Is it gonna snow ?



Well here we are, the 7th day of March, no snow all winter other than a few flakes and now we have snow in the forecast for tonight(only a dusting though). Living in the South all my life I'm used to this, it'll be 30 degrees one day then 70 the next (this is probably why I have touch of a cold now). Our seasons are really crazy, I always say we never have weather that is just right for many days throughout the year. It seems to go from one extreme to the next. Ohhhh to live in a place where it was 70 to 80 degrees all year, that'd be lovely.

About the snow, I always laugh when going to the grocery store if the word snow has been mentioned in the forecast, people go so crazy. And I have never understood why it's milk and bread these people are mostly buying. I guess it's just something that is passed down from one generation to the next , we learn from our mother's and grandmother's , it's gonna snow, better run and get milk and bread. Today I went grocery shopping not because of the predicted snow storm (haha) but because we needed groceries. As I go down the dairy isle I try to think, do we have enough milk or not. I decide not to get any , of course I get home and see we did in fact need some. So, I will get my dear husband to pick up some on the way home from work, and he can be the one that people are looking at saying " haha, that man thinks its going to snow, look at him buying milk".

The Letter D




D is for doll. This is a doll that belonged to my step-grandmother, in fact it's the first doll she ever got. I think she's so neat and in great shape to be 70 yrs old. I only have one problem with the doll though, Molly (my youngest child) is scared of the doll, she says she's creepy so the poor doll has to live in my closet.
The other day when I got the doll out to take this picture I left her sitting on my bed. Molly came in from school, after a while she went in my bedroom, next thing I know she came storming through the living room. Haha ... she saw the doll sitting on the bed! Funny how kids can be over certain things. I am proud of my doll though even if Molly isn't.

The Letter C



The letter C is for clock. I guess you're wondering why I have a picture of my alarm clock here. Well, the reason is to remind everyone that this Sunday (March 9) at 2 am is when daylight saving time begins. So don't forget to move those clocks forward one hour before you go to bed Saturday night. I am really excited about this because I love sunshine so of course having more of it each day will be great!
Also don't forget those batteries in your smoke detectors, time to change those also.
Hope everyone has a great spring, I know I'm sure looking forward to it.

The Letter B


B is for Basket

There aren't alot of things I just love for myself but I do have a weakness for baskets, of course I love old antique baskets but I also love Longaberger baskets, that is one thing I guess you could say I collect. The fact that they're handmade here in the United States is great. I would love to get to take a trip to Dresden, Ohio and get to see the place the baskets are made, maybe someday....If you're interested in checking out their website, here ya go : http://www.longaberger.com/

I got down my baskets yesterday to take a picture for this post, our silly cat (Sara) is so nosey. She always has to check out the situation anytime you start doing anything it seems. Notice her peeping out of one of my baskets. She just loves getting in things, whether its a box, bag, basket, etc. I didn't plan on getting her in the picture but I couldn't do anything but laugh at her when I saw her peeping out like that at me. We just love her, she's such a great cat!

Alphabet Challenge

I decided to do an alphabet challenge after seeing my friend Melanie doing such a great job on her challenge. I'll try to post a picture that represents a letter of the alphabet each day. I'm gonna try to use all of my own photos, this should make it even more fun. Hope you enjoy!

Letter A

A is for Antique booth

Pharmacy Frustration



I wonder sometimes if it's just me or does anyone else have pharmacy troubles like I do ?!?!?Having a child with CF I have to deal with pharmacies alot, so much medicine to order every month. Well, for a long time we used CF Pharmacy, you would think CF pharmacy - child with CF things would go great. WRONG! Each month I had to go through a act of congress to get her meds delivered. Well, we finally changed to a local pharmacy , things were going super. Then we get a letter from our insurance, we had to change our prescription on two of her most expensive meds to a specialty pharmacy. I thought great ..... but surely it'll be ok, WRONG! Today was time to order, after talking to these people previously two different times they tell me today they don't have her prescriptions let alone her insurance information, One lady even tells me she's never talked to me before. I lost it! I said I went through this stuff for so long with CF pharmacy, now here we are on our first order with you and already off to a bad start. Anyway, after being put on hold a few times I hope things finally got straightened out, we'll see I guess. If you see me around and I'm bald you'll know I've pulled my hair out over the deal! haha ...

Our Weekend




Hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine was really nice. I enjoyed getting to spend time with Steve, not very often he ever takes off work, it was nice that he had two days he could take off, we really needed it! We didn't do anything fancy, but still had fun. Saturday started off as a ugly day, so much fog ... didn't think the sun would ever shine through, thank goodness though by the afternoon it was beautiful. Saturday we spend the day together with Molly, then Saturday afternoon Tiffany picked up Molly to spend the night with her. Steve and I went to Detroit, AL to an antique auction, of course we had fun there.

This morning we slept in, then got ready and went for breakfast at the Waffle House, been forever since we've gone out for breakfast alone. After breakfast he wanted to go for a walk, so I recommended a walk through the lot at Carl Hogan Cheverolet. HAHA! (Yes, I just wanted to check out the new Tahoe's and Yukon's) anyway ...... after checking out the stickers on them I decided I won't be getting a new one anytime soon. OUCH! After our sticker shock we decided to take a ride around Columbus looking at homes. I just love the area around College St., some really gorgous homes. It was nice today but wish the flowers/trees had been in bloom. That'll just give us an excuse to go riding around looking at them again soon though.

We pretty much just had a lazy afternoon watching the race on tv, then it was back to work tonight for Steve. Ughhhh .....
