or not today?

14. Esther is a fantastic Bible study! Beth can really bring it!

15. Do you have any moments of peripety in your life? (I can think of three.)

Oh my soul...

Spring is coming!
