My Hair is Getting Long Again

Gosh, I am sooooo pale now. I need to get tanning again. Maybe I should just embrace my Irish roots! I am 35 and I have a pimple right on my left cheek. NICE!

Updates

Valetine's Day was good. We went out to dinner and had a nice time. I got my hot pink iPod nano! Yay! I spent all day Saturday transferring all my files to it. I will post a pic of me and my new gift very soon.

Mitch and I drove Zach to New Jersey yesterday to meet up with his Aunt Christy. He will spend the week in Virginia like he does most February vacations.

Mitch and I decided to drive along the coast of New Jersey back to NYC. We had fun. There is nothing from Philly to Atlantic City along the coast. Rodeos and car farms...this was along Rt. 9. Just towns where the nicest house on Main St. is usually the local funeral home. It was just really hard to believe that that stretch of the road is just an hour from a major city in one direction and about two in the other. Atlantic City was cool as always.

It was good to get back home. Rhode Island coast definitely beats the Jersey shore!

I am enjoying a relaxing day at home. It is 56 degrees outside. It is supposed to get to almost 60. Very breezy though.

I need some coffee to wake up. Grocery shopping today. UGH!

The Funniest Thing...

...that I've heard in awhile...or Ode to King Richard...

"Okay, hun, if you TELL me you're lying about the size of my penis, then it kind of defeats the PURPOSE of lying about the size of my penis."

I love photobooth! I love iTunes radio, I just have to say. Nothing like a little Mr. Roboto to aid in blogging.

It was a good weekend. I bought a new pair of Gap ballet flats. Soooo cute. I love them.

Winter arrived this morning! It is beautiful and sunny, but windy and only 13 degrees!!! It has been in the high 40s and 50s quite steadily and even in the 60's on two days...so the crispness of the air this morning was a bit of a take-your-breath-away-quite-literally kind of a surprise! It actually feels good. In Maine it is like that almost daily in January and February. Not a cloud in the sky though. It is so very beautiful out. The wind is howling. It has been all night. So what did I do? Put in Stephen King's Storm of the Century, of course!!! The temp is supposed to crawl back up to the 40's by this afternoon, so I will enjoy "winter" while it lasts. I got to wear my ski jacket this morning and actually feel comfortable in it. Usually I wear it and then get way too hot if I do any kind of moving around in it.

I just updated my personal/work/special events calendar on my computer with the information all color coded. Can we say OCD?

Oh well, I am going to enjoy my cozy, baby it's cold outside, day off!

I have the next 2 1/2 days off. Yay! I need a break. I think we are going shopping tomorrow at the outlets. That should be fun. If we don't do that, we'll head to CT to visit my sister and fam.

Well, it is almost 11. I have no idea how that happened. It was just 6:30, I swear! Time for sleepy.

A Little Time To Myself

I am home alone with the dog! I don't believe it! The kids are at school, Mitch is at work...no tv blaring or disgusting country music coming out of my daughter's room. Just quiet. The dog isn't even snoring. I do hear the fog horn every 15 seconds in the distance. The fog is thick today. It is supposed to be up near 60 degrees today. It IS February right???

I am going to take a shower, mess around on the computer, read the paper, do the crossword puzzle and pretty much spend my day relaxing. I will run my errands when I get the kids from school.

I was just looking at pics of my little cousin Melanie's two babies. They remind me of when she and her two sisters were our (me and my sister's) babies! I was 8 when she was born, age 10 with Kacie and 11 or 12 with Jamie. My sister and I spoiled them silly on school vacations, summers and family gatherings.

2/5/08

I am enjoying the mild 50-degree weather these days. Ultimately, I believe I have found the perfect living conditions. Little to no snow during the winter in COASTAL Rhode Island. They get some snow about 20 minutes north of here, but it really only rains in Narragansett. Zach was still swimming in the ocean the last weekend in October. It was still 40 and 50-degrees in December, even though we did get a dusting of snow for Christmas. January got a bit cold. 30's mostly. I love experiencing all 4 seasons which is what keeps me from moving only where it is hot. My least favorite thing about Maine is that the winters are so long. Just 5 hours south and the winters are manageable, even though a smaller amount of snow can shut down the state. Mainers would laugh that three inches of snow could close businesses and schools.

I have Wednesday and Friday off this week. Yahoo! And Sunday thru Tuesday, too. I still will have worked about 50 hours though. Lots of money to be had, so I am taking it. I am buying Mitch dvd players for the Suburban for Valentine's Day. That is what he said he wanted. Hopefully I get a cutesie hot pink iPod Nano, with something sweet engraved on the back. My old iPod is archaic and Mitch's is new but bigger because it is the video one. I bought his for him last Valentine's Day and he said I could just use his. He only uses it when he is on the road, but I want a new hot PINK one! I could use the kids' too, but I want a new hot PINK one!

I need my hair trimmed. Maybe on Wednesday.

It is 8:30 PM and 50 degrees out. Strange winter we're having!

I am tired after working an extremely long day. Maybe I will blog tomorrow.
