Floridians live for days like these!
It's a lovely day in S. FL. Seriously! I feel for you guys up north with your 0 degree days, but when you guys are hunkering down trying to stay warm, well...it means we can go outside at noon without bringing along a gallon of water.
I'm actually sitting on my back porch enjoying the sind blowing and the lower temperatures. We don't do a lot of school this time of year because I literally toss my dc out the back door to play, lol.
Rest assured, come June, July and August we will be cramming a lot of school in. The only way I'll be able to get my dc outdoors then is if it's into the A/C of the car to the A/C of wherever we are going. And, honestly, can't say as I blame them. :-) |

Blessing my husband, because I was blessed!
Today I had to go to the doctor. UGH! Diagnosis: Double Ear Infection. Isn't that lovely? Wouldn't you like one, er, two??
So I decided to treat myself to a great big, humongous cup of Starbucks Pike with Sugar Free Cinnamon Dolce syrup. YUM. Please note that I said "Sugar Free" That's because I'm on a weight loss program and I've lost 60lbs, thankyouverymuch.
Sooooo, anyways, as I'm waiting for my order to be filled, the gentleman next to me (obviously a regular customer) asks "So, what are those cupcakes for?" Apparently he could see some cupcakes on the counter behind the baristas and they said that they were new cupcake flavors that they were tasting before they began selling them. Chocolate and red velvet cupcakes, mmmmm. Well, this very charming gentleman managed to finagle a taste for himself, quite charmingly. All the while, I was chuckling(I mentioned he was charming, right?) I went over to the condiment table to add a little sweetener and half-n-half and I hear over my shoulder "pst, come back over, I'm working a deal for you." LOL He convinced them to give me a sample taste, as well.
Now, remember that I mentioned the "Sugar Free Cinnamon Dolce" and the whole 60 lbs thing. I didn't want to appear ungrateful or rude, that whole "Southern in-breeding" and all. So what do I do??? I thought, Hey, I'll just take it home to the dc. But there are THREE of them and only 2 half pieces of cupcakes. Sigh...Oh, hey, wonder where Miguel is right now? So, I called him. Turns out he was less than 5 minutes away at the hospital w/a "client" (I'll have to explain more about dh's job in another post). So, I asked him if he'd like some cupcakes and, well, I'm the only strangoid who'd turn down cupcakes, you know. So I took him some yummy FREE cupcakes and got to steal a moment alone :-) He was so thrilled, he bragged on me to his partner, lol. I've apparently gotten quite the reputation as a "dream wife", too bad I'm not as quite as good as my reputation, sigh... |

Read Your Own Books 2009 Challenge.
Okay, so I have lots of books. Lots and lots. My beloved dh is very tolerant of my book addiction, though I understand there are people out there who have it worse than I do. I do get rid of books, mostly because I use Paperbook Swap to get more books. But I have dozens on my shelves just waiting to be enjoyed. So now I have a challenge to help me out. Of course, that doesn't preclude me from adding to the shelves, you know. LOL
So if you'd like to join in, as well, go here -
So, I've got a good start going already:
Night Light by Terri Blackstock
True Light by Terri Blackstock
Anyone want to join me?
