Yikes! I didn't realize it had been such a long time since my last blog! I've been enjoying a relaxing week off with the most gorgeous weather I can ever remember for a spring break. It's been warm and mostly sunny all week. We were supposed to get some much needed rain yesterday, but most of it blew east. It's cooler today, but still seasonable. Geoff's b-day is on Monday, so he's coming home for dinner (and cash) on Sunday. Lia and I chose yesterday for a movie day due to the anticipated rain. We saw "Alfie" (thumbs down) "Sideways" (crass, but funny) and the "Incredibles" (funny and entertaining and good clean fun). I've also been doing some cleaning in small installments. I can't believe all the pet hair and dust. . .oh, wait; yes I can! All the critters are great. They all really enjoy having L and me home.
Better late than never -Monday Madness!

Just a friendly reminder: If you have questions you'd like to see posted here, please feel free to email me!! Thanks!The following questions all begin with Where you live...1. ...did you have to turn your clocks forward one hour this weekend?2. ...what is the price of gasoline?3. ...which natural disasters, if any, do you have to worry about?4. ...do you have a local newspaper, and if so, do you subscribe to it?5. ...do you subscribe to a local cable company for television viewing?6. ...what is the speed limit on your road/street?7. ...how far do you have to drive to the nearest post office?8. ...what is the average temperature in April?9. ...what is the average temperature in December?10. ...are your four seasons drastically different from one another?
1. Yes! Thank god I have a week off work to adjust!
2. $2.35 a gallon.
3. The ever popular "lake effect" weather is the big thing here!
4. we do not currently subscribe. We have an ongoing battle with our paper. We can go online to read it if we want.
5. We get robbed monthly for both cable TV and internet.
6. Our road is a one-block cul-de-sac. The speed limit is not marked, hence it is 25 mph, but there isn't really enough time or space to go any faster.
7. We have an "official" postal location about a mile and a half from our house, but the actual post office is about 4 miles from us,
8. Average temp in April is in the 40-50 range, but it can be anything from 20-80. I have had spring break start with a winter storm and weather so warm we can open the house up!
9. Average temp in december is probably from 10-30 degrees.
10. In a good year our seasons are technically "drastic," but sometimes it seems like we go right from winter to summer. Autumn is usually more gradual. This year we have the beginnings of a beautiful spring.
