We had the best weekend - it was soooooo beautiful outside, and we did lots of fun yard work - planted flowers, mowed with the groovy new John Deere (yessssssssss!), got our redneck pool set up. Ryan was on spring break and was here, and we just hung out and had a blast. Marshall is working in Texas City for the next couple of months, so he is getting home early on Fridays and leaving late on Sundays - it is a very nice change. I sat and watched a roadrunner for about 15 minutes today in the front yard - they are SUCH cool birds - and their mannerisms are just like the cartoon Road Runner.

I had a cigarette breakdown, and had one in an otherwise empty pack in my purse last night. I spent the evening pondering when I was going to smoke it, either that night, or save it for the morning. So, I got up out of bed last night about 11, went for my *one* cig, and pulled it out of the pack and it had some flower stickers on it and a message - April Fools! It took me a minute to figure out that Zoe had thrown it away and replaced it with a rolled up piece of paper. OMG I thought I would kill her. Addiction sucks.

So, this week I have soooooo much going on. Next Sunday (Easter), I leave for Toronto. My dearest Suzzann is coming on Thursday from Nashville for a week and a half visit, and to watch my kiddies for the 5 days I am gone (since my local friend had the little incident last week and is moving). I can’t wait to see Suz - and I can’t wait for Toronto too - I have never been to Canada. But man, do I have a lot to do. Groceries, laundry, housecleaning, need to get my car inspected before I go, and make sure my laptop has all my work stuff properly loaded up. And I have to harass Century 21 for a letter for the tax man. And I have to finish our taxes. Oy. And scrape up some shopping money for my trip. Toronto is a shopping heaven! I don’t see where Jeremy planned any shopping time for me though, so I am going to have to come up with something. Not trading beer drinking night for shopping, so I guess it will have to be a meeting or something.

Enough babbling, I hope you had a great weekend too!
