Random playlist

I finally got around to figuring out how to format the micro SD card for my phone. I got one from a friend, and now I have all of his music on my phone--all 200 some-odd songs! (and trust me, some of the songs ARE odd!)

My shuffle went from Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" to "Mood Indigo" by Duke Ellington to Blue Oyster Cult to JP Sousa....

Weird...

Thanks to Kelly

I have found a fun little interior design quiz.

My results are:
58% Nantucket style (living there must have rubbed off on me)
25% arts & crafts (good, cuz I like doing them!)
17% Wine Country style (woohoo-love wine!)

Now I need a couple of grand to decorate my house with the furniture they suggest...

Long overdue pics





































Here are some photos of the ice storm that happened back in December. Ya know - the BIG one - the one where I had to cancel my house warming party (I SWEAR that's still going to happen one of these days!) and most of the area had no power for at least a week?
















Yeah - THAT ice storm.
















Unfortunately, I only got a few pictures out before my camera battery died, and not having power, I had no way to charge it. (obviously)
















So here are a few of the pictures of the crazy ice storm damage in our backyard, which we're still trying to pick up.

spring is losing its battle


I know the pic is pretty small - it was taken with my cell phone - I'll try to get a better pic. If you can't see it, they're crocus sprouts that are coming up from the bulbs I planted in the fall. Now the snow is just going to cover them up! ugh...

American Idol

So far, we have Michael, Danny and Alexis.

HOW THE !@$@# did Michael get through?!?
He shouldn't have even gotten this far. Anoop and Ricky were far better - even that really obnoxious Tatiana was better than Michael.

argh

stupid snow

GO AWAY!

I'm sick of slipping and sliding! I saw flower shoots coming through the snow today and I want them to stay.

blueberries beware...

I want to plant blueberry bushes in the side yard come spring, but the boy is worried that blueberries will roll down the small hill and get caught up in the lawnmower. This is how we know that he doesn't eat much fruit - how big does he think these blueberries are?! He's seriously afraid that the berries will mess up the mower!!

silly boy...

valentine's dinner

We went to the Gondola Restaurant in Leominster - it wasn't too bad. The service was somewhat slow, but the food was pretty good. I had eggplant gondola - it was eggplant wrapped around cheese, kind of like manicotti. The boy obviously had ravioli, what else?

Tonight I made cajun catfish, homemade french fries, and garlic bread. yum!

Big bruise on the back of my knee. No idea how it got there.

I am a lucky woman

The boy went out at 9:45 tonight and looked for a half hour to find Cool Whip for me. He wasn't successful, but he did it.

Wow.

random "Buffy" info

Did anyone else know that Alyson Hannigan (Willow) married Alexis Denisof (Wesley)? Is this common knowledge, or am I just missing things here?

wow. cool. :-)
